I have more than a decade of tutoring experience. I've tutored in all environments, from one-on-one to small groups to an entire classroom at a tutoring center. I've taught all ages, from kindergarten to college. Most of my experience is with middle school and up. My main teaching focus is STEM: all math and science through undergraduate engineering. This includes all undergraduate mechanical and electrical engineering (what I studied in college), as well lower-division general courses: math through ordinary differential equations, intro statistics, intro computer science, physics through intro modern physics, general chemistry. As for ages high school and below, I tutor all core subjects: math, science, English, history. In addition, I also teach French and Spanish pronunciation.

Regarding my teaching style, I like to focus on your critical path items: to improve your grades, prepare for your tests, etc. During sessions, I like to dive right in -- to work on assignments due immediately, and fill core gaps in understanding as we encounter them. I use lots of visuals and simulations to convey important ideas; to give a different look at a concept your teacher/professor didn't explain clearly. I may provide homework, but only when you aren't already swamped with work. I make homework challenging, but short.

I have a background in mechanical and electrical engineering. I have a B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Davis (GPA 3.64, graduated with honors), where I focused on control theory. I also have a M.S. in mechanical and electrical engineering from the University of Michigan (GPA 3.81), where I focused on machine learning and signal processing. I currently work as a research engineer for remote sensing systems; I write algorithms for satellites. I develop defenses to adversarial attacks on neural networks.
