I am a retired high school math teacher who started teaching math and physics when I was 19 years old. I love teaching and I consider moving a student from C level to A level to be a success for me first. I succeed to create math short cut almost for every math concept.

I first discovered my love for teaching when I worked as a ProAdvisor for Codecademy the summer after I completed my undergraduate degree. Following that, I led recitations as a graduate student for undergraduate Computer Science courses at the University of Pittsburgh. Both of these experiences provided me with a diverse group of students in terms of age, background, and learning goals. As a tutor, I like to avoid the over-used buzzwords that flood the Computer Science industry. I am pat... Read more
