Patient, personalized tutoring from an experienced UCSC undergraduate with years of classroom and one-on-one tutoring experience. Whether you're stuck on a concept or prepping for finals — I've got you.
I'm an undergraduate at UC Santa Cruz pursuing dual Bachelor of Science degrees in Physics and Mathematical Theory & Computation — driven by a relentless curiosity about the fundamental workings of the universe. My goal is to become a professor and theoretical physicist.
"In order to better understand our place in the natural world, I relentlessly push against the boundaries of human knowledge. I continuously exercise my mathematical and physical intuition in order to uncover fundamental truths, and it is these revelations from which I derive satisfaction."
My tutoring approach is relaxed, judgment-free, and student-led. We go at your pace, focus on what you're actually struggling with, and build real understanding — not just memorized formulas. I've worked with students at Cabrillo College, UC Santa Cruz, and privately since 2023.
MESA Department Award — "Most Helpful Student" 2023
Voted by peers at the Cabrillo STEM Center for outstanding support of
fellow students in math and physics.
Years of formal and private tutoring experience — from one-on-one sessions to college supplemental instruction programs.
Providing structured math tutoring at a dedicated learning center, working with students across a range of levels and ages.
Working one-on-one with students to help them meet their academic goals in advanced mathematics and physics. In-person and online sessions available.
Graded homework for an upper-division undergraduate physics course, developing a deep familiarity with common student misconceptions and how to address them.
Attended class lectures and provided bi-weekly 1.5-hour sessions addressing conceptual gaps and problem-solving strategies. SI programs are proven to significantly improve student learning outcomes.
Tutored STEM students from underrepresented groups in college-level math (through linear algebra) and physics (kinematics, E&M, optics, thermodynamics for engineers).
Personally invited by the Physics Department Chair to serve as a PLC tutor, supporting students through physics prerequisites and marking Physics Learning Activities (PLAs) per California law.
Academic scholarships and recognition earned across Cabrillo College and Scotts Valley High School.
Solid fundamentals and real problem-solving skills — for every level.
From foundational algebra to multivariable calculus and linear algebra — I help students build the kind of math intuition that makes everything else easier. We work through concepts step by step until they feel natural.
Physics can feel abstract — until it doesn't. I focus on building conceptual clarity alongside the math, so you understand why the equations work, not just how to plug numbers in.
Getting started is easy. No packages, no commitments — just learning.
Send a text or email. Tell me what subject you need help with and where you're at. No pressure, no quiz — just a quick intro.
We'll find a time that works for you — in person near Santa Cruz or online over video, whichever is easier.
We get to work. You'll leave each session with real clarity — not just answers, but a genuine understanding of the material.
