As a teacher, I pride myself in understanding different learning styles, and students of wildly different educational backgrounds. Consequently, I know how best to help my students not only memorize information, but genuinely learn a subject matter.

Two things are most important to me to impart on students. First, that my students learn to think critically, to strengthen their learning ability in school and far beyond. And second, that they never left saying "I hate this class", and asking "when will I ever need to know this?" I believe that all knowledge is useful, and relatable to many aspects of life that will help students succeed in the future.

A bit about me: My educational background culminated in a Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering. My profession is a Software Engineer. I have 10 years of experience in this, ranging from management and team leadership, to straight up code writing and application development. My favorite part about this line of work is not really the engineering itself, but the teaching, training, and mentorship I am able to impart on my teams and colleagues.

I have worked with and taught people from a variety of educational backgrounds, professions, and general life situations. This is why I have learned (and stress) the value of all knowledge.

Math isn't just for engineers and scientists (everyone pays bills, does taxes, follows a recipe to bake a cake, scratches their head at the market trying to figure out which strawberry jam is the best deal, etc).

English, grammar, and reading comprehension aren't just for writers and literature specialists (everyone would benefit from learning effective communication, and the ability to write coherently for peers and colleagues to understand their work and ideas).

My goal is for my students to learn their very own ability to learn (anything!). For students to take my lessons and use them to better their education far beyond their sessions with me. In the process, they'll probably ace their classes and exams, too.
