My interests, sports involvement, and community contributions
CRLA Certified Tutor
As a College Reading & Learning Association (CRLA) certified tutor, I've had the privilege of helping students master complex concepts in computer science, programming, and mathematics. With over 400 hours of tutoring experience, I've developed effective teaching strategies that cater to different learning styles and needs.
My tutoring philosophy centers on building a strong foundation of understanding rather than simply providing answers. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring concepts at their own pace.
