Tutor with a background in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Economics; Freeman Asian Scholar at Wesleyan and Dartmouth; passionate about learning and student success.
About Me
I'm a passionate and dedicated educator with a strong academic background and a love for teaching. I specialize in Computer Science, Mathematics & Economics.
My journey in education has been both rewarding and inspiring. I specialize in teaching Economics, Mathematics, and Theory of Knowledge (TOK) at the IGCSE and IB levels. Over the years, I've had the pleasure of teaching more than 30 students from various schools, including ACS Independent, ACS International, SOTA, SJI & SJI International, as well as students from countries like France, the US, Germany, and Ecuador. I believe in helping students grasp fundamental concepts rather than relying on rote memorization, and I structure my classes to facilitate deep understanding. Many of my students have seen significant improvements in their grades, often by at least 2 points.
In addition to teaching, I have gained valuable work experience in various roles, such as Product Management & Data Science at Treehouse Finance, Research Assistant at the privacy-tech-lab, and internships in investment analysis at Coinhako and Farquhar Capital. Outside of academics and work, I enjoy playing the piano and sharing my music through piano covers on YouTube. I'm always eager to connect with new students and help them achieve their academic goals while making learning an enjoyable and enriching experience.
Academic Qualifications
I graduated from ACS Independent, achieving a perfect 45 Points in the IB Diploma exams, excelling in Higher Level Physics, Mathematics, and Economics. I also scored in the 99th percentile on the ACT, with a perfect score in ACT Writing. Currently, I am an undergraduate at Wesleyan University, studying Computer Engineering at Dartmouth College and Economics and Computer Science as a Freeman Asian Scholar.
Tutoring Experience
I'm an accomplished educator with extensive experience in teaching and tutoring. Specializing in Economics, Mathematics, CS and Theory of Knowledge (TOK) at the IGCSE, AP, and IB levels, I have taught over 30 students from prestigious schools such as ACS Independent, ACS International, SOTA, SJI & SJI International. His teaching extends internationally, with students from countries including France, the US, Germany, and Ecuador and has 3 years of experience. He is dedicated to enabling students to grasp fundamental concepts rather than relying on rote memorization. I am specialized in teaching high-school students (e.g. AP, IB), but is happy to teach middle-school students (e.g. IGCSE) and other groups as well. I am an undergraduate at Wesleyan University, studying Computer Engineering at Dartmouth College and Economics and Computer Science as a Freeman Asian Scholar. He has attained the Dean's List multiple times, and has been chosen as a Course Assistant & Research Assistant for the Mathematics & Computer Science Department. I am an integral part of the Mathematics Competition Team Executive Committee, winning top awards in international and regional competitions (Distinction, BMO1 2019; Gold, SMKC 2019; Prize, AIMO 2017; Distinction, Euclid 2017; Gold, SASMO 2017, etc.). In school, he was selected as a mentor for the Peer Mentorship Programme and the Economics Mentorship Programme. He also initiated a tutoring programme for Clementi Wishing Well and Heartfriends, afterschool cares in the school neighbourhood. My diverse experience and dedication make him a highly effective and respected educator.
