I enjoy teaching what I am passionate about, especially with engineering topics (math, physics, and basic material science/chemistry). Of course, as a tutor I do not retain all the information within myself. (read more)
...As an undergraduate, I found Differential Equations to be an extremely beneficial and fascinating math course. It begins by defining terminology and mathematical models used in differential equations. The course then covers first-order and higher-order differential equations, as well as methods for solving them and their applications. (read more)
...As an aerospace engineering major now at UCLA, I do trigonometry in the back of my head, as well as almost all math in general. As someone who cried first at the sight of Algebra, I understand what you feel when you first don't understand something. But I know that eventually, we can conquer that small hill in your path to success. (read more)
