"Hi, I'm Owen!

I graduated with a B.S.E. in Computer Science from the University of Michigan and currently work in Chicago as a software engineer at a proprietary trading firm.

Throughout the past 10 years, I have tutored students across a myriad of STEM subjects including Computer Science, Statistics, Math, Physics, Chemistry, and more. I also served as an Instructional Aide at UM for EECS 482 (Introduction to Operating Systems) where I led classroom discussions and worked 1-on-1 with students during office hours. In my teaching philosophy, I always emphasize establishing a solid understanding of the underlying concepts instead of encouraging rote memorization or problem recognition. This has helped students significantly improve their grasp of subjects beyond just completing school assignments.

At work, I'm part of a team of talented developers who improve and maintain our automated trading systems, and I have had the fortune of learning from my colleagues. Outside of work, I also spend some free time embarking on personal and open-source projects that pique my interest. All of these experiences greatly influence my teaching and have given me a lot of insight into the important aspects of development and design that (unfortunately) aren't always emphasized enough in school.

Finally, I've loved teaching for as long as I can remember! I hope you'll see that, as I help you hone your skills, learn a new concept, or brush up on forgotten fundamentals, you also give me the opportunity to pursue my passion.

I look forward to meeting you!

P.S. Below are some specific courses that I have experience tutoring. If you aren't sure about course equivalencies at your school, simply ask and I'll let you know if I'm qualified to help with your class!
