"Hi, I’m Nora! I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, and I’ve been fortunate to gain several years of experience tutoring students in math, science, and various technical subjects. I’ve worked as a swim instructor, teaching students of all ages how to swim, while also tutoring high school students in subjects like algebra and calculus. Additionally, I’ve taught programming languages such as Python, C++, and Java, and have worked with students on robotics projects. As a mentor in a college program for underclassmen in my major, I’ve guided peers through coursework and other activities, helping them better understand challenging concepts and develop academic skills that will aid them in future classes.

When tutoring, I focus on making complex subjects more approachable by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable parts. I find that students often benefit from assisted practice to reinforce their understanding, so I encourage lots of hands-on problem-solving. I also strive to adapt my teaching style to each individual, recognizing that everyone learns differently. If a student is struggling, I am always willing to find different ways to explain a topic until it clicks. Ultimately, my goal is to ensure my students not only succeed but feel confident in their abilities. I’m dedicated to providing the support and encouragement they need to reach their full potential, no matter the subject." less...
