Teaching Experience & Philosophy: 

Charles has worked as a tutor for three years, helping high school students around Austin with Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Statistics, AP Calculus AB/BC, SAT/ACT Math, and AP Chemistry, Physics, and Biology. Charles enjoys teaching STEM material as much as he loves learning about it, and he often tries to incorporate the interesting, real-world applications of science and math to give students a broader sense of the subject. 

​

"At a certain age, just knowing how to solve problems or memorizing patterns isn't quite enough. I like to work with students to develop their own sense of intuition about the subjects they are learning and help them keep the bigger picture in mind when they encounter unfamiliar problems. "

​

Counseling Experience & Philosophy: 

Charles has unique experience in the college admission process being a first-generation college student who had to learn the tricks through experience. Now, as a current Ph.D. student, he still enjoys mentoring students in navigating the college admission process and pursuing opportunities that can lead them to their ultimate goals.

​

"It isn't enough to just help students get into a good school, guiding a student successfully means enabling students to learn more about themselves-- their interests, their goals, and the direction they want to take in their lives. That clarity is crucial to ensuring students stay focused and determined throughout their university experience and beyond. "
