Private tutor in Alameda, CA
Education
Civil & Environmental Bachelor's degree from UC Berkeley I graduated with a 3.3 GPA (folks, this is pretty decent for an engineering GPA, lemme tell ya :p) from the nation's top program for Civil and Environmental Engineering. During my time at Cal, I was also heavily involved in my Christian fellowship (Koinonia, which mean fellowship in Greek) and worked part-time jobs to support myself. I believe the study skills and work ethic resulting from my college experience would benefit those I potentially tutor.

Hobbies
Hi! I graduated from Cal 2 years ago and have been working as a construction cost estimator. I delivered pre-construction budget cost estimates for many projects in the Bay Area, with some big shot names such as the SF Moscone Center Expansion, the substructure for the proposed Warriors Stadium and the new air traffic control tower at SFO. I'm thinking about a career switch to the tech industry and so am planning on quitting and taking classes and self-study. I'd like to tutor part-time to help make ends meet. I enjoy teaching and volunteer as a staff and teacher at my church. I like hanging out with my youth group middle schoolers and teaching them. Even though they can be a zany handful, they're also very endearing. I, along with other friends and volunteers, love to serve at church and weekly plan bible studies, programs and outings for the kids. In my spare time, I enjoy biking and trying to do stuff on a fixie, hiking and seeing beautiful nature sights, searching for city nooks and crannies and exploring, and reading classics and trying to be cultured. I like going to cafes with my friends and finding new sights around the Bay Area. I'm originally from Fontana (props if you've heard of it) and moved up to Norcal for school. I love to visit my family when I have opportunity and see my parents, my 2 little sisters and my two huskie dogs. :)
