I am currently a Ph.D. student in Astrophysics at the University of Tokyo. I have obtained a Master's in Physics, specializing in Computational Astrophysics, as well as double majoring in Computer Science and Physics for my Bachelor's degree. I have 10 years of experience mentoring high school and university students on their IGCSE, AP, IB, A-Level, and university physics exams and assignments. I teach them the best ways to understand the fundamentals of physics and how to effectively handle exams. Additionally, I have helped students with programming and other scientific projects related to astronomy as part of my university's outreach program.

Since my teens, I have been extremely interested in coding and working on hobbyist electronics projects. I was also involved in an electronics startup with my roommates, where we developed digital automation and IoT products and brought them to market. In my daily research work, I write code to solve complex problems that run on a supercomputer at NAOJ in Japan.

Fun fact: I previously worked on important scientific projects such as the EHT collaboration, which produced the first-ever image of a black hole. Read less

Using an interactive teaching style through PowerPoint, videos, and graphics to explain complicated topics and boil them down to simple and easy-to-understand components. I'll teach the subjects based on your interests and passions rather than sticking entirely to a fixed syllabus. I'll make it fun and entertaining by drawing connections between the topic and everyday life. Read less
