About Marvin
About Me
With a degree in math and chemistry from Columbia University and over a decade of experience in the tech industry, I bring a unique blend of academic expertise and real-world knowledge to my tutoring. I have tutored over 50 students at various levels, from elementary school to high school, helping them develop a strong foundation in math and science.
In addition to my academic and teaching experience, I have worked for over 10 years in data science, engineering, and product management, including roles at Meta (Facebook). This hands-on experience in tech allows me to show students how the subjects they study apply to real-world challenges, particularly in STEM fields.
Outside of tutoring and tech, I am passionate about martial arts, surfing, and cooking—activities that help me stay balanced and bring creativity and discipline to both my work and teaching. Whether in academics or life, I believe in making learning a fun and engaging process, and I strive to inspire the same excitement in my students.

Unlock Your Full Potential with Expert Tutoring from a Columbia University Graduate
Are you looking for a tutor who can make learning both fun and effective? With a degree in math and chemistry from Columbia University and experience in teaching not only academics but also sports and robotics, I bring a dynamic, real-world approach to every lesson.
Teaching Method & Techniques
My teaching philosophy is based on two core beliefs: learning should be engaging, and it should connect to the real world. I draw from my diverse experiences in education, athletics, and the tech world to make concepts relatable and enjoyable. Whether we’re tackling a complex math problem or breaking down a chemistry equation, I use hands-on activities, real-world examples, and creative problem-solving techniques to keep students motivated and curious.
A Typical Lesson Plan
Each lesson is tailored to the individual needs of the student, whether we’re preparing for an upcoming exam, mastering fundamental concepts, or exploring advanced topics. A typical session might start with a brief review of previous lessons, followed by an introduction to new material using interactive examples. We’ll then dive into practice problems, encouraging critical thinking and real-world application. I always leave time for questions and ensure the student has a solid grasp of the material before moving on.
What Sets Me Apart
What truly sets me apart is my background in both academia and the tech industry. I know how math and science are applied beyond the classroom, and I integrate that knowledge into my lessons. Having coached a high school robotics team, I understand the importance of teamwork, innovation, and making learning exciting. My goal is not just to help students excel academically but to inspire a love for learning that goes beyond grades.
Who Are These Lessons For?
I offer tutoring for students at various levels—from elementary to high school, and even college-level courses. Whether you need help with basic math, advanced chemistry, or applying STEM concepts in real-world scenarios, my lessons are designed to meet you where you are and take you to the next level.
Ready to make learning fun and effective? Let’s work together to achieve your goals!
