Qualifications

As a PhD student at Penn, I offer tutoring online via meeting software of choice, with a focus on providing the highest level of service. A long term relationship is built on trust and open communication; I respond to most emails/texts within 6 hours.

My students call on me for assistance on a wide variety of undergraduate to graduate Math/CS classes, as well as SAT and AP Calculus prep. If you are looking for help with exam prep and/or homework assignments, please do not hesitate to reach out.

As a background, I have been assisting/tutoring students for the past decade and scored the 99th percentile in the SAT and 770/800 on the SAT Math II Subject Test and a 720/800 on the Chemistry SAT Subject test. I have tutored/assisted many undergraduates and high school level students since 2017. I earned a BA in Cognitive Science at Berkeley with a Regents Scholarship, MBA at UC Davis, and Masters in CS at Penn. I have also commented and revised Personal Statements and admissions applications since 2018 for students applying to STEM graduate and undergraduate programs/universities as well as assisted in selecting a shortlist of schools to apply to.

My students regularly see admissions to the top 25-50 universities. Some examples include Penn, UC Irvine, and various start ups. Please see testimonials below.

Lesson Schedule

Lessons will be scheduled with client with the following rules:

• Same-day cancellations, reschedulings, or no-shows by the student or by their parent/guardian without an excusable exception will incur a fee of 50% of the scheduled session. There is no penalty for cancelling or rescheduling the day before a session or earlier. However, if a student cancels or reschedules too often, we will need to discuss this issue on a case-by-case basis. This policy also applies in reverse. If I have to same day cancel or reschedule, your session is half off.
• Slight delays in joining the session are okay, but do not make it a recurring event.
• Notifications for cancellations or reschedulings may be sent via email.

“Bryant helped me prepare for job interviews, going step by step and explaining how to talk about my experiences in a relevant way to a software engineering position despite not having any prior internships. He also helped me fix my resume to be more professional. I highly recommend Bryant if you need to find a SWE job out of undergrad.” - KL

“Bryant has a rare ability to cut through the noise and offer direct, actionable career advice that helped me navigate a PIP, stand out as a software engineer, and ultimately grow in my role with confidence while recently helping me switch to a new company. He’s not only sharp and strategic, especially when it comes to job applications and optimizing transitions, but also calm, logical, and a great listener who knows exactly how to keep you grounded and focused.” - AV

“Bryant is able to provide experience-based feedback for those actively working towards a software engineering position with little experience or pursuing graduate-level training for the purpose of better employment opportunities. In a remote-capacity, Bryant is able to advise on the strongest trajectories that look promising for long-term career stability in software engineering. He is always on time to meetings. He is always responsive. He has a great personality and is very easy to work with. Highly recommend!” - RR
