For three years, he has worked as a teaching fellow for fellow university students, guiding them through subjects that often feel impossible—mathematics, physics, algorithms, data structures, and the fundamentals of computer science. Shawn’s secret weapon? Epic music playing in the background during his own study sessions. (He’s happy to share his playlist.) Outside of tutoring, Shawn writes novels, reads everything he can get his hands on, and watches far too many films and anime series. His teaching philosophy is simple and fierce: anybody can do anything. With patience, encouragement, and a little steady persistence, Shawn helps students discover that they are capable of far more than they ever imagined.
