Brandon H.
Brandon graduated from the University of New Orleans with a Master of Science in Physics, where he also worked as a graduate teaching assistant for four years, teaching physics labs and tutoring students in physics and mathematics. He has supported students from a wide range of backgrounds, helping them build confidence, strengthen foundational skills, and tackle challenging concepts. He is highly skilled in math and physical science instruction from the middle school level all the way through college coursework and has tutored extensively in that age range. Brandon is patient, adaptable, and committed to making complex ideas accessible to all.
He’s also a well-known asset at any trivia night, thanks to his habit of collecting utterly unnecessary (but surprisingly useful) random facts.
Ezra H.
As a physics researcher and educator, Ezra has gained 7 years of experience instilling students with the guidance and the insights they need to grasp complex topics. He received his B.S. in Physics from the University of Minnesota, and his M.S. also in Physics from San Diego State University. He has taught math to students from elementary through upper division college courses.
Ezra’s enjoys sharing his excitement about math and theory providing deep insight into how the natural world can be quantified. This has translated well into finding ways unique to each learner that make them capable of finding solutions to novel problems on their own after being guided through examples. The flash of recognition that occurs after a student comes to truly understand a concept is a spark he enjoys creating again and again.
Jacob M.
Jacob is currently working on earning his PhD from the University of Rochester. Having graduated from BSU in 2018, he celebrated by cultivating his love of nature on a cross-country camping trip across the lower forty-eight and Alaska. The last seven years, he’s spent pursuing his other passion, teaching. Working as an Adjunct Professor and TA at the University of Rochester, he has enjoyed learning to adapt the curriculum to his students’ individual needs.
Pawan B.
Pawan B. is an aspiring STEM educator with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Computer Science from UBC Okanagan. Growing up in Kamloops, British Columbia, he developed a deep interest in technology, mathematics, and the creative world of video games. Throughout his undergraduate degree, Pawan explored advanced mathematics, programming, and game development — fields he always imagined bringing into the classroom to inspire future learners!
Pawan’s passion for education grew from seeing how students thrive when they feel genuinely connected to what they are learning. He is especially motivated by helping students recognize their own abilities, develop independence, and see themselves as capable problem-solvers. Whether teaching math, physics, or computer science, Pawan aims to empower every learner to take ownership of their growth and to see relevance, joy, and possibility in their work.
Through his teaching and tutoring experience, Pawan has developed a strong philosophy around mathematics: he believes that becoming a math educator means helping students understand that mathematics is not just about results — it is the process of thinking, reasoning, and viewing the world through a mathematical lens. He emphasizes that math is a learnable skill, much like playing an instrument or mastering a challenging video game level. With patience, encouragement, guidance, and lots of practice (where mistakes are highly encouraged), he helps students build confidence and develop a durable mathematical understanding.
Alongside his classroom experience, Pawan has several years of one-on-one tutoring experience with students from elementary to university. He specializes in math, physics, and computer science, and often teaches students how to design and program their own video games — showing how logic, problem-solving, and mathematics power everything behind the scenes. His lessons are interactive, student-centered, and tailored to each learner’s interests so they feel seen and supported.
As a mentor, Pawan continues to explore strategies for engaging students through experiential, game-based, and inquiry-driven learning. He finds supporting students’ growth deeply rewarding and sees each learning journey as a partnership. Outside of teaching, Pawan enjoys coding new game prototypes, tinkering with computers, and experimenting with creative project ideas — many of which end up enriching his lessons. Fun fact: a well-known YouTuber once played one of Pawan’s video games live on stream in front of thousands of viewers, sparking his commitment to helping young people experience the joy of building games themselves.
