About Jensen Kalal
I'm passionate about helping students develop the skills and mindset needed to thrive in our rapidly evolving world.
My Background
I'm a University of Washington student studying Electrical and Computer Engineering. Growing up in the Tacoma public school system, I experienced firsthand the limitations of traditional education approaches.
My approach focuses on:
- Teaching students how to learn effectively, not just memorize
- Introducing technical skills early through programming and AI tools
- Building critical thinking and problem-solving abilities
- Preparing students for modern academic and career demands
I specialize in tutoring pre-college students in STEM subjects, programming, and modern learning strategies.
Based in the Greater Seattle area, I'm committed to supporting local students of all ages who want to learn in a modern, effective way.
My Approach
Personalized Learning
Every student is unique. I adapt my teaching style to match your learning preferences, pace, and goals.
Goal-Oriented
We set clear, achievable goals and track progress together. Success is measured by understanding, not just grades.
Modern Skills Integration
I incorporate programming, AI tools, and digital literacy into traditional subjects to prepare students for the future.
Collaborative Learning
I work closely with students, parents, and teachers to ensure a cohesive learning experience that supports academic success.

Learning in the Modern World
The educational landscape is changing rapidly. Here's how I prepare students for success in a world where AI and technology are reshaping how we learn and work.
AI as a Learning Tool
I teach students to use AI tools like ChatGPT thoughtfully and ethically. These are not shortcuts, but powerful learning multipliers that can enhance human potential.
Students learn to use AI as a collaborative partner for brainstorming, debugging code, explaining complex concepts, and generating study materials. Critical thinking and human judgment remain essential.
The focus is on asking better questions, evaluating AI responses critically, and using these tools to accelerate learning while maintaining academic integrity.
The Future of Learning
Traditional education often focuses on memorization and standardized testing. The future belongs to those who can think critically, solve complex problems, and adapt to rapidly changing technologies.
I teach students to become lifelong learners who can navigate uncertainty, collaborate effectively, and use technology as a tool for innovation rather than just consumption.
This means developing skills like computational thinking, digital literacy, and the ability to learn new tools quickly—all while maintaining strong foundational knowledge in core subjects.
