Hi, I'm Maria, and I am very passionate about physics, astronomy and math. Whether you are having difficulties with physics or math, or just want to learn a bit more about your favorite physical science, I can help! I received my M.S. in Physics from Colorado State University in May, 2010. Currently I am a PhD candidate at CSU performing solar physics research at High Altitude Observatory, a part of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, in Boulder, CO. I also received a double B.S. in both Physics and Philosophy from the University of Evansville in Evansville, Indiana. I have 3 years of experience assisting undergraduates with Physics labs and homework, 2 years of experience teaching college level Astronomy labs, and I have been tutoring for WyzAnt for almost two years. I can tutor math from pre-algebra all the way through calculus III, and I can also tutor multiple levels of high school physics and physical science. Within physics, I can tutor undergraduate level physics courses including: college physics (algebra based), university physics (calculus based), quantum (using Griffiths), mechanics (using Taylor), electricity and magnetism (using Griffiths), astronomy, and math methods. Also, I am very familiar with the computer language IDL, and I am experienced with LaTex. Each student is unique and learns best in his or her own way. It is my goal as a tutor to understand what works best for each student, and to help each student excel to the best of his or her ability. Maybe we can work together soon!

Due to my large work load this semester, I am no longer accepting new students. Exceptions will be made for previous students and referrals.

Calculus

I took three semesters of Calculus (Calc I, II, III) in college, and also took multiple math methods courses for physics in both undergrad and grad school. In the past, I have helped students with their calculus homework, and also aided high school students in preparing for their AP Calculus exam.

Physics

Yay Physics! Physics has been my passion since my junior year of high school. I like physics because it challenges me every day. It is interesting, exciting, and describes how the world around us works. I have a bachelor's degree and master's degree in physics, and am currently working toward my Physics PhD. I have been tutoring and teaching physics to students for nearly six years. I am familiar with all realms of physics from mechanics to electricity and magnetism to quantum mechanics. In addition...

Microsoft PowerPoint

A very important part of a successful career is being able to communicate ideas and/or research results successfully to a broad audience. One of the most effective ways to do this is through the use of a PowerPoint presentation. I have been using PowerPoint consistently since my freshman year of high school. I give multiple talks a year as part of my research requirements, and I use PowerPoint for all of them. Additionally, with the aid of my PowerPoint presentations, I have won multiple awards...

Astronomy

I LOVE astronomy. At Colorado State University, I taught Intro to Astronomy labs for 4 semester, as well as aided astronomy students with their homework. My chosen field of study is Solar Physics, so I have special expertise in all things Sun related.

SAT Math

Does the thought of preparing for standardized tests fill you with dread? With a little practice and preparation, I'll show you that the math section problems really aren't that bad! It is very likely that you already have the ability to answer many of the SAT Math questions right. The problems most students have difficulty with are those dealing with classes which they have taken a few years ago (i.e. algebra, geometry, pre-calculus), and so may have forgotten some of the basics. To help students... Read More

Philosophy

I have an undergraduate degree in both philosophy and physics. In philosophy, my expertise is philosophy of science, which goes hand-in-hand with my physics degree. I have taken classes in ethics, epistemology, philosophy of science, ancient Greek philosophy, modern philosophy, fundamentals of neuroscience, and basic symbolic logic.

ACT Math

Math sections for standardized tests may seem a bit scary, but they don't have to be! It is very likely that you already have the ability to answer every ACT math question right. The problems most students have difficulty with are those dealing with classes which they have taken a few years ago (i.e. algebra, geometry, pre-calculus), and so may have forgotten some of the basics. To help students prepare for the ACT math section, I help them identify the type of problems which are difficult or... Read More
