Bio

I have a lot of tutoring experience in a variety of different settings. In high school I did general peer tutoring through my school's Honors Society, as well as algebra tutoring with academic support students. In college I aced my first Differential Equations exam and as a freshmen was hired as a tutor to hold drop-in office hours for students to get help. Later I became an undergraduate learning assistant in Vector Calculus helping in a lecture with over 80 students and held exam prep and...

I have a lot of tutoring experience in a variety of different settings. In high school I did general peer tutoring through my school's Honors Society, as well as algebra tutoring with academic support students. In college I aced my first Differential Equations exam and as a freshmen was hired as a tutor to hold drop-in office hours for students to get help. Later I became an undergraduate learning assistant in Vector Calculus helping in a lecture with over 80 students and held exam prep and homework help sessions. I have also done private one-on-one Calculus tutoring.

My undergraduate degree is in Optical Sciences and Engineering. I study how light works, and have gotten to help design telescopes that are sitting in space, and test them by shooting lasers at them. My field is hand-in-hand with math and physics and I have a lot of applied experience, and am very well suited to help you in your studies. In addition, I have a minor in Applied Mathematics, and am taking Masters coursework in Optical Sciences.

As your tutor, I intend to start from the most basic principles so that no matter where you are coming from we will have an easy time getting you where you need to go. I will show you general problem solving methods that will build your intuition and teach you how to learn math, so that you can apply your thinking and solve brand new problems, instead of memorizing old ones. There are absolutely only good questions, and I am extremely happy to take as much time explaining anything as you desire.

ACT Math

ACT Math

I received a 34 on my ACT and a perfect score on the math section. I am only a few years into college so the feelings of taking the test are still fresh for me. I study math and engineering, and have put into practice time and again what the ACT math section covers.
Calculus

Calculus

I have taken calculus at the high school and college level and can provide you with familiarity in either. I received a 5 on my Calc BC test, and have been a 'TA' for advanced classes like vector calculus. I have also taken many higher math and engineering courses and yes, we use calculus everyday.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I really like differential equations, they lead to fun problem solving, interesting applications to real world problems, and are an extremely powerful mathematical object. I was hired as a tutor for differential equations when I took the course in undergrad, and as an Optical Scientist we use these equations all the time to define how waves and energy move through space.
Physics

Physics

I really enjoy the problem solving behind physics and logical rule set it follows, and I hope I can teach you the ways to make physics problem simpler. I have taken common undergraduate physics courses like Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism, as well as more advanced and specialized physics for my degree like Semiconductor Physics and Optical Physics.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

As an engineer and mathematician I can't overstate how often trigonometry gets used, which has given me a lot of expertise to help you. I have a deep understanding from applying trigonometry onto things like wave equations, imaginary numbers, and differential equations, and can give you lots of extra context.
