About Sara


Bio

I graduated with a bachelor's in physics from Princeton University in 2019 and am currently a PhD student at Caltech in Materials Science. I have tutored peers and younger students in physics and math since high school and throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies so far, and am eager to continue tutoring those subjects.

I have also won honorary mention at the International Olympiad of Astronomy and Astrophysics and competed in astronomy-related events in Science Olympiad for 6...

I graduated with a bachelor's in physics from Princeton University in 2019 and am currently a PhD student at Caltech in Materials Science. I have tutored peers and younger students in physics and math since high school and throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies so far, and am eager to continue tutoring those subjects.

I have also won honorary mention at the International Olympiad of Astronomy and Astrophysics and competed in astronomy-related events in Science Olympiad for 6 years in middle and high school, and am comfortable tutoring astronomy.

I received perfect scores on the SAT and ACT, and earned a 170 on the Standard GRE's math section and a 169 on the GRE's verbal section.

Having learned French for over six years, I can also tutor introductory French.

As a physics major, I have taken math courses through single variable and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and differential equations. I have also tutored math across levels ranging from high school algebra to multivariable calculus, and my students have been quite satisfied with my encouraging approach and emphasis on conceptual understanding behind problem-solving.

Please reach out to me with any questions or to schedule a tutoring session. I look forward to working with you!

Knowledgeable and excellent tutor

Sara helped me understand Maxwell's equstions and its application to problems of electromagnetism. She is an excellent teacher! Sara takes the time to review the material in an understandable way. She is thorough and patient.
