Bio

Howdy Im Jude. I have recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics with a minor in Physics, with plans to continue my education in graduate school. While getting my degree, I had the opportunity to gain experience teaching and tutoring math and physics both in and out of a classroom, hosting office hours, proctoring oral exams, and giving 1-1 lessons to students.

Howdy Im Jude. I have recently graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics with a minor in Physics, with plans to continue my education in graduate school. While getting my degree, I had the opportunity to gain experience teaching and tutoring math and physics both in and out of a classroom, hosting office hours, proctoring oral exams, and giving 1-1 lessons to students. During my summers, I spent my time as a Camp counselor and Outdoor trip leader/guide for Teton Valley Ranch Camp, teaching wilderness and outdoor skills in the backcountry of Wyoming. In one way or another Ive taught students from the ages of 11 to 23 in a multitude of forms.

In my time teaching from the classroom to the wilderness and in my time learning, be it high school, college, or independently, I've come to the belief that to teach is to connect. Each student is different, one explanation won't work for everyone, and one method of learning won't work for everyone. As a tutor My primary goal is to figure out how a given student learns and adjust to them. Connecting with a student on personal interests helps more with teaching than meets the eye. Mathematics bombards you with definitions and asks you to then do gymnastics with them, up into the highest levels of math. The hardest part is figuring out what a given object, idea, or topic is. With this often, a good conversation is all you need to figure out a hard topic. If the Gymnastics (or algebra) is what sets you back, walking through problems with a guiding hand is all you need.

Ive been Lucky enough to guide folks through desolate terrain and confusing mathematics, and in doing so, taught plenty, and I would love to teach and help out in any way I can!

First Lesson is always on me, and feel free to reach out as my rates are flexible and I'm more than happy to adjust!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

Math is a language, Algebra is the act of speaking or communicating. Everyone's math journey really starts to begin here, and if you're willing to lean into it, Algebra can become one of the best skills you'll ever learn. It is a skill that will never leave you as long as you are in math classes, from here on out, if your journey in math continues, and I hope it does, Algebra will be by your side through it all. Given the opportunity, I hope to show you the fun and importance of algebra
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

Math is a Language, Algebra is the act of speaking or communicating. At this point, your math journey has begun, and if you aim to go on to further subjects, we need to first refine your algebra skills, just as you learn in English to develop arguments and improve your writing style. Here, we will take what you learned in your first algebra class to a new level. Algebra is a fun skill to use, and here is where we will begin to really see it.
Calculus

Calculus

Calculus is the backbone of everything, and I claim it is the single most important tool we as a species have developed. It is a tool that is used so often you almost forget you use it. Effectively, all of my classes in my degree past calculus used calculus, and all the classes past calculus, which I have gotten the opportunity to help teach, use it as well. I personally have struggled learning calc in my time, and I intimately understand how it feels to not get this subject so I am more than happy to help teach it in any way I can.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

Differential equations, I claim, is one of the first major math classes you get to really feel like you're actually doing something. Whether you're going off to create and engineer amazing things, or continue to learn more about how our world works in physics, chem or bio. Diffeq is a great equilizer and a time in which you can solidify your skills in the stuff you'll actually end up doing. If you give this class the care it deserves, it will reward you by being a fun class and help tie a bow on all of your education in calculus.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

When I took this class in college, I originally didn't do too well in it. Discrete math was one of the first times I started to break away from the pure calculus series, and thus, this change was one I felt unaccustomed to. I largely didn't do well in this course as the topics felt disconnected after taking more advanced classes, particularly real analysis 1 and 2. I began to gain a clearer picture of what this class is really meant to do. To tutor this subject, I would aim to show the connectedness of the subject to the rest of math, slow down and focus on the soft skills of this class, particularly the proof writing and different styles of thinking used here, and use real-world examples to motivate some of the more abstract parts of this subject.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

Linear algebra is a core tool and component of math and physics at large. From Computing Obervables in my Quantum classes, to finding out the true meaning of a derivative in scalar fields Ive been lucky enough to see where linear algebra takes you. I've helped teach in classes where we use the tools of Linear algebra to their full effect, and I am more than happy to teach them directly.
Physics

Physics

Physics is the first and most prominent application of math, while many understandably wish you could divorce the two, they are as intertwined as any two subjects can be. Physics can have a hard learning curve, which I personally felt, and getting over the slog of using arbitrary equations, and not knowing why you do anything, gets you to a place of real accomplishment when you can look back and know why so much is the way it is. Physics hard but rewarding subject, and can be truly amazing to learn if you approach it with open arms.
Precalculus

Precalculus

Precalc is one of the first real challenges and applications of the tools you built in your previous math classes. The expectation shifts from learning new math to using the math you know to learn more. Beyond being a class that relies on your previous knowledge, it also covers a wide range of topics to adequately prepare you for the larger calculus series. Since this class relies on your understanding of old material, many students can find this class unenjoyable. In my experience thats not because of what you learn in precalc, but what you didn't learn in previous courses. To learn to tutor these precalc concepts, I would focus on the underlying and perhaps underdeveloped math skills that should be solid but can often not be, which is totally ok! After we feel strong on the underlying concepts, returning to the new stuff feels easier, and then at that point it's a matter of a good conversation and discussion on the topic.
Quantum Physics

Quantum Physics

I was lucky enough to, while only minoring in physics, take a full series of Quantum Mechanics (1 and 2) classes. To do so, my classes used McIntyre and Griffiths textbooks, and this two-pronged approach gave us a wide but solid look at undergrad Quantum Mechanics. I claim the hard part of Quantum is the sheer amount of different math tools you use, which are rolled up into one, as well as the unintuitive physical consequences of such math. To tutor this course, I would focus on the areas of math in which a student struggles. Often, the main issue is the overwhelming amount of new notation all at once, which simply takes a slowdown and conversation to allow such notation to settle in your mind. But the focus on continuous ODEs, the need for Fourier transforms, or discrete Linear Algebra objects can often come up as difficulty areas. Quantum is a subject that, at the end of the day, can be easy to understand mathematically. The hard part is that it's one of the first physics classes that truly leaves the regular intuition of our senses, requiring you to fully trust the math.
Real Analysis

Real Analysis

I was lucky enough to take Real Analysis 1 and 2 in college. I did terribly on Real Analysis 1; it was the first class in college to really slap me in the face. That being said after pushing through, passing the class (with a C+), and then taking Real Analysis 2 the class began to click for me. It may be counterintuitive to hire a tutor who admits how bad they did in the class, but that is the exact reason to hire me as a tutor. I, too, have felt how hard Real Analysis can be and still come out on the other side of Analysis 2 with a grade I'm proud of (an A). What made the switch for me was getting to know and really sitting down with my professor and talking through all of it. I understand not everyone gets such opportunities, and while I'm far from being a professor for this course, Real Analysis is a real proof-based course that is best served by talking through the concepts and the techniques. Hearing a different perspective and how someone else approaches the problems is what I needed, and it may be what another student needs too.
