I'm a Mechanical Engineering student in the Honors Program at Villanova University, where I've earned a 3.95 GPA and a place on the Dean's List. Math has always been a strong point for me. I scored a 770 on the SAT Math section, earned A's in Precalculus and Calculus I and II in high school, and received a 102 overall in Calculus III at Villanova. Because of that background, I've naturally become the person friends turn to when they're stuck on a math/physics concept.

Because of that background, I've naturally become the person friends turn to when they're stuck on a math/physics concept.
Most of my tutoring experience has been one-on-one, working with college peers, younger cousins, and children I babysit. I also spent a summer as a camp counselor, where part of my role involved helping kids ages five to ten strengthen their math and reading skills. Across all ages, I've found that students learn best when they feel supported and when the process is broken down into very clear, manageable steps.
I most commonly take the "I do, we do, you do" approach when tutoring. I start by explaining the concept or method in a way that highlights common mistakes and points of confusion. Then I guide students through practice problems, beginning with a model where I take most of the lead and gradually shifting responsibility to them as they gain confidence. My goal is always to help students understand not just how to solve a problem, but why the method works, so they can apply the concepts to new scenarios with clarity and independence.
