Bio

I have a bachelor's and master's degree in physics and am certified to teach high school math, physics, and chemistry. I began my career in education in 2013 working part-time as a math tutor for grades K-12. While attending university, I also worked as a math tutor at several community colleges, an undergraduate teaching assistant for Calculus III, and a graduate teaching assistant for University Physics I and II.

I have a bachelor's and master's degree in physics and am certified to teach high school math, physics, and chemistry. I began my career in education in 2013 working part-time as a math tutor for grades K-12. While attending university, I also worked as a math tutor at several community colleges, an undergraduate teaching assistant for Calculus III, and a graduate teaching assistant for University Physics I and II. After earning a masters I worked as a physics teacher for an early college high school.

I am excited to begin my 6th year teaching high school physics! I like math and physics because I find it fascinating we are able to describe, measure, and predict the actions of the universe with math.

My teaching method uses Socratic questioning to probe students' current knowledge and help them build upon what they know. I also make an effort to teach with pictures and colors whenever possible.

I would be most comfortable meeting in a coffee shop or library, but I am open to suggestions. I would be happy to print or bring resources for our meeting as long as I know what subject and topic you're looking to study.

Approved Subjects

ACT Math

ACT Math

I have worked with several SAT and ACT students in the past three years at the math learning center I work at. I have found that taking SAT or ACT practice tests and focusing on weak topics in algebra and/or geometry helps students prepare for their exam.
Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I have tutored algebra I students for 3 years at a math tutoring center. My degree in physics gave me much experience working with several levels of math.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have been tutoring algebra II for the past four years at Mathnasium and I have tutored college algebra at Eastfield College.
Calculus

Calculus

I have tutored Calculus I, II, and III as a math tutor at Eastfield College and an undergraduate teaching assistant at University of Texas at Dallas. I frequently used calculus throughout courses from my major in physics.
Physics

Physics

I have a degree in physics and am certified to teach physics and chemistry. Last summer I taught a 6-week course in physics for the enrichment of middle and high school students in the Dallas Independent School District.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I have tutored precalculus students for 3 years at a math tutoring center. My degree in physics gave me much experience working with several levels of math, including precalculus.

STAAR

STAAR

In the past I have created learning plans and worksheets based on the math Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for third grade through algebra I. I have the students take a past STAAR test and tutor them in the specific TEKS that the missed questions relate to using online worksheets and past STAAR questions.

Tutor

She was great and patient, also very detailed with her explanation. She also involved me and made sure it was a participative interaction. She also was punctual and made sure to stop and see if I have questions
