Bio

Hi! My name is Shelby, and I've been a tutor since 2015. I started by working at my university's Tutoring and Learning Center, where I worked with physics, math, chemistry, and astronomy students. I kept this job until I graduated in the Spring of 2018 with two Bachelor of Science degrees, one in Mathematics and one in Physics. After graduating, I moved on to online tutoring, which I have been doing ever since!

Hi! My name is Shelby, and I've been a tutor since 2015. I started by working at my university's Tutoring and Learning Center, where I worked with physics, math, chemistry, and astronomy students. I kept this job until I graduated in the Spring of 2018 with two Bachelor of Science degrees, one in Mathematics and one in Physics. After graduating, I moved on to online tutoring, which I have been doing ever since!

The bulk of my tutoring experience has been with math and physics students. I have worked with math students in Algebra; Trigonometry; Precalculus; Calculus I, II, and III; Differential Equations; and High School Integrated Mathematics. My physics students were taking classes like Algebra-Based General Physics, Calculus-Based General Physics, Statics, Dynamics, Modern Physics, and High School Physics.

Tutoring has been my passion since I first started working as a tutor for my university. At first I was nervous, because I started that job based on a recommendation from one of my professors, and I wasn't sure what I was getting into. But within a month of starting, I loved my job! I'm grateful to be able to share my knowledge and experience with students, and I truly enjoy the time I spend helping my students learn and grow. As much as I will miss them, my ultimate goal is to help my students improve to the point that they no longer need my guidance.

I have loved math as long as I can remember. However, that passion completely flared when I took AP Calculus my senior year of high school. I was amazed at the way math can model our world, and give us insight into the how's and why's of everything around us. I took as many math classes at university as I could, and I reached a point where I was able to get a separate B.S. in Mathematics, along side my main degree in Physics. I have 6 years of tutoring experience, and I'd estimate that about 60% of that time was spent working with math students of all levels. I'm always grateful to have the opportunity to share the subject I love with others!

Physics

I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Physics, and I spent 3 years of my undergraduate studies working as a tutor for my university. I graduated in the Spring of 2018, and I have been a full time online tutor since then! I have thousands of tutoring sessions under my belt, and I enjoy to share my knowledge with others. Physics is a difficult subject; but I've come to love it, and I hope to share my passion with my students!

Excellent tutor!

Shelby went through every practice problem I was confused about in thorough detail, and did a great job of explaining the overarching concepts that confused me. She gave really clear explanations, and came to the session prepared to discuss the materials I sent beforehand. I feel a lot better about my upcoming test.

So helpful!!

Shelby has an incredible ability to explain things very clearly, including the most complicated problems. My daughter is taking algebra to and struggle to understand some of the problems. Shelby solved them effortlessly and was able to help my daughter master the concepts. So thrilled we found her!

Sandy, 23 lessons with Shelby

Experienced tutor

Patient and experienced tutor. She Made sure my son understood the solution before moving on to the next question. Simplified and explained the topic well. She was well prepared for the lesson and didn’t waste any time.

Amira, 1 lesson with Shelby

Super helpful

I reached out to Shelby for some help related to Physics and she understood the material so well, and broke the material down so easily. I felt so much more confident working on kinematic equations after having her help. Will definitely work with her again.
