Hello, I'm Jade (she/her)! I'm an experienced Physics and Chemistry tutor for College and AP level Chem/Phys Subjects. I also specialize in tutoring neurodivergent students, ensuring that the highest levels of learning are available to everyone; sometimes we just need a little tailored help! I received my A.B. in Chemistry and Physics from Harvard, and have over 350 hours of tutoring experience with a leading premium tutoring service with a 4.9 star rating, at time of writing.

I take pride in tailoring instruction to each student's individual needs, finding the explanations and analogies that 'click' for each student. I specialize in helping neurodivergent students, with conditions including ADHD, Dyslexia, LDs, and OCD. I personally know how hard it can be to learn with these challenges- I am able and eager to adapt my teaching style to best suit your individual needs. I also have extensive experience working with LGBTQ+ students; as a proud transgender woman, I always endeavor to provide a welcoming and affirming learning environment for all.

Over the course of my studies, I have worked in a variety of laboratories, ranging from biophysics to quantum chemistry, both at US and Japanese universities.
I teach a broad variety of subjects at the College and AP levels, readily adapting to each student's individual course contents and needs.

In the past year, I have taught the following, for both Algebra- and Calculus-based courses:

Introductory Physics, Physical Sciences, Classical Mechanics, Special Relativity, Electricity and Magnetism, Waves and Optics, Thermodynamics, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, AP Physics 1, 2, C
General Chemistry, AP Chemistry

If you do not see your subject listed above, please send me a message! I have extensive training in subjects beyond these, and would be excited to guide you through them.
If you think that my tutoring might help, let's discuss how I can meet your needs- I look forward to working with you!

ADHD

ADHD

Although my training is formally in Chemistry and Physics, I have moved through mental health spheres for years as I personally struggled with and began to overcome my own OCD, ADHD, and Depression. This has given me great insight into the challenges of learning with ADHD, and has additionally made me very literate in matters of mental health and able to readily adapt to students' individual needs. I have worked with a number of students with challenges ranging from ADHD to Dyslexia, and have helped them not only improve their grades in Physics and Chemistry courses, but also develop tools for future study and methods of understanding/review that work well for them.
Calculus

Calculus

I have a great deal of experience teaching Calculus in the context of applied Physics and engineering courses. My education and training has primarily been in pure and applied Physics and Chemistry, which use a great deal of Calculus and related fields, from straightforward trigonometry and derivatives all the way to complex derivation of formulae using multidimensional integration, differential equations, and linear algebra. This has given me a great deal of facility with Calculus as used in science-- many of my Calculus students have found this unique perspective helpful for learning not only enough Calculus to ace their exams, but additionally what topics and techniques will re-emerge in their future Engineering, Physics, and Chemistry classes. This has set them up for a great deal of success going forward!
Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering

I graduated Harvard University with an A.B. in Chemistry and Physics, with a joint focus in physics topics such as Statistical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics, as well as chemical topics like Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. This grounding in both the pure and applied aspects of both Chemistry and Physics enables me to help students draw connections between difficult and abstract Engineering concepts (especially in Thermodynamics). Additionally, I have extensive experience in a variety of laboratory settings across fields, which I have used to help make connections with students' practical Engineering experience, to facilitate learning. I have tutored a number of engineering students in Mechanics and Thermodynamics online using these techniques, to great success. I was particularly able to help students apply insights gained from the derivation of physical laws (as opposed to rote memorization), which brought many from a failing course grade to passing.
Chemistry

Chemistry

My education and training has primarily been in pure and applied Physics and Chemistry, extending to Statistical Mechanics, Quantum Mechanics, Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. I additionally have extensive experience in a variety of laboratory settings across fields, rendering me able to communicate effectively between disciplines and make connections across fields. I also have experience teaching a number of engineering students in Mechanics and Thermodynamics, using my pure and applied Physics training to provide perspectives not provided in most engineering classrooms (especially insights gained from the derivation of physical laws, as opposed to rote memorization).

This grounding in both the pure and applied aspects of Chemistry and Physics enables me to help students draw connections between difficult and abstract Engineering concepts (especially in Thermodynamics). Additionally, I have extensive experience in a variety of laboratory settings across fields, which I have used to help make connections with students' practical Engineering experience, to facilitate learning. I have tutored a number of engineering students in Mechanics (Statics, Dynamics, Strengths of Materials, etc), Electricity&Magnetism, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, and more online using these techniques, to great success. I am particularly able to help students apply insights gained from the derivation of physical laws (as opposed to rote memorization), a perspective not offered in most engineering courses, and which brought many from a failing course grade to passing.

Absolutely fantastic educator

I’m a college student at an Ivy League school where the physics sequence is notoriously difficult. I was scrambling to find the right tutor and after trying out a few tutors, I had the opportunity to work with Jade. I was getting incredibly anxious about my class because I couldn’t find a tutor who was working for me, but the moment I started working with Jade, my anxiety immediately calmed down. In within 2 sessions, Jade helped me understand what I was struggling to grasp for nearly 2 months. She is incredibly intuitive with her teaching style, she’s very patient, and from the moment you start working with her, it’s clear that she really does know what she’s talking about and that she’s gifted with teaching physics. I could not recommend Jade more to other physics students, and without a doubt, I’m going to continue working with her.

Excellent tutor!

Jade is not only an expert in Physics Mechanics and Electricity and Magnetism, she also explains the topic well. From the first day, she gave my daughter the materials that would support her in her understanding of the topics. She was flexible with scheduling and moving sessions around. My daughter did well in her AP Physics classes and exams. thank you for all your help, Jade!
