I have a PhD in materials science/mechanical engineering as well as degrees in chemical engineering & mathematics, and love helping people understand these (and related) subjects. I've done mostly peer-to-peer tutoring and mentorship in the last 7-9 years at the college level. I prefer to take on general STEM coursework (intro chemistry, physics, mathematics, etc.) with a tilt toward advanced/late high school and college level, but am also open to middle-school/early high school material. ...
I have a PhD in materials science/mechanical engineering as well as degrees in chemical engineering & mathematics, and love helping people understand these (and related) subjects. I've done mostly peer-to-peer tutoring and mentorship in the last 7-9 years at the college level. I prefer to take on general STEM coursework (intro chemistry, physics, mathematics, etc.) with a tilt toward advanced/late high school and college level, but am also open to middle-school/early high school material. More advanced subjects like thermodynamics, kinetics, materials science, polymers, differential equations, and similar are all fair game (as well as any prerequisites).
Generally, my philosophy and approach is Socratic. Conversational tutoring/mentorship has historically been the most effective for me both as a tutee and according to feedback. My guiding principle is that teaching is a mutual learning experience rather than a one-sided exposition. This makes my lesson structures more hands on/interdisciplinary with 'storylines' rather than purely theoretical, so if this sounds like a good fit don't hesitate to reach out.
I am able to teach toward standardized tests but do not prefer to.
