Math and Science Tutor

Ashley C.

I am an undergraduate student at University of Maryland College Park, majoring in computer engineering with minors in data science and cybersecurity. In addition in tutoring math and science, I am open to tutoring AP Computer Science Principles and AP Computer Science A. I have experience teaching AP Computer Science Principles and received a 5 on both courses.

I have over two years of tutoring experience working primarily one on one with middle school and high school students both in person and online. I tutor subjects including algebra, geometry, pre-calculus, physics, chemistry and programming languages such as java. I have helped and aim to help students improve their grades and overall understanding of challenging topics; In addition, I have also volunteered assisting a kindergarten classroom. This has helped me develop patience, adaptability, and the ability to explain concepts to students at different levels.

My tutoring approach begins by identifying what topics the students are currently working on and what misunderstanding may be occurring. Depending on situation. I may revisit foundational concepts to ensure that basics are fully understood before moving forward. In other cases, we focus on specific problems the students is struggling with and work though example questions together. Once the student demonstrates understanding, I reinforce the material through additional practice and short quizzes to assess comprehension and determine whether we are ready to move on or need to spend more time on certain areas. My goal is to help students build confidence, develop strong fundamentals and become ready for their goal.
