Efficient STEM Tutor - teaching since 2008

Eli T.

I have a passion for teaching, and I love helping students understand the usefulness of science and math concepts! I have been finding ways to share knowledge in every career path I’ve walked so far: tutoring fellow linguists to help improve their fluency in Persian Farsi, volunteering with Living Classrooms to teach science concepts to kids in Baltimore, as a TA for general chemistry at UMBC. Ever since I learned a foreign language in a 47 week course at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, I’ve also been fascinated with learning EFFICIENTLY. I focus on making use of minimalist concepts to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth for my help. I can help you gain a deep understanding of concepts in general, organic, and bio chemistry in no time!

I have a BA in Chemistry, a BS in Environmental Science, and an AA in Persian Farsi. I assisted other service members in the USAF in maintaining and improving their language fluency by creating lesson plans and organizing study sessions. From 2013-2015 I volunteered with Living Classrooms in Baltimore, MD to teach science concepts to grades 3-8 in an after-school program called BUGS. In my time at UMBC I was a TA for CHEM101. I have worked with a range of skill levels and learning styles and can be patient and flexible in helping you achieve your learning goals.

I really enjoyed my experience at UMBC and was top of my class for chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and ecology. My focus in Environmental Science was ecology and remediation, and I had the opportunity to work on some amazing research at the Swan lab. I have always had a deep interest in science, and am excited to help you to excel in you STEM course work!
