Hello! I earned my Bachelor's degree in Physics with a minor in Mathematics from the Missouri University of Science and Technology. During my time in college, I tutored students in both physics and writing.
When it comes to math and physics tutoring, my approach is rooted in clarity. I believe in breaking down each step of a problem and avoid making assumptions about a student's existing knowledge. Whether that means revisiting an algebraic technique from 8th grade or tackling advanced concepts, I strive to de-mystify these subjects and create a stress-free learning environment. Anyone can learn math and physics - it just takes practice!
As a physics tutor, my primary focus centered on calculus-based introductory physics courses, specifically Physics 1 and Physics 2. I managed a classroom of 10-20 students and worked directly with both individuals and small groups that needed help. I also conducted exam review sessions throughout the semester. Beyond assisting students with problem sets, I emphasize developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Practicing these skills early gives students a great foundation for the rest of their career!
As a writing tutor, I was heavily involved in my university's on-campus writing center, where I held personalized, one-on-one appointments with students from diverse academic backgrounds. My proficiencies lie in essay construction, technical writing (e.g., lab reports), personal statements, application materials, and grammar. I love the writing process and can offer support at every stage, whether it be brainstorming, organizing ideas, drafting, or proofreading.
Ultimately, I want to create a positive and effective learning environment for students of all skill levels. I understand that these subjects can be intimidating, and I promise to be patient and kind as we work through them together. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!
