Astrophysicist primarily tutoring astronomy and physics

Emily K.

I'm an astrophysicist with a passion for teaching. I received my bachelor's of science in Applied Physics and Aerospace Science and my Master's in Astronomy from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I am currently a defending PhD student in astronomy/astrophysics at Jagiellonian University in Krakow Poland. I embarked on my doctorate after completed a Fulbright research fellowship at the same university. I have a passion for STEM and teaching. Most of my experience lies in astronomy, math and physics, with the majority of my research relying heavily on Python programming. I also have experience teaching grades Kindergarten through high school as part of my work for a local science museum during my studies. I'm looking forward to helping you!

I have worked as an astronomy and physics tutor exclusively for the past two years working with many students to improve their understanding. I have experience as a teaching assistant and a lecturer from the undergraduate to doctoral levels as well as did significant outreach for increasing local STEM literacy.

As part of my work I have spent extensive time public speaking. Working with not only the Fulbright organization but Women in STEM in Warsaw. As well, I have and continue to give lectures and invited talks about my work, working in research, grant applications, and more.

I have been working with python for 8 years and am primarily geared towards data analysis and creation.

I have been dancing ballroom, swing, blue, and Latin dances for 7 years in the US and Europe.
