Hello! I am an experienced professional in mathematics, physics, and engineering studies. I hold an M.S. in Aeronautical & Astronautical Engineering from the University of Washington and a B.S. in Astronomy & Physics with a minor in mathematics from Texas Christian University. I have been tutoring students for ten years now, spanning from high school-level math to undergraduate-level math and physics to graduate-level engineering.
I have worked with a wide array of students, from high schoolers just trying to get by and graduate on time, to undergrads and grad students looking to excel in their courses and build their careers. Some of my students have gone on to become master electricians and some to become PhD candidates in Quantum Physics. I have held sessions in classroom-like settings for thermal physics, or conducted one-on-one in-person study sessions, and have also held meetings over Zoom. My focus is on meeting the student where they are in their educational journey, and I do this by getting to know them to contextualize their struggles as well as their goals. Every student learns differently, and I pride myself on adapting to my students to help them master their subjects.
I also have experience working with students who have learning differences, which has pushed me to become more adaptable and patient in how I communicate complex ideas. In one particular case, a student who had previously failed high school geometry the year before was having to re-take it in their senior year and was dangerously close to failing again and delaying graduation. I stepped in halfway through the semester at the request of their mother, and starting from the beginning, we were able to build a strong foundation in the principles of geometry and grow from there. This student went on to comfortably pass the class and graduate on-time! This has shaped my teaching style into one that is flexible, intuitive, and focused on long-term understanding rather than short-term memorization.
