Bio

Hello, I'm Robyn! I am a former Wesleyan University professor in design & engineering and more recently a project manager at Columbia Medical School. I earned my PhD and MS from UC San Diego and earned my BS from Columbia University.

I truly enjoy working with students to help them realize their best! I deeply value the input of the students I work with because I think every student brings something unique and valuable to the table. So, I always make a point to get to know students...

Hello, I'm Robyn! I am a former Wesleyan University professor in design & engineering and more recently a project manager at Columbia Medical School. I earned my PhD and MS from UC San Diego and earned my BS from Columbia University.

I truly enjoy working with students to help them realize their best! I deeply value the input of the students I work with because I think every student brings something unique and valuable to the table. So, I always make a point to get to know students personally, meet them where they are, highlight their strengths to help them find success and gain confidence, and help them enjoy the learning process.

I have over ten years of experience advising high school, undergraduate, and graduate students on their educational and career journeys. This has included being a faculty advisor to undergraduates at Wesleyan University, a graduate advisor for the UC San Diego Summer Training Academy for Research Success, and an alumni mentor for the Sloan Scholars Fellowship Program. I have helped students successfully navigate the complexities of the higher education system, make informed decisions on their own educational paths, and set and reach both short- and long-term goals. Many students I've worked with have gone on to their top choices in undergraduate and graduate programs, received competitive scholarships/fellowships, and otherwise achieved their educational goals.

I am well prepared to help students at every stage of their academic career across a wide range of topics. I have 6 years experience teaching undergraduate and graduate students, and 5 years experience teaching 4th-12th grade students. I also have over 250 hours of experience providing individual tutoring in elementary school mathematics and writing; middle school pre-algebra, reading, and language arts; high school algebra, geometry, chemistry, and physics; SAT exam preparation; and college chemistry, calculus, and engineering.

Please reach out with any questions or if you think I may be a good fit!

Very patient and flexible

She's the only person who's been able to help my daughter with algebra. My daughter absolutely loves being tutored by Robyn, and she's much more confident in her math class. Robyn is also very flexible. When I had our times mixed up, Robin was there in 15 minutes to help her.
