As an Environmental Science major currently conducting independent research during my gap year, I have found that students often struggle with math not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack context. My tutoring philosophy is simple: we don't just memorize formulas; we connect them to reality.

As an Environmental Science major currently conducting independent research during my gap year, I have found that students often struggle with math not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack context. My tutoring philosophy is simple: we don't just memorize formulas; we connect them to reality. When I teach Calculus I—specifically topics like derivatives or integration by parts—I use real-world examples from physics and nature to make the abstract numbers make sense.
I recently completed rigorous coursework in Calculus, Geology, and Environmental Science with a focus on numerical analysis using MATLAB. This background allows me to help students who are struggling with the transition from high school math to college-level application. I specialize in breaking down "scary" topics like rates of change, integrals, and scientific data analysis into manageable, logical steps.
Because I am currently on a gap year to focus on technical skill-building, I offer exceptional flexibility with scheduling. I am available for morning, afternoon, or evening sessions to work around your school or work schedule. Whether you need help prepping for a calculus exam or understanding the fundamentals of earth science, my goal is to get you to that "aha!" moment where the subject finally clicks.
