About Maxwell


Bio

Hi, I'm Maxwell! I earned a perfect ACT score and received A's in Calculus I-III, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and Physics I-II. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with a 4.0 GPA, and I will be an Electrical Engineering intern at Gulfstream Aerospace this January. I regularly help fellow classmates with homework and exam prep.

As a tutor, I ensure that students understand underlying concepts along with being able to solve difficult problems....

Hi, I'm Maxwell! I earned a perfect ACT score and received A's in Calculus I-III, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, and Physics I-II. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering with a 4.0 GPA, and I will be an Electrical Engineering intern at Gulfstream Aerospace this January. I regularly help fellow classmates with homework and exam prep.

As a tutor, I ensure that students understand underlying concepts along with being able to solve difficult problems. I routinely check students' understanding by using the Socratic method, where students explain concepts back to me. I also make complex problems more digestible with chunking, where I break the problems into clear, manageable steps. I guide students through these steps without handing them answers.

Before studying engineering, I completed a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance with a Concentration in Teaching Artistry at New England Conservatory on a full-tuition merit scholarship. Through that program, I gained several years of teaching experience working one-on-one with students ranging from age 11 to 60. I also learned to work under pressure through high-profile performances, including performing at the White House for Michelle Obama. Many of the strategies that enable stressful musical performances, such as chunking and effective, focused practice, also apply to success in math and physics.

I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals!

Calculus

Calculus

I regularly apply Calculus to engineering problem sets and physics problems.
Composition (Music)

Composition (Music)

I am a composer and violinist who holds a Bachelor of Music from the New England Conservatory of Music, where I studied on a full-tuition scholarship. I have had multiple premieres by ensembles such as Boston Landmarks Orchestra and NEC Chamber Orchestra, and I have also premiered my own works. I also have received paid commissions from Castle of Our Skins and the NEC Chamber Orchestra.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I earned an A+ in Differential Equations. While taking this class, I regularly helped out students during weekly recitations. I apply concepts from Differential Equations when solving problems for Circuits, Physics, and Signals and Systems.
Ear Training

Ear Training

I completed a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance at the New England Conservatory of Music. I completed 4 semesters of solfege classes with all A's. I regularly apply ear training when transcribing, composing, arranging, and interpreting music.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I study Electrical Engineering at the University of Cincinnati, where I maintain a 4.0 GPA. I regularly help out fellow students with difficult math problems. I also apply math concepts to solve circuits and physics problems.
GED

GED

I completed high school with an unweighted GPA of 3.98 and a weighted GPA of 5.2. I have maintained strong academics since then. I currently have a 4.0 GPA at the University of Cincinnati, where I am studying Electrical Engineering.
Geometry

Geometry

I regularly apply concepts from geometry such as interior angles and similar triangles when solving physics problems. I also use spatial reasoning for multi-variable calculus. I have also continued to strengthen my ability to write proofs through a proofs-based linear algebra course.
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I earned an A+ in Linear Algebra at Tufts University. I also regularly apply Linear Algebra when solving circuits and differential equations as an electrical engineering student at University of Cincinnati, where I have a 4.0 GPA. When I took Linear Algebra, I helped out my classmates with problems during recitations.
Music Theory

Music Theory

I have experience composing and arranging for professional and educational ensembles such as the New England Conservatory Chamber Orchestra and Boston Landmarks Orchestra. I regularly apply music theory from classical music along with jazz theory in my compositions and arrangements. I also apply music theory when learning and interpreting repertoire on the violin.
Physics

Physics

I received A's in Physics I and II (calculus-based). I apply my knowledge of Physics I and II to electrical engineering problem sets as well as real-world devices that I design and implement.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I regularly apply algebra concepts when doing advanced math such as Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. I also use algebra to solve circuits and physics problems. I help out fellow students with math problems frequently as an Electrical Engineering student.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I regularly use Precalculus when I apply Calculus, Linear Algebra, and Differential Equations to engineering problem sets.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I earned an 800 on the SAT Math section on my first try. I have continued to be strong in math since then, earning A+'s in Linear Algebra, Differential Equations, and Multivariable Calculus. I also regularly help out fellow students with math problems.
Trigonometry

Trigonometry

I regularly use Trigonometry in physics and engineering problems. For example, I use trigonometry to determine the x and y components of tension from a string at an angle with the horizontal or vertical.
Violin

Violin

I completed a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance with a Concentration in Teaching Artistry and Music Education at New England Conservatory, studying under world-renowned pedagogue Donald Weilerstein on a full-tuition merit scholarship. I played concertmaster for multiple orchestras and competed in the national Sphinx competition. I also gained experience with private teaching at Conservatory Lab Charter School.
