I study geology at The University of Texas at Austin, where I hold a cumulative GPA of 3.8, and have a strong background in math and chemistry, including algebra, precalculus, calculus, and AP Chemistry, earning a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam. Throughout my coursework, I have developed a thorough understanding of the concepts and problem-solving approaches in these subjects.
I have tutored math and chemistry at the high school level, and assisted at a fine arts summer camp geared toward middle school students, where, in each case, breaking complicated ideas into manageable pieces was essential. I feel that much of my strength in tutoring comes from communication skills, which I have honed through activities of journalism in high school and, at the university level, writing for a student-produced journal aimed at communicating complex ideas through both artistic and analytical writing. These activities also gave me the opportunity to mentor younger writers through one-on-one peer editing.
My approach to tutoring focuses on helping students understand the reasoning behind each step rather than simply being told what to do. In math and chemistry especially, I guide students through problems by asking questions and breaking ideas into manageable pieces. I think of it as taking dense, intimidating course material and translating it into a way of thinking that makes sense to the student. That moment when something that once seemed confusing starts to make sense is what I aim to create for every student I work with.
