About Emily


Bio

Hello! I moved to Philadelphia about three year ago after double majoring in math and physics at Houghton College. Throughout my time here, I have tutored to supplement my income.

I've been tutoring for many years now; during high school I mostly taught piano and then in college I worked as a teacher's assistant as well as working with students on an individual basis.

I love teaching, especially in smaller group settings where I can get to know students individually. I hope to help...

Hello! I moved to Philadelphia about three year ago after double majoring in math and physics at Houghton College. Throughout my time here, I have tutored to supplement my income.

I've been tutoring for many years now; during high school I mostly taught piano and then in college I worked as a teacher's assistant as well as working with students on an individual basis.

I love teaching, especially in smaller group settings where I can get to know students individually. I hope to help students not only develop understanding of the material, but also a love for learning new concepts and ideas.

I have played piano for 13 years, taught private lessons for about 7 years, and achieved a contract music minor in an excellent music program. I also enjoyed writing music for piano.

Please do not hesitate to ask me questions about ways I might be able to help you. I would love to hear about your needs to see if I think I would make a good fit. If I know that I am not a suitable match, I will not hesitate to let you know.

Travel policy: I get around Philadelphia by bicycle and public transport. By bicycle, I am happy to travel about two miles from 19121, or about four miles by a direct public transportation route. If you are unable to meet within that area, I would be happy to still try and work something out, understanding that meeting elsewhere will require additional compensation.

Explains the subject matter thoroughly

My son said that Emily explained things in a very clear and patient manner. It was only his first session, but he feels confident it is going to help him immensely.

Great teacher.

One of the best teachers that I've ever seen. She really helped me a lot with physics and calculus. Emily is really helpful, and cheerful. She is patient with students that speak English as a second language and tries her best to understand you. She gives a lot of examples and she is a great at drawing diagrams to make sure you get the big picture.

Ahmed, 7 lessons with Emily

Amazing tutor

Emily helped me with solving some physics problems. She is very knowledgeable and explained the problems step by step which was very helpful. She also drew diagrams and made sure I understood why and how we did each step. She is very friendly and I would recommend her to anyone that needs help with physics.

Great tutor

Emily is a reliable, patient and kind tutor. She is very good at explaining difficult concepts and will work with you through the specific mathematics that apply to physics problems that you might not have thought about since high school! I would say she's a great resource for anyone who is struggling in Physics or Math. And she's a kind hearted person who truly takes interest in your learning and succeeding. I'm so glad I met her!
