With a Master of Science in Physics and a post-graduate program in AIML using Python from the McCombs School of Business, I offer a rare blend of academic and real-world expertise to my students. I've applied my skills in orbital mechanics professionally for a company that collaborated with the aerospace giant Leidos. My expertise includes scientific computing and visualization programs like the R language and Tableau, as well as AI tools such as LLMs and ANNs. I am confident in my ability to teach students at all levels, from those just beginning to grasp the fundamentals to those tackling advanced graduate-level work.
My teaching experience includes serving as a Full-Time Non-Tenure track instructor at a university, where I taught and developed courses in Astronomy and Space Sciences focusing on Solar Physics, Orbital Mechanics, and Dynamics. My teaching approach is built on metacognition, helping students to think critically about their own learning processes. I have a proven track record of developing engaging labs using programs like Stellarium, UNL Astronomy ClassAction, and NAAP Labs. To enhance student comprehension, I design assessments that align with QM Quality Matters standards and address different levels of competency and growth, based on Bloom's Taxonomy. I am also proficient with LMS platforms like CANVAS, BlackBoard, and McGraw Hill Ed Connect.
Ultimately, my goal as a tutor is to empower students to think critically and independently. My extensive experience has shown me that every student learns differently, and I am adept at tailoring my instruction to meet individual needs. I am committed to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel comfortable exploring new ideas. I'm excited to bring my unique expertise to the Wyzant community and help students achieve their academic and personal goals.
