Bio

I am a Physics B.A. and general science enthusiast. I want to help you succeed in your courses while showing you all the uses of math and physics through plenty of hands-on examples and applications.

I started tutoring others when I was in high school, and one-on-one teaching remains a passion and skill of mine. I teach through concise, clear examples in order to guide you to figure out the right answer on your own and make the material feel intuitive, with a lot of back-and-forth. I also understand the struggle of getting through dense material and I am a patient and understanding teacher.

Subjects

University Tutoring

Mathematics

1st Year - 3rd Year

As a physics major, I have had experience in college-level calculus, abstract algebra, number theory, probability, and statistics. I am qualified and enthusiastic about breaking down and getting the fundamental ideas across on these subjects.

Physics

1st Year - 4th Year

I completed an honors thesis in Physics along with my degree and have taken all the higher level courses offered at my college. I am willing to help with E+M, Classical Mechanics, Special Relativity, Quantum Mechanics...you name it. I am passionate about helping you improve!

School Tutoring

Math

1st Grade - 12th Grade

I have experience helping students with math dating back to my time in high school. I can teach algebra, pre-calculus, calculus, and trigonometry. As a physics B.A., I place an emphasis on word problems and real-world applications of math.

Physics

1st Grade - 12th Grade

I am a graduate of AP Physics in high school and both majored in and completed a thesis in Physics in college, so I know both about what it takes to succeed in high school physics and how to translate that to success in college. I particularly passionate about classical mechanics.

Trigonometry

1st Grade - 12th Grade

As a Physics B.A., I have used trigonometry in my studies ever since I first learned it. I place an emphasis in my teaching on concrete examples and fun applications of trig.

Calculus

1st Grade - 12th Grade

As a Physics B.A. and an AP Calculus veteran, I have used calculus ever since I first learned it. I am passionate about both helping train you in the fundamentals of integration and taking derivatives and give you a taste of the many real-world applications of calculus.
