Math, science, and test prep tutor fresh out of Stanford

Striving for an top-notch test score, or mastering math and physics classes, can be daunting and frustrating. Sometimes a teacher doesn’t explain the material well, or abstract concepts don’t quite click. That’s why I bring patience and a positive attitude to my tutoring. I use a technique of offering multiple explanations for each concept, rooting my explanations in content the student already understands. I like to build a rapport with students in early lessons by learning their interests a... Read more

Writing Support: All Ages & Kinds, Specialty Application Essays

Writing is a practice. Like riding a bike, the more you do it the better you get. I help clients sharpen their ability to discern what is useful and what can be discarded. The result of patience and refinement is skill—the increased ability to hear, see and edit one’s own work, so goals can be met with minimal anxiety and maximum efficiency. I offer writing support for research, theses, job application letters, essays, fiction and nonfiction book projects, creative writing, poetry, and on... Read more

After practice with some example problems, I have the student attempt t... Read more
