I am a knowledgeable, personable, and enthusiastic educator in the Math and Physics fields. While tutoring I employ humor as a tool to engage my students in the material.

My teaching and tutoring experience, as discussed shortly, is mostly with college students so I prefer working with adults and older high school students. While attainin... Read more

I have always wanted to teach, and have (unofficially) tutored friends since middle school. I have a knack for simplifying complex science so anyone can understand. Once a basic overview understanding is achieved, extra vocabulary and caveats are easy enough to add in. During my PhD, even my curious "non-science" friends had a basic understanding of my research project. As long as you have an interest and willingness to learn, I will do my best to make sure you understand. I have taught ot... Read more
