Experience Summary
I have been a serious student of math and physics now for the past three and a half years. I am in my senior year at the University of Utah (U) where I am finishing up degrees in mathematics and physics. I am currently doing research in condensed matter physics, specifically magnetic resonance experiments. I have tutored students in the past in areas such as algebra, trigonometry, calculus and physics. I feel very comfortable in the areas of algebra, trigonometry, calculus, ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, introductory analysis, classical mechanics, electrodynamics and introductory quantum mechanics.
Teaching Style
Math and science have been a passion of mine for a long time now. The two most common complaints I have heard about mathematics is “I am just not good at math” and “you don‘t use it in real life”. It is the responsibility of the teacher to understand how the student learns and how to cater to their learning style. I am very patient and know how to explain the same concept in SEVERAL different ways so that I, the tutor, can communicate the “idea” to you, the student, in the correct learning style that is NECESSARY to your understanding of the subject. I have yet to run out of ways of explaining a subject to ANY of the students I have tutored before hearing that “ooh!” sound.
