As a recent college graduate, I was motivated to study Physics because I find the fundamental nature of the physical world fascinating. In addition to my B.S. in Physics, I also minored in Religious Studies and this course of study has enabled me to understand and communicate with people from a variety of different backgrounds. When I wasn’t in class I spent nearly 3 years doing particle physics research for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, which I would work at in Geneva Switzerland during the summer. During my four years at college I have tutored students from a variety of different skill levels in several different physics courses, including Classical Mechanics, Optics, Electricity and Magnetism, and the Philosophy of Physics.

I enjoy tutoring because I find it rewarding to build relationships with students and observe their progress.

Furthermore, I make sure to praise my students for their hard work because I know that low confidence can inhibit successful learning.
I graduated cum laude from the University of California, Irvine with a BA in history and minors in biology and psychology. Earning a history degree required me to write several essays, including ... read more

I graduated in 1984 from CSUF with a Bachelor in Music Education and my emphasis was piano. I took piano lessons from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music as a child and progressed this into my college years. I tutored adults in piano while studing for my bachelors. I learned that I enjoyed teaching younger students in private lessons. After my degree, I moved back to San Francisco and began to teach young children in their homes. Life took a twist, I got married and moved to another state, had two children who are grown now. I loved to teach so I recieved my early childhood education credential and taught pre-k and even Kindergarten for many years.
I think children should be taught to respect eachother before beginning any type of curriculum and to practice safety habits as well as learn their surroundings then the teaching begins. I integrate the them across the curriculu ... read more
