Experience Summary
I have worked as a math and physics tutor for several years at the high school and undergraduate university levels. My past experience has been primarily in introductory physics courses and upper-level high school math including trigonometry and calculus, but I am excited at the possibility of tutoring at any level. I was a President's Scholar at Georgia Tech from 2004 through 2008, and I recently completed master's degrees in physics and medical physics at the University of Pennsylvania. I am looking for summer tutoring positions before I begin a doctoral program at the University of Chicago this fall. All levels of instruction are welcome!
Teaching Style
I believe every student has the ability to learn any subject matter, however difficult it may seem. Effective instruction is strongly linked to effective communication of material, in a way that each student can understand personally. I strongly believe that every student achieves their best when they feel comfortable with their instructor and as a member of a problem-solving team. I will work hard with each student to communicate important points in a way that not only seems comprehensible, but also inspires interest. My goal is to work with each student as a student myself, discovering how they learn best and how best to use our time.
