Experience Summary
I've been tutoring since graduate school, and I've been teaching professionally for six years. I have extensive experience in tutoring math and science, as well as standardized tests. I've helped hundreds of students achieve their goals in an accessible and fun way.
SAT: 1490 ACT: 32 GRE: 1510 Advanced Placement Courses: Calculus BC, English (Lit and Language), Statistics, Economics (Micro and Macro), History (American, European, World), Physics B, Psychology. 5s in 9 of 11 exams; 4s in 2 of 11 Extensive experience tutoring in mathematics and science on all levels, from elementary school to advanced college courses. I have worked with students on subjects including basic math, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus, physics, chemistry (general and organic), biology, statistics, and ACT/SAT prep (all sections).
Teaching Style
I aim to create an environment where learning is enjoyable, relaxed, and efficient. Previous and current students benefit extensively from my patience, knowledge, encouragement, and experience. I enjoy working with students, helping them to do their best, and seeing them succeed. All students learn differently, and I emphasize multiple ways of approaching problems to tailor tutoring to each individual student. I make myself fully available for students, both in and out of tutoring sessions. If a student has a question, no matter how big or small, I'm always willing to answer an email, phone call, or text message to help. I am also available for online tutoring.
My Hobbies
Besides my love for science and mathematics, I really enjoy fitness, especially distance running and marathons. I also love arts and crafting, and I try to spend some of my free time working on my creativity. Even though I come from a small, rural town, I like to travel to big cities when I have time.
