I am a sophomore at Rice University currently studying mechanical engineering. My hometown is McKinney, TX, which is a town north of Dallas. At my high school in McKinney, I was a drum major in my band program and helped tutor fellow band members with their classes. This tutoring ranged from help on the actual course material to test taking strategies. While I can tutor a wide range of topics, I really love to help others in physics, chemistry and math. I know firsthand how difficult and intimidating some of these subjects can be to students. While these subjects do tend to cause a great deal of frustration, there is also a great sense of satisfaction whenever the student finally understands it. I also know that every student sees these topics with a different perspective. Therefore, I try to relate the tough material to subjects in which the student feels more confident (for example, use more concepts to explain a topics in chemistry rather than strictly using math). In addition, I believe that it is important to practice many types of problems in order to ease the student’s doubts about solving questions in a test setting. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports with my friends and traveling with my family. I am a big supporter of Rice Athletics and I looking forward to having a successful semester at Rice!
