Award-Winning AP Physics 2 Tutors serving San Francisco-Bay Area, CA

I am from Chicago Illinois. Currently a first year medical student at the University of Illinois College of Medicine. I started to tutor from my sophomore year of college and I love it! I find it beautiful how the student and I both grow from learning. Learning should be a fun and interactive experience. I hope to help all those who seek it in the most interactive way :) Let's get started and crush this!

In high school and college I've joined clubs that emphasize tutoring and helping kids gain interest in science and math topics, ranging from elementary to high schoolers. It's been an experience I really enjoy and look to continue with going forward.

...my hometown of Chicago to get my Masters at Illinois Institute of Technology. I studied Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering with a focus in Thermal Science and Fluid Mechanics. I have a strong passion for the academic realm and believe only through a strong background in theory can you develop an excellent practical engineering ability. In my spare time I enjoy camping, hiking, and swimming. I also help out at my local Boy Scout troop. I...

...my peers did. This is why I left medical school in 2018 to pursue a M.S. in Applied Cognition and Neuroscience at UT Dallas. Since then, I have taught with Kaplan Test Prep as an MCAT Instructor for In-Person, Kaplan Partner Solutions Institutional Partnerships, and Live Online delivery modes. At Kaplan, my teaching style has matured incorporating elements of growth mindset and learning science with spaced repetition of relevant concepts all while meeting students where...

...activities, and worksheets to help my students learn the complex physics and error analysis concepts. In my second year, I was promoted to a Supervising TA position, in which I continued to teach while supervising and advising 5-6 other TAs teaching the same course. Beyond my university experience, I've worked as a math, science, test prep, and history tutor for over 1000 hours through various companies and independently. I excel in working with small groups...

...the problem area, I can explain it as clearly and as simply as possible. If the student doesn't "get" the explanation the first time, I am willing to spend as much time on the concept as the student needs. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano, making and playing video games, and spending time with my friends (often to discuss geeky subjects). If I sound like a good fit for you, or if you...

...competitions, in which I could explore my engineering interests, such as Science Olympiad and TEAMS. In high school, I primarily tutored in biology, physics, and mathematics. Tutoring was my way to gain teaching experience and give back to my school. In college, for similar reasons, I currently work as a TA in computer science. I also conduct glaucoma research in a clinical research lab. My tutoring approach is very methodical; I identify and isolate issues,...

...Atmospheric Science. I believe that learning is essential in the modern world and strive to help others become successful. In doing so, I also learn myself. I have had a passion in learning and teaching math to others since elementary school. I believe it's a highly applicable subject that everyone can learn if done in the right manner. In my free time, I love to weight lift, watch sports, play video games, and hang out...

...it is more applied and "hands on" than math. I enjoy being able to break problems down into fundamental principles and that is more fun to do with physics. Tutoring students is all about guiding them through the problem solving process. This is more about understanding than about remembering specific details. My approach also allows students to break the problem into smaller steps and solve it in a way that is easier for them. This...

...show my students the tangible relevance of what they are learning and the skills they develop along the way. During one semester, a student of mine could not attend my regular office hours, and I regularly worked with her on Friday afternoons to help her understands the sometimes difficult concepts of general chemistry. I didn't mind working with her outside of my normal hours because I love working with students who want to improve and...
