Devon: Edmonton tutor

Certified Tutor

Since I can remember I have had a passion for learning math and science. Knowing I loved both math and science and needing a challenge, I made my way to the University of Tennessee where I chose to major in Nuclear Engineering, the most difficult sounding engineering specialty I could think of (whether it was actually the hardest is to be determined). While there I earned my B.S. and M.S. with honors, and completed the coursework for my Ph.D. I was awarded multiple fellowships and interned at several national laboratories. Tutoring experience from school and engineering experience from internships showed me that I preferred teaching math and science over being an engineer. Because of my background, I have a lot of experience navigating the numerous pathways leading from university, to graduate school, to the professional world.

My mission is to equip every student I tutor with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their STEM courses, no matter their age, socioeconomic background, or motivation level. I teach problem-solving techniques and study strategies through collaborative learning, step-by-step tutorials, and numerous examples. We will work together to find strategies that work for you and that you can confidently use on your own. I have formally tutored classmates, family, and paying clients, from high school all the way through graduate school and beyond. I tutor math and physics courses up to Calculus 3 and Modern Physics, as well as a variety of lower level engineering courses. I provide help on homework and tutoring for writing/editing research papers and lab reports.
