Brooke: Downey tutor

Certified Tutor

I'm currently pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering with a minor in Mathematics at Bucknell University, where I've earned Dean's List recognition for my academic performance every semester thus far. Through my coursework and hands-on projects, I've developed a deep appreciation for how math drives innovation, design, and problem-solving in the real world. This practical understanding shapes the way I tutor. I aim to make math not only understandable, but meaningful for every student.

My passion for helping others grew through leadership and mentoring roles, especially as a Fusion Mentor where I supported underclassmen academically and personally. These experiences helped me develop the communication and empathy needed to support students through academic challenges. I tutor math concepts ranging from foundational elementary and middle school skills to advanced topics, including calculus.

As an engineering student, I know that mastering math takes more than memorizing formulas; it requires practice, patience, and a growth mindset. My tutoring style is supportive and goal-oriented. I tailor each session to the individual student's needs, focusing on reinforcing understanding, encouraging curiosity, and developing problem-solving strategies that stick.

Outside of academics, I enjoy staying active through fitness, spending time outdoors, and reading. These interests help me maintain balance and bring me energy and focus.
