I currently work as an academic researcher, mentor, and teacher. I have taught multiple college level biology and science courses. Also, I have tutored middle and high school students in math and science. I truly enjoy working with students and I believe that everyone can understand math and science with the right instruction.

I am a german-born physicist. After my PhD at the University of Pittsburgh I spent almost 4 years doing cutting edge research at Argonne National Lab in Chicago, IL in theoretical particle physics. I love teaching, passing on knowledge and inspiring people to find their footing in math and physics!

...younger students I taught had their own way of picking up concepts. It was something I had to learn in the process. Generally, I feel like this made me a better student because when working in groups, we need to understand each others dynamic and how we take in information. Knowing this ultimately leads to...

...tutoring mainly deals with helping middle school and high school students work through mathematical concepts such as pre-calculus, geometry, and calculus. My teaching philosophy is that I try to provide as many different types of explanations necessary for a student to understand. Sometimes this means that I introduce logical proofs for why we do certain...

...Some of my favorite subjects to tutor are calculus and differential equations since they are the most applicable. I have been tutoring for the past 2.5 years college students, and I have developed a variety of techniques. My philosophy consists of visual learning, e.g. plots and drawings, and realistic work problems.

...St. Joseph. My undergraduate degree is in Economics from the University of Chicago, and I did a lot of statistics, too! I like having kids how to read, write, and do math. Because I loved doing those in school, and I'll be teaching that this up coming school year. To have a struggling reader all...

...students master subjects like Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus, SAT Math, and AP Physics. My tutoring philosophy is centered on building strong conceptual foundations and using visual learning techniques to make abstract material more intuitive. I adapt each session to the student's unique learning style, fostering both confidence and independent problem-solving skills. Outside of tutoring, I'm involved...

...over a decade. I believe that there are common themes that students posses that can impede their learning. A key element is self confidence in their ability to learn. I believe in building up a student's confidence as they learn a subject so they can retain the information and can apply it in real world...

...a group of middle school students from traditionally underserved backgrounds in Saint Paul, MN. I love interacting with students and seeing them grow over the course of their studies. I'm ecstatic at the opportunity to learn alongside them as we venture into educational rabbit holes and uncover key concepts about math, science, and everything else.

...venture I've pursued. I also learned how to deal with not being successful. Even the smartest people struggle in some areas/subjects, but what's important is developing the ability to admit when you don't know and seek help. Working one-on-one, whether with a teacher or mentor, has helped me turn a corner in multiple subjects over...

...Achievement Center in Chicago, I tutored middle school students for a year and high school students for two years to improve academic performance by setting semester-long and weekly academic goals, social-emotional learning goals, and improving study habits. Throughout the year, the students I tutored and I tracked progress and saw that students improved academic performance...

...at Penn State University. I focus on tutoring for math and software programming subjects from pre-algebra to calculus 3 and C++. It's very important to create a strong foundation to be able to continue learning more complex ideas or problems. This is why I focus on starting with learning and studying the simplest idea until...

...of Special Education at the University of St. Francis.

I have a strong background in social sciences and am skilled in Microsoft Office, Google Suite, public speaking, leadership, Junior High and Secondary Education, communication with...

...I find fulfillment in advancing comprehension of the English language. Reality is simply complex, so as a part of it we simply need to sometimes convey complex things. It's a skill you can develop for a lifetime and still not perfect, but I'd like to help you along a little if I can.

...and teaching and mentoring in general. I want most to help people to achieve their personal and professional goals, both in academics and in life. I enjoy meeting students at their level of understanding and building bridges to new concepts and skills in an accepting yet challenging environment. I also study and teach Nonviolent Communication,...

...School in Illinois and am currently studying Neuroscience at the University of Illinois Chicago. Although my favorite subject to tutor is Math, I am open to various levels of Biology, Chemistry, and English. I could also help with AP classes such as Calculus AB and BC, US Government, and AP Physics I.

My key to good teaching is simplicity. Also, a lot of guided practice, then, independent in the real world.

...examples that I work out. I also have several bookshelves of textbooks from various subjects, mainly physics and mathematics. Education should be geared to and for the student, however some institutions are not set up that way. Students are the next generation of scientists, engineers, doctors, lawyers, etc. I am a proponent for helping under...
