Certified Tutor

I love empowering students to see their own limitless potential, and to help them build a working knowledge of a subject beyond rote memorization. I have tutored students all throughout high school and college, mostly in subjects related to math or physics. I received two undergraduate degrees in math and physics from the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), and am halfway through my master's degree in mathematics, also from UTD. I tutor almost any subject from high school and college math and physics, and also select courses in reading, writing, and English. I also may provide help in preparing for standardized testing. My favorite subjects to teach are undoubtedly math and physics, as I love building a beautiful framework from the ground up with a student, and watching all the pieces fall into place as their understanding solidifies. This is reflected in my teaching philosophy, in which I will try to find some base of knowledge a student already understands well, and build up from there to the desired result: I feel this gives the student a deeper understanding of a subject, so they may easily generalize their knowledge to future endeavors. Outside of academia, I love playing all types of games and a few musical instruments, as well as hanging out with my friends and family.
