Una: Highlands tutor

Certified Tutor

I've been a STEM educator for over three years, both as a private math tutor and as a science museum educator. I graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University's Honors College in 2019, where I double majored in Economics and Religious Studies. Even though I studied social sciences, I spent most of childhood as an avid "STEM kid" and still consider myself a total math and science nerd.

I enjoy the challenge of making math more enjoyable and less stressful for my students. I like working with younger students because I know having a strong foundation in elementary math and algebra is crucial for later academic success, but I enjoy strengthening core math skills for anybody who needs the support. I believe education should be as playful, comfortable, and shame-free as possible, so I'm a great match for students who are anxious, unmotivated, or embarrassed about their academic performance.

I competed in Science Olympiad in middle and high school, and have previously coached a middle school student for Math Olympiad. I enjoy helping with extracurricular activities and other forms of academic enrichment, so let me know if that's something you're interested in!
