Marvin

Certified Tutor

I have tutored students for 5+ years (since my final year of high school). I have extensive experience working with elementary, middle, and high school students. In the last 2 years, I have begun to work with first- and second-year undergraduate students.

Mentorship and pedagogy were crucial to my success as a student. My ability to perform in my academic environment went hand in hand with my ability to be self-sufficient and think critically about the issues at hand. Through tech-based, visual and written tools, I aim to teach students to draw on many resources to answer any question they have, not just those at hand.

I graduated from Hamilton College in May of 2023 with a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and Geosciences (double major). My academic interests include the physical sciences, mathematics (especially algebra and calculus), and space/earth/environmental science.

Outside of academic, I like to play competitive online video games (LoL, Overwatch) as well as single-player management/multiplayer sandbox games (Astroneer, Space Engineers). I also am learning to garden and create pottery from scratch. I will be pursuing a graduate degree in a related physics/geosciences field within the next year or two.

I look forward to working with you! Reach out with any questions about my teaching style and/or if you are curious if I tutor a specific subject that is not listed on my profile. :)
