Julianne

Certified Tutor

I am a current student at Occidental College, and I am pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in Physics. I have previously tutored students in high school physics, coding in Python, high school mathematics (including geometry, algebra, and trigonometry), and the Mathematics portion of the SAT exam. I have also assisted my siblings (now ages 13, 7, and 4) with school homework and other academic enrichment activities. I am passionate about finding ways to make STEM subjects engaging for students with different levels of interest. The students that I have tutored have particularly enjoyed certain hands-on activities that have helped them gain a deeper understanding of the material, such as engaging with virtual simulations that illustrate important physical concepts and coding an interactive game that requires user input. I understand that different students learn differently and require different types of encouragement and support, and I would personalize my lessons to meet each student's needs. I believe that it is important to make learning STEM subjects fun, and I do my best to share my own enthusiasm for the subjects and highlight the many applications of these subjects with my students.
