Kara: Sammamish tutor

Certified Tutor

I am a graduate of Florida Polytechnic University, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Nanotechnology. Since graduation, I've worked as a biomedical engineer designing and developing medical devices aimed at improving access to patients who need EEG's/brain scans. Alongside my engineering career, I've also remained committed to education, tutoring students of all ages from elementary school learners to adult college students in a wide range of STEM subjects.

Over the years, I've taught math, science, and engineering topics, coached robotics leagues, and led CAD design workshops. No matter the course, exam or age range, I enjoy making complex concepts approachable and applicable to real-world situations to help those I tutor become more confident in their abilities and skills! I especially enjoy working with students on problem-solving strategies, technical thinking, and hands-on learning.

I believe that education is one of the most empowering tools we can offer, and I strive to share that passion with every student I work with!
