...16 undergraduates for three semesters. I have a great passion for science and math and truly enjoy helping students understand and master their material. My wide ranges of experiences have taught me that every student is unique and learns differently, for this reason I approach every session enthusiastically and with an open mind.

...tutor is that I'm not so far removed from playing the role a student myself, and I remember the struggle of encountering tough material for the very first time. I like to keep that perspective in mind when I meet with students; my tutoring style is focused on building up from strong foundational principles, rather than drilling material into one ear so it can spill out the other. I'm striving to reach that "aha" moment,...

In my spare time, I also like hiking, mountain climbing, table tennis, running, reading, Ethiopian and Thai restaurants, and...

I love to see students explore their limits, to challenge them to achieve beyond their expectations, and to imagine and create new expressions.

I am an adjunct professor for undergraduates and masters students, so I know what college professors expect in a paper. I am also available to help you prepare for standardized tests, including the GED, SAT, and GRE. When I'm not involved in academic work, I enjoy being active: running,...

...observed, and the difference I was making seemed to have a real impact. This opportunity prompted me to continue tutoring. My experience working in a high school showed me how different each student’s ability in any given area can be. The understanding that each student learns differently and therefore requires a different approach was an important lesson that I learned through my time tutoring in Springfield. I believe that any help in a student’s studies...
