Award-Winning Physics Tutors in Reading, PA

...both a Math Course Assistant and as an SAT Math Tutor. In addition to working with students, I'm also currently conducting Applied Math Research for the National Science Foundation at Pennsylvania State University. During my years of High School, I was running for my Cross Country team and was digging for my State Champion Volleyball...

My background is in engineering, and as such, I am very strong in math. I have also tutored for 3 years in SAT prep.... My teaching philosophy is basic. I want to ensure that the student understands the basics. Problem solving is simply breaking a problem down into solvable pieces. The portfolio of basics that the student has mastered will enable a more efficient, effective problem solution. As a nuclear engineer and also as a petroleum engineer, I have been able to solve some complex problems. I attribute most of my problem-solving capability to an understanding of the basics in those disciplines.

...some time off from my studies to learn the ins and outs of the biomedical industry by working a Co-op in pharmaceutical engineering. While I have held several tutoring positions, my favorite experience was when I designed an interactive obstacle course demonstrating the functions of the adaptive immune system as part of the Pitt Tissue...

...to learning. I am dedicated to finding the key that unlocks a person's potential. I attended the Peabody Institute of Johns Hopkins University where I completed a Bachelor of Music Education and Saxophone Performance in 2000. After several years of military service and teaching, I completed a Master of Science in Anatomy and Clinical Health...

...ideas through it, which can be a very difficult task. I enjoy teaching others math and physics through techniques which I believe are simple and straightforward and also supply a vast amount of examples through past homeworks and exams that I have accumulated over the years. I have had a lot of success with my...

...have some years of experience in the service industry, and I like to think I'm good at getting people to come out of their shells. If you're looking to boost an SAT score, increase confidence with tricky poetry reading, become environmentally literate, or balance an equation, I may just be your girl!... In a low pressure setting, more like a conversation than an interview, I ask them to explain or demonstrate concepts to me the best they can. We can move forward from where we are.

...for the Biology Department at my university. I ran weekly tutorial sessions for students taking Genetics. Then, after my junior year of college, I also began working for the Physics Department as an exam proctor and weekly quiz grader for the General Physics I & II courses. I was also available for tutoring for students...

...and the chemistry behind it to the class. Projects have ranged from gummi bears in potassium nitrate (where they have to explain oxidizing agents and how they work) to testing the effectiveness of antacids using titration. My physics students must pick a chapter from the book and teach it to the rest of the class,...

I really love to learn and have been a life long student. I look forward to sharing my enthusiasm with others. ... Learn by doing, rather than watching. For math and physics, that means working example problems together with the instructor, and then later by yourself.... Review their homework and tests that they have completed to date in the class. Also interview the student on where they think they are having challenges. If needed, I may also do a short assessment test, either oral or written.

...goals flawlessly. Through my lectures, not only will I help you understand the concepts you are having trouble with, you will be able to fully understand the logic behind it. With that wisdom, you will be able to accomplish more than you had thought. I also like have fun with my teachings as well so...
