...a variety of subjects, and worked at summer camps, and babysat. I've tutored 3rd graders at a local elementary school in reading comprehension and fluency, and I am a part of a program called "Bilingual United" where I tutor elementary kids in Spanish.

...composition problem. I have extensive experience in broad-scale tutoring, including but not limited to: thesis formation, essay structure, logical flow, and aesthetic flow. Small-scale tutor challenges also play to my strengths as I excel in word-choice and improving sentence dynamics. Apart from most tutors, I engage in a compassionate-style of tutoring, employing heavy focus on encouragement and reframing writing as a type of "play." Writing is an intimate expression of oneself and I look to...

...can be complicated, and it is not something you get right away. I believe with practice and skill one can be better able to understand it. I know this because I also grew up not liking Math but ironically ended up teaching it. I believe you need to be patient and understand the student's strengths and weakness in order to effectively teach Math to students. Relating Math to real life examples can make it more...

...to take a break from memorizing structures and pathways which is why I enjoy tutoring math! I have always loved math, and calculus was by far one of my favorite subjects in college. There is no better feeling than solving a complicated integral or finishing a page of calculations and getting the correct answer. I feel I am a great tutor because I have tutored many different students with different learning styles and different attitudes...

...tools and methods that worked well for me when learning content in school. I firmly believe that every student can succeed in a subject if they invest enough time into learning it and if the concepts are explained to them well. When I am working with a new student I try to figure out what kinds of explanations reach them the best and incorporate those into my lesson plans. I most enjoy students who are...

...you at school. We'll work together to develop goals and find a way for you to meet them. My passion is helping students gain a better understanding of how the natural world works, and to enable them to ask questions, find answers, and share their findings. I believe that science education can and often should be driven by hands-on learning, not rote memorization, and my teaching style is strongly influenced by the scientific method.

I believe in meeting learners where they are with their understanding and skill level. Teaching for me is about connecting new ideas to relatable experience. I understand motivation and mindset as being very important for learning.

...and reading, as well as elementary, middle, and high school science. I have taken and excelled in AP courses, college courses, and graduate level chemistry courses and hope to prepare students for similar success by explaining and reviewing material, introducing study and testing strategies, and getting at the "why" behind important concepts. Outside of science, I love music including singing, dancing, and instruments and enjoy crafts, learning Chinese, and doing crossword puzzles.

...world a better place. I currently work in green energy, specifically on developing technology for the decarbonization of mining and industrial equipment. I received bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Michigan, where I was a graduate student instructor and machine shop trainer. Despite my choice of studies, I have often been frustrated with own my math and science class experiences, and how often I see one bad class/teacher/experience ruin a student's self-confidence or...
