About Me

I've been teaching in various forms over the past eight years, and nothing has been more meaningful and exciting for me than helping students grow as independent learners! As a principle, I don't just give students the answers - I ask questions to help guide them towards the solution using the concepts they know and the information they're given in each problem. After students develop a strong foundation, I've found that they have greater confidence in their own abilities and don't find problems nearly as intimidating. If a student becomes more confident in their abilities and no longer needs my help, I consider my job well done! I earned a dual Bachelor's Degree in Physics and Chemistry, with a minor in Mathematics, from a small liberal arts institution. (Or in other words, thousands of hours spent either in front of a chalk board or in a chemistry lab - and I loved every minute of it!) As a graduate physics TA at the University of Kentucky, I've spent seven semesters teaching physics laboratory courses to 60 undergraduates per semester. I create my own presentations, interactive activities, and worksheets to help my students learn the complex physics and error analysis concepts. In my second year, I was promoted to a Supervising TA position, in which I continued to teach while supervising and advising 5-6 other TAs teaching the same course. Beyond my university experience, I've worked as a math, science, test prep, and history tutor for over 1000 hours through various companies and independently. I excel in working with small groups or one-on-one, and I've received overwhelmingly positive reviews from my students for my attitude, patience, willingness to help, and careful attention to helping each student learn in their own way. I hold myself to a high standard and am constantly seeking to improve as an educator. I welcome all feedback and will tailor my sessions to meet your needs, whether that be preparing for exams, working through current homework, or reviewing concepts in general. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you succeed as an independent learner!
