About Me

I received an undergraduate degree in Physics and a minor in Spanish from Lawrence University, WI where I built up a lot of tutoring experience in many math subjects. This includes working with students who do not feel they have a 'math brain' or are insecure about their math abilities. I am currently tutoring Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Arithmetic, Elementary Math, Geometry, Middle School Math, and Pre-Algebra, in addition to introductory Spanish levels and general homework help. I have experience specifically working with students that have trouble focusing and have worked with children with ADHD though I am not specially licensed for working with children with learning disabilities. Math is obviously my favorite subject to tutor because I love finding new ways to explain concepts I am already so familiar with and use on a regular basis, as I am currently working on a graduate degree in Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis. My teaching approach with students is very similar to the approach I use with myself when I am struggling to learn a new concept. I try presenting the concept in a new way, or going back to what the student (or myself) knows and working my way up. Besides math, I also love food, cooking, and learning new recipes!
