I have a PhD in physics from University of Wisconsin-Madison and have a B.S. in Applied Physics and a minor in Mathematics from Providence College. I employ a variety of strategies including mnemonic devices, physical manipulatives, and drawings/diagrams to accommodate different learning styles. Typically, I have the students attempt to solve a problem and then ask leading questions whenever he/she gets stuck. If the questions are more conceptual in nature, I start with what the student knows and build upon that knowledge. I am passionate about math and science, and I use that enthusiasm to help develop skills and confidence of my students.
