About Me

I began tutoring during my second semester of college, as a student tutor at Stevens Institute of Technology, and continued throughout undergraduate completion. I was able to become a student tutor as a freshman due to the AP credit I received in Calculus I/II and Physics I. This allowed for 3.5 years of student tutoring as well as opened up many opportunities for off-campus tutoring jobs. Overall, I have had an amazing experience tutoring high school and college level math and science subjects! My undergraduate degree is in Mathematics with completed pre-medical requirements, as my future plans involve medical school. However, I would love to always continue tutoring because it truly is a job that I value doing. I recognize how fortunate I was to have had excellent math and science teachers, since grammar school, and am very passionate about contributing the same experience to others. Having good instruction from a young age makes higher level math and science much less intimidating! In fact, I have found that most students struggle with a lack of confidence due to the intimidating nature of math and science and, after helping them overcome their distrust in themselves, I find that that was their biggest obstacle after all. Furthermore, my method of tutoring is always to work toward providing a solid conceptual understanding of each subject I tutor!
