...teaching college-level science labs as well as freelance tutoring. I began tutoring because I wanted to help students find success and enjoyment in conventionally challenging courses like math, science, and writing. I tutor college-level chemistry through Organic II, college-level physics through Electricity & Magnetism, and any and all math classes from middle-school math through college-level calculus. In my free time, I find myself exploring Austin, swimming at the green belt, learning to play guitar, and...

I am an alumnus of Mu Alpha Theta (MAO), the national math honor society, and was an active member all four years of high school.

...Washington University, I majored in an interdisciplinary program for philosophy, neuroscience, and psychology, as well as completed the prerequisites for medical school. I served as a residential advisor for two years and have experience tutoring and counseling students in that capacity.

My biggest priority is meeting the educational needs of my students in...

...effective tutor, I try to understand my student's specific goals and challenges so that I can best tailor classes to their needs. In terms of my teaching philosophy, I like to provide students with highly structured approaches to problem-solving. I do this to ensure that their students walk away armed with a set of tools that allow them to demonstrate what they have learned and execute tasks that are contingent on their subject mastery. Regardless...

...its a matter of allocating the right resources. Throughout all of my education languages and history were my strongest subjects.

I love education because I love learning and the best way to learn is...

Therefore, when I tutor I build the framework from the ground up and depend a lot on visual aids (diagrams and charts) rather than formulas and numbers....
