I am a biomedical engineer working in orthopedic research. My degree is from Arizona State University in Biomedical Engineering. I have experience helping people learn in many different stages of life, from age 3 to adults, including preschool, elementary, middle school, as well as high school students. I love math and science and I love sharing that love with other people. Technology is also a passion of mine and I have experience helping people get up to speed with helpful skills for the professional environment.

As a tutor, I believe that everyone benefits from encouragement - so many times the barrier to learning is confidence! Students often know more than they realize, and I like to guide the student in the process of discovering their own natural talents. I like to teach using questions and supporting students through active problem solving from the beginning.

I recently moved to the Twin Cities from Arizona and I love exploring the outdoors while hiking and running around the lakes, enjoying the new climate and the new plants and animals. I also enjoy meditation and yoga. I'm a life long learner, always pursing interesting new ideas in science and medicine. I'm especially an anatomy nerd.

Q & A

What is your teaching philosophy?

I am a firm believer in the Socratic method, using guided questions to help students along the path to understanding problems using their own problem solving skills. I think this helps build confidence and gives students a sense of satisfaction in their learning.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

In a typical first session with a student, I like to get a feeling for where a student is at with the subject and materials that they are studying. I also like to find out what they find easy and what concepts they are struggling with to make it easier to target where we need to focus, and to determine how to make connections between what the student already understands and what they are struggling with.
