I am a graduate student at UNC pursuing my PhD in Physics. I received my Bachelors of Science in Physics with a minor in Mathematics at Augusta University.

Previous to my collegiate education, I was a member of the US Navy where I was an aircraft stuctural mechanic. During my time as a military member, I trained a large number of people on the proper ways to repair aircraft as well as providing support in the form of tutoring for math and science exams.

Since my separation from the Navy, I have been tutoring people and providing supplemental instruction to students of the university level. I have done this about 20 hours per week for the entire duration of my undergraduate career. Additionally, now as a graduate student at UNC, I have also acted as a TA where I've taught labs and helped people get through exams and homeworks by teaching them the concepts of the material.

My preferred teaching method is to get an understanding of what the student doesn't understand by having them walk me through their problems, taking note on where they struggle. Once this is performed, I like to explain the concepts in different ways depending on the students learning style - some students are more visual whereas some are more hands on. Once the student believes they have the idea, we will do a round of practice problems to solidify this knowledge and recheck to see if any other issues remain.
