I graduated from Florida State University with a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics and Physical Science and Master's degree in Computational Science. Though I now have an in-depth understanding of mathematics topics ranging from elementary-level work to advanced college courses, math did not come easily to me in middle or high school. The same is true for programming; my now-extensive experience began with a confused and overwhelmed college freshman. I am a firm believer that every student is capable of success in STEM courses at any age, but that different students require different styles and paces of teaching, as was my case. I greatly value working with each individual to figure out a learning method that will lead them toward success and hope my near-decade of tutoring experience has allowed me to develop the tools needed to get them there.
