"I've been helping people learn physics for almost 7 years now. I worked as a tutor in physics and math and as a learning assistant for various introductory undergraduate physics courses at Western Michigan University, the undergraduate institution where I studied physics. After graduating with a B.S., I went on to work towards a M.S. in physics with a computational focus at California State University, Long Beach. There I worked as a teaching assistant and instructed introductory undergraduate physics lab courses.

Currently, I'm in the process of getting my PhD in theoretical high-energy particle physics at the University of Oregon (UO). I have served as a graduate employee since I started at the UO and have instructed introductory undergraduate physics lab courses as well as tutorial courses. I also offer private tutoring through the UO physics department to students who want a more personal focus on them. My teaching style relies heavily on scaffolding and mastery learning, while my tutoring is more solution-focused and helps students intuit the big-picture of the problems they're working on." less...
