"I’m Zechariah! I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor’s in Industrial Engineering and Management. I am certified in Biological Sciences, Physical Sciences, and Chemistry from grades 5-12. I have taught students in the 12-19 age range. I have one-on-one tutoring experience in elementary math and middle school math. I have been teaching middle and high school sciences in a classroom setting for 5 years. I have taught virtually for the past 4 years. I won the 2023 Site-Level Teacher of the Year Award in Tulsa Public Schools.

The typical structure of a lesson/session will look something like this: I introduce the topic/concept, I teach using examples, and we work through the problems together. We start by gauging what the student already knows and what gaps or misconceptions are present. This may consist of reviewing past work or a quick problem-solving questionnaire. Then I use scaffolding to break the problems and concepts into manageable steps. Over time, I remove supports until the student has fully mastered the concept before we move on to another.

I want to help the students I work with as much as possible and welcome any resources or suggestions from students and guardians. I can teach students one-on-one or in small groups both in-person and online.

Please contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson!" less...
