"Hi! My name is Michaela. I graduated from the College of William and Mary with a B.S in Computational Applied and Mathematics with an emphasis in Mathematical Biology and over 9 years of experience tutoring Math and Science. Before I went to college I worked for the city of round rock for the adaptive camp, which is a summer camp for children with special needs. Those needs included but weren’t limited to ADHD, Autism, Downs Syndrome, and general learning disabilities. This helped me learn a lot of patience and understanding that not everyone learns the same. I wasn’t always a great math student, it wasn’t until my sophomore year when I took algebra II that I began to have that Ah-ha moment, and my goal is to help other students understand math and maybe even begin to see the beauty in it.

I have an extensive background in Math that comes from my Math-Bio degree,

I’ve taken Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, Biostatistics, Quantitative Biology, Molecular Cell Biology, Laser Biomedicine, and Computational Neuroscience. Throughout my years in college, I have also been a math tutor for several years and try to use relatable examples to help students understand hard concepts. I have tutored students in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I and II, Statistics, Calculus, Precalculus. Additionally, I've tutored middle and high school students in all subjects, but I specialize in STEM subjects.

My approach to tutoring is to work closely with students to help them understand hard concepts, and confidentially solve them. I help by going through the concepts first and using everyday concepts to clarify. Then I break down the concept into steps for the student to remember. Then I give the students practice problems to allow them to work on solving the problems on their own. I truly enjoy tutoring. The look on a student's face when they understand a topic makes the extra work worth it.

Please reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson! I look forward to working with you.

Sincerely,

Michaela" less...
