"Hi, I'm August! I am currently a PhD student studying physics at GWU. My focus in nuclear physics and I have worked on experiments at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Villigen, Switzerland and the Jefferson Lab National Accelerator in Virginia. I have been tutoring in various capacities since I was in high school when I volunteered as part of NHS and have worked for a couple private tutoring centers and STEM after school programs in the DC area since starting college.

Over the last five years I have tutored students of all ages in physics, calculus, and writing. In most recent tutoring position I worked specifically with neurodivergent students to help them with challenging material and in developing effective studying and time mangement strategies. When a student is stuck on a problem I try to walk students through it by breaking it down into small and easy to follow steps and/or showing them similar examples so they can learn the underlying method they need to use.

My academic experieces include: Algerbra I, Algerbra II, AP Calculus BC, AP Physics I & II, multivariable calculus, linear algerbra, and various college level physics and philsophy courses. I also teach SAT and ACT study strategies, I earned 1450 on the SAT. I find tutoring to be a rewarding experience and enjoy helping students learn new things. Many students think that they cannot do math or science, I believe that you can learn anything if you are taught wel!" less...
