"I recently completed my Master's in Adolescent Earth Science Teaching, and my New York State Certification is pending.

Having tutored in the past, I can tell you that is it a richly rewarding experience. I enjoy helping students understand what they're working on. Often I find that the knowledge is there; one just needs to bring it out. To this end, I never just give an answer; I work with the student to help him or her get to the answer him/her self, and then I check to make sure he or she fully understands why they obtained the answer they did. When I was tutoring a seventh-grader in mathematics, I created over 100 problems for him to work on, so that he could master operations with negative numbers, including decimals and fractions. Over the course of five weeks, I helped him with homework, and his performance improved, along with his willingness to do math.

As an Eagle Scout, I will strive to be as helpful, friendly, and cheerful as possible with my students. I know that during the summer, some may be loathe to do work, especially on bright, sunny days, but I will do my best to make each session as fun as possible, perhaps working outside on a patio when the weather is good. I studied astronomy and earth science at Vassar College. I was involved in various musical groups on campus, as I was in high school, as well as Mock Trial and Vassar Rotaract Toastmasters.

I have previous experience tutoring in prealgebra, and I have helped my sister with Algebra I on numerous occasions. I have completed multivariable calculus and linear algebra while in college.

I received a BA in astronomy with a correlate in earth science from Vassar College in 2018.

Please don't hesitate to contact me and get to know me better. I'm flexible with hours, and I always like meeting new people." less...
