"COVID-19 update: I'll be helping students online for the time being. I will be happy to help you sort out and adjust to your online courses as we work through math and science classes together.
I remember what it was like to struggle with science and math subjects, and I hope to remove the anxiety and frustration from these topics. I think all students can understand these topics... IF they have someone who will teach them the way they learn best. Not all students learn or are motivated the same way, and I adapt my approach for each student's needs.
When students don't understand the material due to the pace and style of the classroom, they often take this to mean there is a problem with them -- they can't understand or get math and science. I want to help students see this isn't true, that they CAN understand with the right help. I don't just tutor Science and Math skills, I try to also teach a Science and Math confidence mindset!
I've been tutoring College and High School students for over 20 years - since my college work-study days! I've also taught classes at the University level, but I prefer working one-on-one so that I can really directly address individual questions and confusions. I take the material as slowly and patiently as needed to find your inner science or math Super Star! =)
I have a wide science background across biology, chemistry, and physics. I have a PhD in Biophysics and have worked as a research scientist and lecturer at Caltech, one of the top technical schools in the world.
I also tutor other topics, including history, English, and writing. I enjoy working with student to learn how to use a structured writing process to produce excellent papers and essays.
In addition, I have experience working with students with IEPs and learning differences. Specifically, I have worked with kids on the autism spectrum and with ADD/ADHD.
