"I am an undergraduate student at the University of Rochester, majoring in Physics and Astronomy. I have studied in this major for three years and will graduate in May of 2026. Throughout high school and university, I have taken courses that focused on my area of interest. Back in high school, I took courses such as Honors AP Calculus and Honors Physics C. I received straight A's in those courses and received 5's in AP Calculus BC and both AP Physics C exams.

Since January 2024, I worked at the University of Rochester's Learning Center as a tutor. I have taught students in the areas of physics and mathematics, using methods such as visualization, physical demonstration, and breaking the concept down into smaller bits to facilitate comprehension. During my time as a tutor, I have taught students who were also undergraduates, ages between 18 and 21. Most of my tutoring sessions were in a one-on-one setting, oftentimes in person in the Learning Center, where I sat across the table from my tutee and tutored them through concepts and problems they were struggling with.

During these tutoring sessions, I have encountered a variety of students, each of them with different styles of learning. These experiences have given me the knowledge and skills that help me with teaching effectively and efficiently." less...
