Tutoring Experience

I still keep in touch with my second grade teacher. She tells me that when I was in her class, I would get up and help other students once I was finished with my own work. Even then, I wanted to help others enjoy learning!

​

Since then, I have worked with many students, from helping across the study hall table as a high school student, to teaching in front of classrooms, to formally tutoring students during college and afterwards.

​

Over the years, I have helped students with:

  • physics

  • algebra, geometry, remedial math, pre-calculus, calculus, college algebra

  • beginning Spanish

  • study skills

  • SAT preparation

  • and more!

I have worked with students of all levels, including:

  • those looking to fine-tune their understanding of class assignments

  • those needing remedial instruction

  • those wanting to learn a class over the course of a summer

  • everything in between

Additional Experience

I have also worked as an author and reviewer of online homework content for a textbook company.
