Experience

-Past teaching assistant, grader, and tutor for Calculus 1 & 2 and Calculus in Three-Dimensions at Carnegie Mellon University -Past employment with Goldstein Test Prep in Pittsburgh, PA. Responsibilities included teaching SAT prep classes (~4-6 students), private SAT prep tutoring, and private tutoring for various other math and science needs (AP Physics, AP Calculus AB/BC, pre-calculus, etc.) -Past tutor for introductory engineering courses at Carnegie Mellon University Why do I want to tutor? I love the problem solving nature of math and physics. Solving a math problem can be as fun and interesting as solving a hard puzzle or word problem, but it will not be fun unless you understand what you are doing. Realizing that most do not share my love for numbers, I like helping make complicated concepts seem understandable to those who aren't as big of a math nerd as I am!

Hobbies

I am an outgoing, fun-loving person who has been very self motivated throughout my entire life. I have had success with past tutoring with my ability to adjust to different learning styles. As for interests and hobbies, I was a college athlete at Carnegie Mellon on their women's basketball team for my four years there. (I went through the whole recruiting process, so I can offer some guidance if your son/daughter is on that path too!) I still love playing basketball, running, and drawing.
