Private tutor in San Francisco, CA
Education
I recently completed my undergraduate coursework towards the Physics B.S. at UC Santa Cruz. I am currently working on research in atmospheric physics to complete a thesis project. I was a transfer student from City College of San Francisco, and awarded a generous scholarship from the National Science Foundation to continue my work at UCSC.
Experience
I have tutored all levels from kindergarten to college. My coursework and tutoring in college physics makes me an excellent physics resource, especially at the high school and introductory college level. Relevant courses include: Mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, modern physics and quantum mechanics. I have also tutored high school and middle school math and physics. I have a solid math background from addition to multivariable calculus. My work with elementary age students was primarily in reading, but some math as well. I am comfortable working with all ages and backgrounds. My work has been both in-home and on site at schools. I enjoy tutoring because it is a shared learning experience. I don't think of myself as someone who knows more than a student, I think of myself as having more experience asking questions. My goal is to ask the same question as the student, and guide the student through the steps I would take to find an answer, giving the student something far more important than an answer: The tools and confidence to stand up to any question they will encounter in the future. Building problem solving autonomy is my mission.
