About Me

I am a double major in Physics and Astronomy at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. I enjoy teaching mathematics, physics, and chemistry. The specific classes I will tutor in include Geometry, Algebra I, Algebra II, Precalculus, AP Precalculus AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, Physics, AP Physics II, and AP Physics C. I am passionate about teaching students math and science concepts. I believe that these subjects are not just empty computations, but that they can be understood on a deeper level, and related to the real world of history and geography (which I also enjoy). This approach also develops real world skills for students, such as estimation and mental math abilities. I have experience teaching in a variety of settings, including 1-on-1 tutoring, small and large group presentations, and discussions. I believe in personalizing the tutoring experience to the needs of the student, as I know, students of many different backgrounds have different needs and understanding levels. I have long been interested in academic fields, as demonstrated by being the youngest active member of the Lake County Astronomical Society, where I attend presentations given by researchers on their work and present to groups of young students. I also participate in Scholastic Bowl and similar academic competitions. At university, I am also a member of a team that builds and competes off-road race cars. I think my best ability to make a connection with my students is my wide variety of interests. We can always find a shared topic that can be a stepping off point for explaining the hard topics. I have always loved history and geography alongside math and science. Outside of academics, I enjoy watching sports like NFL and F1 racing, reading, and playing the piano.
