...I believe that learning is a journey and a skill best accompanied by a knowledgeable, patient, and understanding coach. I specialize in high school and college level mathematics, chemistry, and physics, as well as proofreading and editing papers and lab reports. I excel at providing multiple ways to approach a single problem, as well as giving real life examples of abstract concepts. (read more)
...Tailored Approach:I believe that every student is unique and deserves a tailored approach to learning. I take the time to understand each student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. By identifying their individual needs, I can adapt my teaching methods to ensure effective comprehension and retention of math concepts. (read more)
I love helping students achieve their true potential. I have a Bachelors in mathematics from Cornell where I graduated summa cum laude as the top math undergrad of the year, and then earned a PhD in mathematics from the California Institute of Technology. I started teaching by introducing accelerated high school students to college level mathematics at summer math camps. (read more)
...Calculus is like an upside-down pyramid - new concepts are balanced on the scaffolding of previous concepts. I work with students to make sure they have a solid foundation, and see how new material builds on what they already know. I'm a chemical engineer, so I've applied chemistry to real world applications. (read more)
...I have taught mathematics and statistics at nine universities in four states, ranging from M.I.T. (as a Lecturer in Applied Mathematics with a temporary appointment) to two open-admissions universities and including the University of Minnesota as an adjunct some years after getting my degree ther...
