I am an experienced math and science instructor with over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience. Between 2010 and 2014, I worked as a teacher at the Yellow Wood Academy, a private high school that offers students a specialized one-on-one classroom environment. At YWA, I taught all high school science classes (including AP, Computer Programming, and Environmental Science) and all levels of high school math. In addition to my teaching and tutoring duties, I designed individualized lesson plans, curricula, homework assignments, and tests. In my spare time, I also enjoy running, trivia competitions, and word games.
I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Physics at the University of Washington where I use advanced mathematics on a daily basis. I have taught or tutored every middle school and high school math course up to and including Statistics and AP Calculus. I am naturally gifted at mathematics, having scored a perfect 800 on the Math section of the SAT and the GRE, but I believe in the power of directed study to improve grades and test scores quickly. It is my goal to prove that mathematics can function not only as a useful tool but also as a fascinating and worthwhile pursuit in itself.
At my former employer, I taught and tutored every science course offered including (but not limited to) AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, Environmental Science, and Computer Programming. I am possessed of a limitless desire to understand how the universe works and believe that science offers an unsurpassed set of tools for approaching nearly any problem. Having worked in the laboratory, I am familiar with how science works "in the wild", and I hope to pass on to my students not only the fundamentals of scientific problem solving but also appreciation for the scientific process and ways of thinking.
Need help in another area? Just ask! While math and science are the subjects I am most passionate about, I am well-versed in many academic areas, and it is highly likely that I will be able to help you.
