Experience
I'm a laid-back tutor who believes everyone can learn science and math subjects successfully. The great thing about science and math is that there's always one correct answer. I encourage students to ask questions so that I understand the way they think and what they need to know. I use a collaborative approach as a tutor where we have open communication and an interactive process, as opposed to lecture. When it's time to solve problems, I guide students along the path towards the answer as opposed to giving it away. This helps students develop their own problem-solving skills. I believe these methods together are the best way for students to learn successfully. I'm currently attending Drexel University to earn both my bachelor's degree and my master's degree through their accelerated mechanical engineering and mechanics program. I'm also on the premed track, and completed those requirements. Once I graduate, I intend to continue on at Drexel to earn my doctoral degree in mechanical engineering. I'm focusing on biomechanics, and I've already had the opportunity to do research and work in that industry developing new medical devices. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities like hunting and fishing, snowboarding, rock climbing, mountain biking, and others. I also enjoy pottery, poetry, and product design.
