Need help finding the right tutor?

Education

Hi! I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2017 with a degree in Physics and am currently working as a Data Scientist at a startup. I work in Python everyday and love teaching others how to code. \n

I'm available to tutor in Math, Physics, ACT & SAT Prep, Computer Science, and College Help. I'm well versed in college essay review and have worked with students who have gone on to study at Princeton, University of Chicago, and MIT.

Experience

ACT: 36 (36,36,36,35) SAT II Math II: 780 SAT II Physics: 750 AP Calculus BC: 5 I've tutored several students from ages ranging from 8 years to 18 years in topics such as algebra, geometry, precalculus, calculus, physics, and college preparation. I can create practice tests and worksheets as well. I honestly really love teaching and I try and focus on the "why" rather than the "how". "Why are we using the chain rule?" I feel is always as important of a question, if not more, as "How do we use the chain rule?" I try to emphasize that learning is not memorizing facts and formulas, but it's creating a thorough understanding of principles and ideas. I earned a perfect score on the ACT with much practice. With patience and hard work, I can help you receive a near perfect (or perfect!) score. Past Math Classes Taken in High School: Honors Algebra 2 and Trigonometry Honors Precalculus AP Statistics AP Calculus BC Multivariable Calculus Past Science Courses Taken in High School: Honors Biology Honors Chemistry Honors Physics Astronomy AP Psychology - self study AP Physics C Math/Science Courses Taken in College: -Intro Physics (Mechanics, Electricity & Magnetism, Waves & Optics) - Quantum Physics - Statistical Mechanics - Data Structures (Programming Class in C) - CS 121/122 (Programming Class in Python) - CS 151 (Programming Class in Racket) -Calculus 153 (Focused on sequences/series, differential equations, and introduction to mathematical proofs.) -Intro to Analysis (Studied the fundamentals of theoretical mathematics, writing and reading mathematical proofs, including the construction of the real numbers, the topology of the real line, and the structure of finite-dimensional vector spaces over the real and complex numbers.) -Mathematical Methods for Physics Majors (Upper level calculus pertaining to physics. Covered topics such as partial differentiation, vector analysis, linear algebra, and Fourier series.) High School Activities -Varsity Math Team -Power Play Team at the Dupage Children's Museum -> helped create and prototype new exhibits. College Activities -UChicago Society of Physics Students -Student Astrophysics Researcher -> Will be researching and analyzing data pertaining to supernovas this summer -UChicago Crew I spent much time applying to several universities my senior year of high school and was accepted into the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, Georgia Tech, and a few others. If you're soon to be dealing with this exciting application process, I'd love to sit down with you and help you go over college essays and provide you with general advice regarding the application process.
