Math, Physics

I'm a doctoral student at UC Berkeley physics, with a passion for solving challenging puzzles. I have a master's degree in physics and bachelor's degrees in mathematics and physics. My teaching experience includes both undergraduate and graduate level physics courses, as well as tutoring students of all levels. I was honored when I was recently recognized with UC Berkeley's outstanding graduate student award. Besides teaching, I'm deeply immersed in theoretical condensed matter physics research, and I'm always eager to engage in physics discussions. Let's work together to achieve your educational goals!

Math, Statistics

I have a master's degree in Mathematics Education from CSU Chico, as well as bachelor's degrees in applied math and physics from UC Berkeley. For four years I taught mathematics at CSU Chico to students of a wide range of skill levels, and I tutored math for 5 years prior to this. I truly believe that doing well in mathematics is a skill that anyone can learn, and my favorite thing about tutoring is seeing my students become confident in their own mathematical ability. When tutoring, my philosophy is to listen carefully to ideas my students’ already have and help them build from these ideas to a complete understanding.

Language Arts, Math, Physics

Hi! I'm currently a student at University of California, Berkeley, pursuing a bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering. I started tutoring in high school, teaching topics ranging from math to English. (I'm also an older sibling, so I've been teaching my younger brother for almost as long as I can remember!) I've learned to work well with students of many age groups and backgrounds. Learning new concepts can be quite the challenge, so I'm always patient with my students. I make it a personal goal to help my students get the most out of their education. Consequently, I always adapt my teaching strategies and pacing to maximize learning efficiency. Although I'm a STEM major, I'm very passionate about public speaking, having done numerous debate and business competitions for 6 years. In my free time, I love to play badminton, win at Mario Kart, and try new restaurants with my friends!

Biology

I am originally from Texas but now live, teach, and raise my children in the Bay Area. A few years after graduating from the University of Texas with a Bachelor's degree in Molecular Biology, I went on to pursue my teaching credentials and I have been a High School Science teacher for over 14 years. In that time I've taught a number of different subjects, but my passion has always been for the subject of Biology. That passion began when I was a young boy. An appreciation for the scientific method, a strong interest in the application of scientific knowledge toward solving problems, and a deep commitment to the pursuit of truth has guided my professional career and steered me toward a lifelong love of science. It is that same passion that I have sought to share with hundreds, if not thousands, of students since I began teaching. Biology can be an incredibly interesting subject, but it can also be a truly confusing and challenging subject as well. It is my hope to help students through those challenges and help them to gain confidence and a strong command of the subject matter. My educational philosophy centers around the idea that students learn best when they pursue their own interests. Since meaningful knowledge is acquired more through learning than through "being taught" this means the best type of teaching seeks to facilitate the development of a student's own passions. In short, we tend to learn what we care about and we learn best when we enjoy the process as well. If that interest lies in Biology, then I am happy to help students cultivate their skills. If that interest lies somewhere else, then I am equally happy to help students navigate the course and overcome the challenges it may present.
