Experience
I have tutored college calculus II, introductory college physics, high school math, high school physics and assisted in studying for the quantitative portion of the GRE. I enjoy tutoring because I get to interact with students one on one. By getting to known students' strengths, weaknesses, goals and interests I am able to tailor my teaching method to that particular individual. I love hearing students say "Wow, that makes so much sense!" and "This isn't as hard as I thought!" not because I believe that the subjects are easy, but because I believe you gain so much confidence by understanding how to approach learning in your own unique way. I've designed and taught three inquiry-based learning activities through the Institute for Scientist & Engineer Educators based at UCSC. Those experiences have taught me about equitable teaching, authentic STEM practices and pedagogical theory which I incorporate into my tutoring. Each student has their own identity, conceptions about the world and strengths which are important to incorporate while tutoring. I have been a teaching assistant for an introductory astronomy class at the University of Minnesota, Physics 6A at UCSC and Physics 134 at UCSC. This year, I've also gained invaluable experience being a primary lecturer at Cal State East Bay for introductory physics courses. Being a student, a teaching assistant and a lecturer allows me to see the learning environment from multiple perspectives and how a student can best succeed.
