I have been a high school physics teacher for seven years.
My focus is on providing students with strategies that help them approach problem solving in a methodical and organized manner.

About Me

I encourage students to observe their surroundings and use those observations to make connections to what we are learning in the classroom. Through a methodical, inquiry-based approach, students learn how to think critically and approach new scenarios with confidence.

Hobbies & Interests

I am pursuing a masters degree in electrical engineering in order to work with optical technology. I also have an interest in dance.

Q&A with Jennifer

I like to focus on how the subject relates to a student's own life and experiences. Physics is "the study of nature" and so it can be seen all around us at all times. I sometimes use video clips or other online resources to help the concepts come to life. What techniques would you use to be sure that a student understands the material? Usually I will have a student explain a concept back to me. If the student is working on problem solving, I provide multiple sample problems of increasing difficulty to make sure that the student understands thoroughly.
