I am passionate about lifting up the next generation of business leaders. I had amazing tutors when I was in college and business school and I am ready to pay it forward.

I believe fully in the philosophy of lifelong learning, and I plan to be a lifelong learner. For ten years, I have enjoyed tutoring others in my areas of strength, not only to help with content mastery, but also to help others enjoy becoming lifelong learners themselves. I have just graduated with my Master's degree in viola performance from Carnegie Mellon University, having earned a Bachelor's degree from Western Michigan University.I am a musician by training, but I enjoy seeking knowledge in all subjects, and sharing that knowledge with anybody who will listen. In particular, I love to tutor writing, because the tutoring process encompasses both the "strict" rules of written grammar and the "open-ended" rules of content organization. To learn to write, a student must learn to express ideas, and in this setting, tutors and students can truly get to know each other.The most effective learning comes after we make learning enjoyable. That takes effort from both the teacher and the student. The teacher should come to the table with a good method and the creativity to break from the method from time to time. The student should come with an open mind, a little bit of patience, and curiosity about at least one thing - even if it is not directly related to the lesson. Some of the best learning moments can start out as light conversations!

I am a recent graduate from Carnegie Mellon University with a dual degree in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. I have several years of tutoring experience in math, English, and broad sciences for kindergarten to high schoolers. Additionally, I have tutored several students for the SAT and ACT who have had favorable results. I truly enjoy working with school students to help them further their education and have made it a part of my routine since highschool.

My personal philosophy on teaching and learning is founded around my cumulative experiences as a student, instructor, mentor and researcher. Having been an active participant from both sides of the classroom, in university settings, I know that successful learning is synonymous with long term retention, which in-turn facilitates the ability to apply knowledge and think laterally when the opportune moment presents itself in the real-world. To truly learn is to discover knowledge through experience and lots of practice which invokes the confidence to overcome challenges while simultaneously lifting inhibitions in regard to tackling new problems. To facilitate such an experience within a classroom environment is especially possible in subjects like mathematics and the physical sciences, by facilitating a working knowledge of contemporary issues in the science through articulation of real-world examples and providing opportunity for hands-on problem solving through exercises. Scientists, leaders and instructors effectively teach when they simultaneously impart information and nurture an environment that offers students the opportunity to discover a new subject while maintaining a channel for continuous closed-loop feedback, to ensure that the pace of subject-matter delivery and the student-specific rate of retention are in step. My teaching style is a literal embodiment of the above statements.

I'm a current student at Carnegie Mellon University, majoring in Statistics and Machine Learning, with minors in Business and Artificial Intelligence. I'm passionate about helping high school students succeed in computer science and math, and I've seen firsthand how a strong foundation can make all the difference. With 4+ years of mentoring experience, including leading the largest high school debate team in my state, I adapt to different learning styles and focus on building confidence through patience and clear communication. I strive to make learning engaging, supportive, and enjoyable. Outside of academics, I'm a dancer of 15 years who occasionally teaches ballet, an avid gym goer and hiker with over 200 miles hiked and visits to all top 10 national parks, and a fan of the NFL and NBA. I also love working on projects like coding games for hackathons and exploring startup ideas, bringing that same energy and creativity into my tutoring.

I am currently an undergraduate studying Statistics and Machine Learning + Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. At CMU, I am an undergraduate research assistant for the AI for Intelligent Tutoring Systems Team, and I am a teaching assistant for Fundamentals of Programming. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to tackle challenging concepts. I believe in using real-world applications to make math relatable and engaging, which helps my students build confidence and achieve academic success. I am passionate about tutoring because I enjoy seeing students overcome obstacles and progress over time, while developing a love for the subject. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy tennis, playing violin in an orchestra, and delving into literary classics.

Its a pleasure to be working with students and a true joy to watch them succeed.I have worked in the Software development industry, I'm often learning up new programming languages. I know the feeling of confidence when you find clarity on a subject. Its empowering, makes you want more challenges and dream Big! That's what's exciting about learning.Outside of work, I enjoy outdoors, hiking and being with Nature. I also enjoy reading, mostly non-fiction and I try to get through a book each week.A famous proverb says "When a student is ready, the teacher appears.." so if you need any assistance at all, feel free to reach out.

I'm committed to helping students build confidence in stem concepts! With a strong background in engineering and a minor in educational psychology, I aim to meet every student where they are at. I try to fill in any gaps in their background knowledge and help them build confidence in their subjects. I hope that the students not only understand the concepts but know how to meaningfully apply them for lifelong success in stem. I hope to learn how the student thinks to co-create learning goals.

I gained the majority of my tutoring experience from working as a high school science teacher for a prestigious independent school in Chicago. With our small class sizes, I gave lots of one-on-one attention to students both during and after class. Though I decided a teaching career is not for me, I miss the one-on-one interactions I had with students and helping them with their individual needs. I learned that patience, attention, and time will get almost any student anywhere they may want to go academically. While some students may not receive the accolades they desire to obtain, if a student begins to appreciate the path and process of learning by itself, they will find they are rarely disappointed with their academic results.Although my degrees are in Chemistry, I really enjoy tutoring physics and statistics. Those two subjects are notorious for producing a fair amount of anxiety in students, so I relish in showing how manageable physics and statistics can be for anyone. I help students learn how to overcome their anxieties by guiding them to become better problem solvers. The problem solving skills they will develop under my tutelage will be useful not only in those subjects but carry over to other academic subjects and life in general.My academic background includes graduating from Loyola University Chicago with a BA in Chemistry and Physics minor. I received a MS in Chemistry from Carnegie Mellon University specializing in Theoretical/Physical Chemistry. I will be starting a Master’s program in the fall for Data Science at IIT. During that time, I will continue to tutor. When I am not "nerding" out on programming and science, I relax over video games, board games with friends, and playing the piano.

I graduated the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in Politics & Philosophy, and I moved to Cleveland to teach. I've spent the last three years in classrooms with the last year dedicated to subbing and working with different types of students and in different subjects. Most of my experience comes in teaching Reading and Writing, and I have helped students of all ages improve both their real life skills in those subject areas and their test scores. I have also tutored kids who did not speak English to help them increase their speaking and writing skills. I can tutor math up to Algebra II, and I have experience teaching math in the classroom. Lastly, I can tutor in the Social Sciences, particularly AP Government and AP US History, as I majored in those subjects in college.I really enjoy tutoring test prep subjects, because the time spent applying for college is so exciting and stressful. It is very easy to create a goal and work toward it when a student already has their sights set on a particular college, and I love being a part of that process. I like to think of myself as a goal-oriented tutor, helping my client pick out the thing that he or she wants by the end of our sessions and driving toward it. I also believe in meeting my client where they are in their subject matter and helping them learn in their particular individual style. It does not matter how my client learns, whether it is verbal or visual or even kinesthetic--I try to accommodate and ensure that they know the material the way they will remember it best.Aside from teaching, my interests include music and cooking. I grew up listening to punk rock, and in the process, I learned to play guitar and drums. At this point though, I listen to just about everything including hip-hop, electronic music, country, and pop. I also enjoy cooking and learning to make cuisines from other cultures. Lately, I have been trying to master Lebanese food. Lastly, I like to travel. I have been all over the USA and Western Europe, and I have even made it to the Middle East.

As a dedicated tutor with over 5 years of experience, I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students find that they can conquer math and are making great progress in doing so. I have a Master's degree in electrical engineering from MIT and a PhD in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University and have been a tenured professor, but my passion is to help children realize that they can do math easily and it's actually fun. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering curiosity and confidence, and I get incredible joy from seeing my students discover how smart they really are.

I am an experienced Mechanical Engineer currently trying to make my way into the product design arena. I recently moved to Oregon from Michigan in pursuit of this goal! I have always loved and had a skill for math and physics. This was only strengthened through two degrees in engineering.Although my formal tutoring didn't start until college, in high school I did some volunteer tutoring and was often helping my friends with their physics and calculus homework. When I did tutor, I tutored mainly in all levels of math.
