"Hello! I'm Kayleigh. For the past ten years, I have worked with students from elementary school to college on physics, chemistry, mathematics and standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, SAT II and MCAT).
I really enjoy working with students one on one, and aim to provide each student with problem solving strategies that are tailored to their individual learning style. I appreciate that the individualized attention allows for me to guide the student in a direction that can improve their understanding of the subject material. I believe in asking students lots of questions to gain a better sense of their understanding of the material- this both reinforces their learning and helps them gain confidence in what they know. I allocate time for the student to ask questions and clarify ideas that will help their thinking process.
I graduated in May 2017 from Columbia University in the City of New York with a major in biophysics. While at Columbia I took the following courses, which I am also happy to teach: Physics-Mechanics & Physics-Electromagnetics (Introductory Physics I & II), General Chemistry I & II, Organic Chemistry I & II, Biology I & II, Calculus III-IV, and Ordinary Differential Equations. Previously, I took AP Physics with Calculus for Mechanics and Electromagnetics, AP Calculus BC, AP Chemistry, AP Statistics, AP English Language and Composition and AP English Literature and Composition. I received a 5 on all of the AP exams for these subjects. I scored an 780 on SAT math, an 800 on the SAT II Test for Math II, an 800 on the SAT II Test for Chemistry, and a 750 on the SAT II Test for Physics. I scored a 35 Composite on the ACT with a Math score of 36, and Reading score of 36 and an English score of 35. I am available for MCAT tutoring for pre-med students with an emphasis on the Chemistry/Physics section (scored in the 97th percentile) and Bio/Biochem section (scored in the 99th percentile)." less...
