"** Please note my available tutoring times.

Hello, my name is Lauren! Let me tell you a bit about myself. I have always been interested in science and competed at multiple science fairs in high school and worked for various research groups in college. After finishing my physics undergraduate degree and a physics teaching certificate, I taught a year of 7th and 8th grade integrated science covering subjects such as biology, ecology, geology, chemistry and physics.

Besides teaching, I also love research. After my year of teaching, I started a physics PhD program researching GaN nanowires. Despite the demands of a PhD degree, I continued to be involved in education and developed a program to train graduate students how to teach. I also tutored high school, college, and graduate students while under the pressures of a PhD program.

I have studied physics for more than a decade and guided discussion sections at the collegiate level, being one of the most popular teaching assistants. I have also taught others how to teach physics, increasing my ability to help students learn on all levels.

As a physicist, I use math every day and am proficient in algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and calculus. I understand math on a high level while also knowing how to help beginning students develop essential mathematical tools.

Teaching is my passion. I help students learn how to approach problems and guide them to the correct answer. I use leading questions to help students evaluate their thought processes and catch their misconceptions. My goal is to increase student's ability and confidence so my services are no longer required. Contact me so we can set up a session and learn physics and math together!" less...
