"I am excited to tutor you in STEM! I am a graduate student of Data Science at the University of Virginia. I have served as a tutor of STEM at Piedmont Virginia Community College and as a Data and Information Management Associate, a Graduate Assistant, and a Junior Software Developer. I have a B.S. in Physics and Environmental Science from the College of William & Mary and an A.S. in Computer Science from PVCC. Outside of work, I enjoy exercise, the outdoors, and sharing with family and friends.

As a tutor of Physics at William & Mary, I sought to accompany my colleagues as fellow students and friends. As a home-school tutor shortly thereafter, I guided a seventeen year old student in applying the scientific method to model the position, velocity, and acceleration of a Pinewood-Derby car rolling down a ramp. We studied the scientific method and trigonometry, and designed and created an adjustable ramp and one- and two-point timers, from scratch. In my present tutoring of Physics and Computer Science, I support students in relating to concepts as physically, fully, and carefully as possible.

I am an organized and detail-oriented professional who is familiar with many physical systems and most concepts and algorithms in traditional STEM education. In tutoring sessions with you, I will seek to understand your situation, needs, and goals. I will support you in recording your goals and plans and working toward fulfilling them. As we work with each concept and challenge, I will consistently remind us of the big picture, the importance of our work, and the tangible concepts at the core of our work. I will encourage us to stay organized and focused and to take one step at a time. I hope to offer enthusiasm, optimism, inspiration, and fun.

Let me know if you have any questions, thoughts, or requests. I am easy to reach, responsive, considerate, and thoughtful. I look forward to hearing from and working with you!" less...
