"I'm Autumn! I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Atmospheric Sciences (I love teaching others about clouds!) and a minor in Environmental Studies. I am currently pursuing graduate studies in Climate Science & Policy. With a strong background in the physical and environmental sciences, I’m passionate about tutoring others in a subject I love. I have experience teaching in formal and informal settings, working with children ages 5–12. Last spring, as a volunteer language assistant in Spain, I led science and language classes in multiple public elementary schools. I also have six years of experience as a youth sailing instructor, where I taught STEM-integrated sailing camps, introducing students to marine and environmental science. Through these roles, I developed the ability to cater to auditory, visual, and kinesthetic learners.

Before I teach, I take the time to understand my student's learning styles so I can tailor my approach to best support them. I emphasize critical thinking through a question-based approach, using open-ended questions to guide students toward understanding concepts. I also believe learning should be active and engaging, incorporating interactive activities and compelling visuals to ensure comprehension.

I'm always open to feedback and committed to helping each student succeed in their own way. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson—let’s explore the exciting world of physical and environmental sciences together!" less...
