Career Experience

As a grad student, I graded homework and exams, led discussion sections, and held office hours as a TA (Teaching Assistant) for introductory college level physics courses involving mechanics, electricity & magnetism, and computational physics.

I Love Tutoring Because

it's always different for each student, as each student thinks in their own way. And it's mutually rewarding when a path to understanding is found.

I have been struggling in calc for a while and this has really helped me especially since it is 24/7! I can get help on an assignment when I need it rather than waiting to ask my teacher. I also don't do well with studying on my own so using this has helped me
