Experience
Hello! I have very recently successfully defended my dissertation for a Physics Ph.D. at ASU. Over the past three years my work has been centered on scientific research, but now that I am graduating I'd like to get back into tutoring while I search for a career position. I have had numerous tutoring and instructional positions throughout my training, both professional and private. I very much enjoy the process of learning and strive to pass on my enthusiasm for science and math onto my pupils as well. My goal is to spark your curiosity and to deepen your connection to the natural universe by helping you understand the scientific and mathematical structure of it all.
