Fun Facts

One thing that people tend to notice about me right away is that I love to ski. I absolutely love the snow and the wind on my face. It is such a rush! I spend as much time as I can on the slopes during the winter. I also love to read classic books. I love everything from Shakespeare to Oscar Wilde. I can always be caught with my nose in a book!

About Me

I am a sophomore Mathematics major at Drexel University, planning to minor in science/pennsylvania/philadelphia">Computer Science. I am an absolute math fanatic. I light up every time I talk about my major. I love to share my passion with other people. I also adore philadelphia">tutoring. There is no feeling that compares to helping a student finally understand, or even learn to enjoy, a subject they used to dislike. My plan is to go on to graduate school for Mathematics and eventually become a professor so that I can continue to share my love of the subject with students, and hopefully contribute some new mathematical findings to the field!

Starting in my freshman year of college, I helped my friends out with their Calculus classes. As of sophomore year, I began philadelphia">tutoring officially. I have privately tutored for Calculus I, II, III, and IV. My students have been very successful, finishing with their classes with great grades and a sense of accomplishment. I have also tutored privately for Algebra I for high school students. I also work for the Drexel University Math Resource Center. There, I philadelphia">tutor for everything from entry level Algebra to Differential Equations to theoretical Linear Algebra. I love everything about philadelphia">tutoring, and I am very adaptive between different levels and different kinds of mathematics.

When I first start philadelphia">tutoring, I usually hear the same thing: “I hate math.” I go in with the goal to hopefully change that mindset, even just a little bit. I at least want to make it a bit less frustrating. My first step when philadelphia">tutoring is to find out what interests the student has and attempt to make the math they are learning applicable to that. That way, they will not look at it as something useless, but instead as something they can use in their daily life. For example, if a student likes baseball, I will explain the math behind the batting average. I also try to first show an example and then have the student try one on their own. Of course, I am there if they get stuck. But to really learn something takes
