About

I am a recent graduate in Mathematics and Physics from Reed College in Portland, OR. I have 4 years of teaching assistant and tutoring experience in math and physics, primarily focusing on introductory undergraduate courses. After graduating, I spent one year developing computational materials for the undergraduate physics curriculum at Grinnell College. I now use quantum computers to solve problems in theoretical physics as a research assistant at St. Olaf College.

Before attending college, I was unschooled or homeschooled my entire life. I spent countless hours trying to understand math and science concepts on my own, and I take great joy in sharing what I’ve learned through the years. My teaching style reflects this journey: I try to guide you to figure things out for yourself as much as possible. However, I am also sensitive to the demands of traditional academic schedules. I adjust the amount of structured support I give accordingly.

I remotely tutored undergraduate students throughout the COVID lockdowns, and I continue teaching over video call with a virtual whiteboard on my iPad.

Rayn was my Physics 101 tutor and was absolutely phenomenal. He had the capacity to consolidate and clearly explain complex topics, making them accessible and comprehensible. He had a great approach to working through a problem with me and then challenging me to tackle them myself. Absolutely incredible tutor!
