Liliko Uchida

Hi! My name is Liliko and I will be a sophomore engineering student at Tufts University this fall. I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, and also hope to pursue a double major in physics.

I have completed the AP Physics course at my high school with a 97% final grade as well as scored a 5 on both the AP Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism exams.

To tell you a little bit about my tutoring background, I began tutoring honors level physics my senior year of high school as an extracurricular activity. Afterwards, I continued to tutor physics and also precalculus to students at the local high school once I entered Tufts University. My teaching style usually consists of solving problems as a team with my student while discussing each step and talking about how we got there, why that step is important, and where to go next. However, some students also like a more indiviual style in which they try as much of the problem as they can first and then come together once they get stuck. I am very flexible with teaching styles and am willing to adjust to your needs!

I greatly value my students' experience in every tutoring session, and I find it important to help my students not only understand each topic, but to also find some joy in what they are learning. From personal experience, I know first hand that learning is a lot easier when you are interested in what you're doing!

If you are looking for a passionate tutor who will help you gain a deep understanding of topics in new and interesting ways, please do not hesitate to reach out!

My favorite part about tutoring students is helping them find a passion in acadmics and seeing them find deeper understanding in various subjects. This is always so rewarding and motivates me to continue tutoring the subjects that I love!
