About
I've worked with middle school, high school, and college students in math courses ranging from pre-algebra to multivariable calculus. As a tutor, I work to meet students where they are and guide them through problems at the right level to build their confidence to work independently.
I love helping students with physics problems and take great joy in helping students see the beauty of mathematics through the lens of applying it to the physical world. I have a special passion for astronomy and did research in cosmology for my PhD and can tutor in topics up to graduate level in astrophysics.
In my spare time, I enjoy exploring nature, working on creative projects, and snuggling with my miniature dachshund. I'm eager to get to know potential students and would love to hear from you!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I have a conversation with them and have them try some problems or show me what they are working on in class to see where they are at, and then guide them through problems at the right level of challenge to build up their confidence.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a PhD in physics from MIT, a Master of Arts in Teaching from Tufts and have taught high school math and science for 8 years.
