STEM Tutoring
About
I am a honors graduate in Chemical Engineering from the University of Minnesota (May 2020) and will be starting a PhD program at MIT in the fall in Chemical Engineering. I have been a tutor in math and chemistry since high school as well as a teaching assistant for organic chemistry, materials science, and chemical engineering classes. I also have been very involved in STEM activies for K12 through Society of Women Engineers and am passionate about getting students of all ages excited about the subject. I will be available until the start of the Fall semester. Due to COVID-19, I am looking to work with students remotely.
I love helping people understand and become more passionate about STEM! It is amazing to see people light up when they understand a concept and reach a new understanding.
