I am a 29-year old American recent PhD Graduate from HKUST. Prior to my studies at HKUST, I completed my Honors Bachelor of Science at the University of Utah in the USA. I am a native English speaker and am experinced in chemistry, physics, and mathematics, as well as some biology and history. My tutoring experience is mainly at the University level. I have two years of experience as a Teacher's Assistant, which mainly consisted of 1-on-1 or group work, guiding students through problem sets. I also have two years of experience designing workshops, mainly on sustainability related subjects. I'm a big proponent of constructivist pedagogy. As a tutor, my job is not to tell students what they need to know, but to guide them to create their own accurate mental frameworks. By using real-world examples and tying new concepts to existing knowledge, I help students build functional and practical mastery over new principles.
