...In my previous work as a math tutor for elementary and middle school students I worked through problem sets with students one-on-one to teach fundamental math problem-solving skills. I scored a 521 (131/130/130/130) on the MCAT. I graduated from Brown University with a Bachelors of Science in Applied Mathematics-Biology. (read more)
Some quick background info: I'm a theoretical physicist, specializing in string theory and black holes.

Through my classroom teaching, I have seen that tutoring can be an aide for students but als... (read more)
...I've also done a lot of finite element and finite difference codes. I have BSE, MSE, and PhDs in mechanical engineering. My thesis was in computational fluid dynamics. (read more)
