Career Experience

I have just retired after 24 years of teaching at the high school level. Primarily I taught algebra-based and calculus-based physics, but I have also taught astronomy, chemistry, and earth science. In between my undergraduate and graduate studies, I worked as a telescope operator for the International Ultraviolet Explorer (a space-based telescope) at Goddard Space Flight Center and as a research assistant at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory/Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

I Love Tutoring Because

I enjoy working with students and helping them to understand the physical world. What I miss most about classroom teaching is the interaction with teenagers and helping them to realize that they can learn and do challenging things. Tutoring allows me to continue working with students.

Other Interests

Backpacking, Birdwatching, Cycling, Drinking Coffee, Hiking, Kayaking, Skiing

I wish there were a video option so I could talk through it. It's hard to do STEM over chat.

It was extremely odd to be told to wait 10-15 minutes to reconnect so I can share the time with other students on a paid 1-on-1 service.. other than that this session was great

I got some clarification on what I was doing on the problem I needed help with, and I think I can finish it up on my own. the tutor was very patient, and she helped me get on the right track.
