I am very happy with our experience so far with 51Թ. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

My goal as an educator is to set my students up for success. I try to address the individual needs of my students and cater to their different learning styles. I am genuinely invested in helping them meet their goals. I have developed a flexible teaching style that is designed to develop critical thinking in conjunction with course content. In addition, I train students to think broadly and encourage students to identify multidisciplinary approaches to solving problems.

In addition to over 15 years of college teaching experience, I also possess rich, relevant, academic credentials, having achieved a Ph.D. from Washington State University. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Zoology from the University of California Santa Barbara, and I possess a wide variety of wet lab and computing skills, which allows me to design coursework and exercises for practical and conceptual learners.

I am truly passionate about education and want to help students obtain their academic goals. I am available to tutor students across a broad range of STEM subjects.
