Whether you need help understanding a particular subject, completing homework, preparing for a test, or just managing stress – I’m here for you. My personalized attention and tailored approach will help you to grasp complex concepts and unlock your potential.
Stress and disorganisation can prevent even the most intelligent students from performing their best. Before digging into the material, it’s important to get grounded and connect with where you are. Then we can work together to build your confidence and get you to where you want to be.
Chemistry
Chemistry is often considered a weed-out class, and this reputation can add to the stress of the subject. With the right support, it doesn’t have to be a painful experience. With 1:1 sessions we can work through the concepts to help students tackle any problem with confidence: thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium, electrochemistry, stoichiometry, acid/base chemistry, and more.
Biology
There is little more elegant and awe-inspiring than the interconnected web of life on this planet. It’s easy to lose sight of that when learning becomes stressful. With collective perspective-taking we can re-imagine your potential in Biology as we reorient you to the interconnected concepts of cell structure and function, cell-cell communication, genetics, heredity, energetics, natural selection, ecology, and more.
Math
Math can seem scary and is sometimes considered a weed-out class, but it doesn’t have to be. With the right support, you will see how much you are capable of. Whether it’s Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, or other math, in our 1:1 sessions we will create a tailored plan to help you be ready for that next test. Trigonometry, limits and continuity, asymptotes, differentiation and its applications, derivative tests, integration, and more.
Spiritual Care
Part of doing your best means overcoming all kinds of obstacles and tending to the dignity of your spirit. Trained in spiritual care at Loyola University Medical Center and Meadville Lombard Theological School, I bring a depth of presence and care. I am open to all faiths or no faith, and I am LGBTQIA+ affirming. Whatever your meaning-making system, and whatever obstacles you’re facing, I’m ready to meet you where you are.
