Experience
This summer I have taught as a lead science instructor with Camp Galileo, where I walk 3-5th graders through science principles and a week-long project, such as catapults and hydraulic marble runs. At UCLA, I tutored as a member of Tau Beta Pi, an engineering honor society. We offered an open door tutoring program to assist with all lower-division math and science courses, including single and multivariable calculus, linear algebra, organic and inorganic chemistry, physics, and life sciences. I also tutored at my high school's after school tutoring program for several years. Additionally, I have lead an after school education program for elementary school students. In this program we taught students various math and science topics and performed an experiment or activity that demonstrated that topic. I enjoy being a tutor because I like to pass on my knowledge and ways of learning to others. Everyone has a unique way of approaching problems, and it can be extremely helpful to learn from several points of view.
