Rachel B.
Private tutor in Salt Lake City, UT
Education
I currently work as an Engineer for Rio Tinto. Master of Science in Construction Engineering and Management (Columbia University) - GPA 3.7/4.0 Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) - First Class Honors (Queensland University of Technology, Australia) Full Dean's scholarship, based on academic merit, for my undergraduate degree. Salutatorian of my high school graduating class.
Experience
I have tutored math and science for junior school up to and including university level. * Tutored 1st year engineering students in statics and mechanics. I engaged the students so that they could learn actively, rather than through the traditional passive instruction mode. * Tutored all ages and levels of math and science, during my time in both high school and college. * I have two younger brothers who I have tutored and assisted with their homework throughout their schooling. * I enjoy math and science, which is why I went into engineering; however I understand that these subjects are often daunting to a school student. I know how to start from the basics and make sure that my students gain a full understanding of the topics at hand. The next time the student is presented questions on this topic it will be far easier for them to pick up where they left off, since they now not only know how to complete the questions required but learnt and understood the fundamentals of the topics.
