Hello! I’m Emerson. I am a junior majoring in Health and Exercise on a pre-med track, and I tutor general chemistry and physics. I love these classes because they can seem challenging at first, but once a concept really clicks, you gain a sense of confidence that makes even difficult problems feel manageable.

Rather than relying on straight memorization, I believe that deep conceptual and visual learning can help students approach new problems without feeling lost or overwhelmed. My tutoring style is patient and collaborative. I like to work through problems with students and make sure they understand the reasoning behind each step. I also enjoy going over test-taking strategies specific to these subjects, as well as study resources and strategies that I have used to succeed. Outside of academics, I love going to the gym, playing pickleball, and reading. During a tutoring session, we will work together to identify where you’re struggling, build a strong understanding of the material, and develop strategies you can use independently.
