Education
I am a second year Ph.D. student in Mechanical Engineering at UC Irvine with a 3.8 GPA. My master's and undergraduate degree is in Chemistry and Physics from the University of St Andrews, Scotland with a 3.7 GPA equivalent. I specialized in Physical Chemistry and took a variety of other subjects, such as Applied Mathematics, Inorganic Chemistry, Thermodynamics, Quantum Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Heat Transfer.
Experience
I am qualified to tutor math, chemistry, and physics at almost any level. Thanks to by education in science, I have a strong math background and scored 170 out of 170 on the GRE in quantitative reasoning. I am currently a TA for Applied Engineering Thermodynamics and enjoy helping students understand the material as well as improve their problem-solving skills. I have experience in privately tutoring both high school and college students, and have always found it very rewarding to help them achieve their goals and learn about subjects that I am passionate about. Since German is my native language, I am also offering to tutor in that subject.

Hobbies
I spend a great deal of my free time with physical activity and reading because I think it is important to have a good balance of work and other interests. Having competed in golf, tennis, ballroom dancing, and rowing, I now play sports leisurely and focus on achieving my fitness goals in the gym. I like to read articles about nutrition & exercise science, but also economics and culture.
