Programs Offered:
-
With over 10 years of experience in tutoring physics and mathematics, I provide targeted academic support that goes beyond simply helping students pass. My sessions are designed to empower students to deeply understand complex concepts and apply them effectively. Having worked with a diverse range of students, I understand how to communicate complex material in a way that resonates, making difficult topics accessible to all learning styles. Your department will benefit from higher student performance, stronger retention, and increased student satisfaction.
-
Your department needs to run its labs like a well-oiled machine, and I can make that happen. From establishing guiding documents to training your assistants and students on lab protocols, I provide solutions that will ensure your labs are efficient, safe, and student-ready. My experience at Los Alamos National Lab and helping to set up a cutting-edge electrochemistry research facility equips me with the skills needed to enhance your lab operations, allowing faculty to focus on teaching and research while I handle the logistics. Investing in this service means long-term efficiency for your labs.
Leveraging my experience from Los Alamos National Laboratory and my role in establishing the Electrochemical and Energy Research Laboratory (EERL) at Southern University, I offer lab management and consulting services that optimize operations and ensure smooth lab functionality. This service includes:
-
Mentorship is about more than just answering questions—it’s about helping students see the bigger picture and guiding them toward academic and professional success. With years of experience mentoring students in both academic and research settings, I bring a tailored approach to each student, helping them navigate their studies and preparing them for the next steps in their careers. I’ve successfully helped students across various educational institutions and industries, and I can do the same for the talented students in your department. This service will help your students thrive academically and professionally.
Student Advising: Providing one-on-one mentoring sessions to guide students on academic paths, career choices, and graduate school preparation.
Peer Mentorship Program: Designing and overseeing peer mentorship initiatives that foster collaboration and build a supportive learning environment.

Imagine a classroom where every student is engaged, even in the most challenging physics courses. I help make that a reality by training your faculty to break down barriers in communication and teaching methods. Whether it’s cultural competency or simplifying dense content, my consulting services ensure that every student, regardless of background or learning style, can grasp even the most difficult physics concepts. Your professors will learn how to connect with students, making their teaching more effective and improving overall student outcomes. This service is not just about filling a gap—it’s about transforming the way your department teaches and interacts with students.
One of the most pressing needs in STEM education is bridging the gap between educators and their students. Many professors, especially in highly technical fields like physics, struggle to communicate complex material in ways that engage and resonate with their students. This issue is especially prevalent in departments with a diverse student body, where cultural differences and learning styles can create barriers. I offer educational consulting services specifically designed to help professors in the Physics Department relate better to their students and deliver material in a way that truly sticks.
Cultural Competency Training: Provide cultural competency training that helps professors relate to students from diverse backgrounds, making their teaching more effective and inclusive.
STEM Pedagogy Workshops: Conduct workshops on simplifying complex material, using real-world examples, and adapting teaching styles to different learners.
Ongoing Coaching: Offer one-on-one coaching for professors struggling with student engagement, providing personalized strategies for improving their classroom dynamics.
My experience spans both K-12 and higher education institutions, including Harvest Network of Schools, KIPP Schools (Minneapolis and Houston), BASIS DC Charter Schools (Washington, D.C.), and Teach for America. I’ve successfully trained educators and researchers to teach complex STEM concepts in relatable and accessible ways. My goal is to empower your faculty to "make the complex simple" for students, leading to better understanding, retention, and performance.
