Jacob O.

Private tutor in Evanston, IL

Education

Haverford College, 2012, B.S. in chemistry and physics (double major). Graduated summa cum laude with high honors in both chemistry and physics and a 3.96 GPA. University of California at Berkeley, 2017, Ph.D. in physical chemistry. I performed research on solar energy conversion.

Experience

I served as an individual tutor for introductory college level physics, chemistry, and calculus classes while an undergraduate student myself. As a graduate student, I was a TA for multiple introductory chemistry and upper level physical chemistry classes. These positions often involved running 20 student discussion sections and being available for office hours. I had the opportunity to work with many students one on one or in small groups during these office hours. During graduate school, I also spent four semesters as a math instructor at a prison, teaching elementary algebra. I taught one class a week, and sometimes held office hours. For two of these semesters, I was the lead instructor for the course. After graduate school, I spent the summer of 2017 as the head instructor for an introductory chemistry course. I was therefore responsible for the design of the course, from the syllabus to daily lesson plans. I have always enjoyed my teaching experiences, and hope to be a college professor some day. I hope to continue gaining experience as an educator through this platform. relevant scores: ACT: 34 SAT math: 800 AP Calc AB and BC: 5
