Jenna P.
Private tutor in Chicago, IL
Education
I have two bachelors degrees, one in Applied Mathematics and one in Earth Science with a focus on atmosphere and oceans. I will be attending Brown university to obtain a MS in Applied Math and a PhD in Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences this fall.
Experience
For mathematics, my strengths are in calculus, linear algebra and ODE/PDE. I have also taken courses in abstract algebra, discrete mathematics, real and complex analysis, number theory, geometry and numerical analysis. For earth science, I generally focus on global climate and weather as well as physical oceanography but I have taken coursework in physical geology, mineralogy, sedimentology as well as geotectonics. My experience in these courses has been developed by research I have completed at Harvard University on statistical genetics as well as Brown University in traffic modeling. I have been a tutor at my undergraduate institution my entire academic career, and have also worked as a peer leader for groups of students. While deployed in Iraq I served as a tutor for applied sciences in the education center on base. This summer I will be involved in Northeastern Illinois University's EMERGE program, which is designed to aid entering freshman in the transition to college level mathematics. Overall I am very easy going and really have aspirations to teach, so tutoring is something I don't just do on the sidebut something that I really enjoy and am passionate about! I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve your academic goals!
