Tutoring has helped me feel more confident not only in test taking, but also in my ability to learn. Before tutoring, there were times when I felt like I would never be able to understand certain concepts. My tutor not only helped me learn the material, but also showed me that I was capable of doing it. She helped me build skills and habits that allowed me to succeed and feel confident in other classes as well. One specific way tutoring truly affected me was by helping me succeed in my high school classes, which ultimately led to me earning a full-ride scholarship to Mines.

I’ve always been someone who struggled with math. Throughout high school, it was my hardest subject, but since I started tutoring, my skills and confidence have improved so much. I recently earned the highest score I’ve ever received in college algebra, a 99%! Meg has been incredibly patient and supportive throughout this journey. She’s a great tutor who helps me understand even the most complicated problems, from algebra and geometry to college algebra and physics. She’s also flexible with my schedule and always kind and understanding of my learning challenges. Still waiting for a photo, but figured I'd send it to you anyway.

Going into junior year, I signed up for a rigorous course load that included Honors Physics Dual Enrollment (D). After my first test, I realized I needed some extra help. From our very first session, I knew it was exactly the support I was looking for. Meg doesn’t just go over the material, she helps me truly understand it. We work through problems together in a way that makes everything click, and that has shown up in my quiz and test scores. More importantly, I feel so much more confident starting problems on my own. I no longer stare at a question wondering where to begin. Working with Meg has made a huge difference in both my understanding and my confidence in physics.

Tutoring has helped me so much this year in giving me confidence in my math skills and building them up. I have learned so much about time management and how to prepare well for exams. Meg is always available for questions and prepares different study materials. She is so knowledgeable and has explained to me things in a way I can comprehend quickly. My study habits have immensely improved and with it my grades have significantly gone up.

Modern Physics was the first time in my academic career when I felt so beyond lost that I knew I wouldn’t be able to succeed alone, and I’m so glad I found Meg at The Modern Physics Tutor! By the end of our first few sessions working on homework, I realized how much better I could grasp the content just by having someone who knew the subject to talk through it with me. With her help, I managed to get 100% on my second midterm and pass the class with a B! I highly recommend Meg for any student who wants a little extra help in their physics class. The personal connection Meg makes leaves each student with a customized experience and someone to help them along. From my time with Meg, I not only have a better understanding of Modern Physics, but I also understand the unique study methods necessary for higher-division physics courses. It was certainly a confidence booster to see how simply meeting with someone a dozen times could change the trajectory of the class, and now I have far more confidence in my ability to continue on this academic and career path.
