Science class overview

My tutoring approach is grounded in the scientific method, emphasizing hands-on learning and building strong fundamentals through visual models. I specialize in teaching Life Science, Forces and Motion, Astronomy, and Environmental Science to a small audience of less than 10 students across Elementary, Middle, High School, and College levels. To enhance learning, I leverage tech tools like digital whiteboards, interactive quizzes, and game-based learning platforms. I follow diverse curricula such as A-Levels (UK), AP Program (USA), and IB to cater to individual student needs effectively. My personalized tutoring style fosters a supportive environment where students thrive academically.

OConnell is a grreat teacher. She really cares about each student and encourages us to do our best. She explains things clearly, then lets us try them on our own, while giving helpful feedback. Her way of teaching makes learning physics fun and interesting. OConnell is truly an amazing tutor.

OConnell is my Physics tutor, and since we started working together, I’ve gotten so much better at understanding it! She’s a fantastic teacher, and I’d totally tell anyone who wants to learn more about Physics to pick her!
