Scott B.
Private tutor in Seattle, WA
Education
B.S. in Physics (honors) from Santa Clara University, class of 2011. Double major in Physics and French. Study abroad in Nantes, France.
Experience
Over 8 years of teaching and tutoring experience in math, physics, French, English and jazz piano. Tutored all ages in the U.S. and in France (in both English and French). Toured internationally with award winning high school jazz band and a community college jazz band. 3-month internship in semiconductor research in Nantes, France. Worked for HBO as a project manager and software engineer. I have always loved tutoring and working with people of all ages. I am a very good explainer and I accurately address the deficiencies in a student's knowledge of a subject. Many members of my family are teachers and I am very passionate about education. In college I took the most challenging courses in math and physics on all topics ranging from vector calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, analytical mechanics, computational mechanics, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, etc. and frequently helped others out with their homework. In high school I played piano for two internationally traveling jazz bands. The Bellevue College Jazz Band played in China, the Czech Republic, and Peru, and my high school jazz band (the Roosevelt Jazz Band) played in Scandinavia and Europe, and also won first place during my senior year in the national Essentially Ellington jazz competition. In 2011-2012 in France, I taught English to full classes of middle schoolers and high schoolers, as well as one-on-one tutoring classes in English, math, and physics. (I taught in both French and English.) In 2012-2013 I worked as a project manager and software engineer for HBO. I am a kind, patient, precise and experienced tutor and would love to help you with whichever subjects are of interest to you!
