Lola O.

Private tutor in San Diego, CA

Education

I attended middle school and high school in France, at the Lycee Marseille-Veyre in Marseille, where I received a Baccalaureate of Science with Honors in 2007. I then attended the University of Massachusetts where I graduated Cum Laude in 2011 with a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering. After graduation I went to work as a mechanical engineer for a manufacturing company for several years before changing careers to follow my real passion and becoming a high school math and physics teacher.

Experience

I was a tutor and instructor all through college and absolutely loved it! Over my four years as a tutor, I worked with over 150 students 1-on-1. As a TA, I held study sessions for over 300 students, and as a supplemental instructor I held weekly classes, which were attended by dozens of regular students. I love finding that one example or explanation that helps a student really understand a concept and have that "a-ha!" moment. I've tutored everything from Calculus to Probability and Statics, from Statics to Strength of Materials. I believe what makes me a good tutor is my ability to explain a concept multiple ways, finding different examples to suit the student I am working with. I understand people learn in very different ways and it is up to the tutor to adapt to the student's learning patterns, not the other way around.
