About Siena

My name is Siena and I am a third-year electrical and computer engineering student at the University of Rochester. I have been a tutor for 3.5 years, teaching students in elementary through high school. I have experience teaching independent lessons and as an instructor at Mathnasium. I have also worked in childcare with students aged 3 to 13, and have completed training on teaching for students at different levels and learning styles.

I have a strong background in math and physics. In high school, I earned As in Calculus I-III, Linear Algebra, Mechanics, and Electricity & Magnetism, and 5s in AP BC Calculus, AP Physics 1, and AP Physics C-Mechanics. At university, I've gotten As in multidimensional calc, linear algebra, differential equations, and probability/discrete math classes.

Teaching is my passion. I love getting to know my students' learning styles and discovering the best teaching method for each individual student. In addition to classwork, I enjoy sharing study strategies and college application advice, as well as my own experiences in these same classes.

I can teach at the University of Rochester, online, or at your home. Note there is a travel fee for home lessons.

About the lesson

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Building and Supporting the Foundations
Lessons for younger students are teacher-led. I use classwork as a jumping off point to assess which topics are more challenging for the student, and then dive into practice problems that build understanding up until the level of the classwork. If there is a gap in understanding, I make sure to add extra support for that topic until the student is confident. I incorporate puzzles and games to make the lesson more engaging for younger students, and take brain breaks when needed. Every lesson ends with a 5 minute game. Elementary School lessons are 30 minutes or 1 hour long, accommodating for the family's schedule and student's needs.

MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL: Expanding, Growth, and Curriculum Support
Lessons for middle and high school students are much more student-led. Once reaching Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and AP math classes, students are often more aware of which subjects and homework assignments are challenging for them. I use the Socratic Questioning method to expand on topics where the student has a basic level of understanding, and teach mini-lectures on newer topics. Lessons mainly focus on classwork and homework provided by the teacher, but also include additional practice problems to add support and cement understanding. Middle and High School lessons are 1-2 hours long, accommodating for the student's schedule and needs.
