About Camille
I've just begun my Physics PhD at CU Boulder (a top 20 U.S. physics program) where I also teach the Physics II course. (For reference, I was accepted in to physics PhD programs at CU Boulder, U Michigan, and Caltech.)
My undergrad degree is in Physics, with two minors in Aerospace Engineering and Math. While in undergrad I was a teaching assistant for Astronomy and Physics II courses, and I've tutored peers and high school students in Calculus, Algebra, Statistics, Astronomy, AP Physics, and Physics I & II at the college level, as well as younger students in basic and Common Core math.
I've worked with students of all ages (second grade to college-aged), and of all learning skill levels (learning disability to gifted).
One of my passions is standardized tests - I got a perfect score on the SAT in 2015 on my first try. I tutor for the SAT (Math and Verbal Sections), SAT II on Math 1 & 2, AP Chemistry, and any of the AP Physics or AP Calculus Tests, as well as any high school level math, physics, or chemistry. I have lots of tips for you to immediately perform better that you won't find in other places, as I've developed most of them myself!
Studies show that students who feel confident on the day of a test uniformly perform better. With that in mind I take an anxiety-free, skill-building approach to learning and test taking. I've never been good at memorization, and you don't need to be either, to perform well.
Not everyone likes math and that's okay! The most rewarding part of my job is seeing students who used to fear math, develop a new, fearless attitude toward math and problem-solving in general, even if they still ultimately prefer other subjects.
Math always has one correct answer, but usually there are many, many ways to think about a math problem. If a student is struggling, my goal is always to find the way to think about the problem which makes the most sense to them.
In general, I accept Venmo and PayPal. Message me to see what my hourly rates are for the service you need!

I'm especially proud of the research I did while working at NASA JPL on ion propulsion rockets and my highly awarded research project from my senior year in high school!
I've just begun my Physics PhD at CU Boulder (a top 20 U.S. physics program) where I also teach the Physics II course. My undergrad degree is in Physics, with two minors in Aerospace Engineering and Math.
(For reference, I was accepted in to physics PhD programs at CU Boulder, U Michigan, and Caltech.)
I tutored and taught throughout most of high school and college, for students of all ages (2nd grade to college), and for students of all learning abilities (learning disabilities to gifted students). I'm comfortable with Common Core math if you are struggling to teach it to your child and with advanced questions if your child is precocious.
I was an Astronomy and Electricity & Magnetism Physics teaching assistant in college.
I got a perfect score on the SAT (Math and Reading) the first time I took it in 2015. (See an image of my score breakdown above.)
I went to a nationally ranked magnet high school. When I graduated it was the 10th rated public school in the nation - it is now the 8th.
I was a gifted student in middle school (see my gifted test OLSAT scores above - by percentile: 99% vocabulary, 98% reading comprehension, 99% mathematics problem solving, 97% history, 99% science).
I'm prepared to help students looking to get into gifted and magnet schools.
Additionally, I interned twice while in college at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, once working on a coding project for the Mars 2020 mission, and once working on research and development for an Electric Propulsion Jet rated for a hypothetical manned mission to Mars.
I also worked for an engineering professor testing applications of specific plasma phenomena.
In 2016, while a senior in high school, I won the top prize in the Physics Division at the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) for independent research on the physical effects of asteroid impacts on planets. I was invited to tour and present on my research at Caltech, JPL, and CERN as part of the prize.
I have significant coding experience. The language I'm most fluent in is MATLAB, followed by Python and Java. I'm also highly skilled at using MS Excel. I have significant experience in C++, and more limited experience in Ruby, Excel ABV, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

Depending on where a student is in the studying process and how well they know the material, we may begin learning or reviewing material right away, or I may ask the student to work through a test or problem set before we meet, so I can determine where we should begin from.
The best way to learn is to do. Especially in math and science, it's not enough just to know the theory, you also have to be able to work the problems you're given.
I only tutor online using Zoom and a graphics pad as it allows me to connect with students all across the country.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
During or before a first session, there are several things we'll need to establish immediately to make the most efficient use of time. Knowing the answers upfront to these questions helps me do that:
What's the most important thing you looking to achieve from tutoring? A higher test score? A better grade? Increased knowledge? Be as specific as possible.
How do you normally study?
If studying for a standardized test, have you begun concentrated prep work at all? Have you taken the test before? Do you have a prep book? (For the SAT I recommend the Official SAT Study Guide 2020 Edition. This is released by the College Board and is often written by the test writers directly or pulls questions from old tests. For all other tests, the Princeton Review is typically considered to be the best choice.)
What score/grade are you trying to achieve?
What topics do you struggle with the most?

Camille tutored me for a grad-level statistics class. She was extremely helpful in teaching me what I didn't understand and I became much more confident in the topic. She also shared great tips for doing the homework and taking the exams. I highly recommend Camille as a tutor, she has been nothing but helpful.
I asked Camille to work with my daughter to help prepare her for a Calculus BC final exam. Camille identified the areas my daughter needed the most assistance in and helped her master those areas. Overall I am thrilled with not only Camille’s breadth of knowledge and positivity but also her ability to explain complex topics in a manageable way. My daughter is looking forward to working with her in future subjects!
Camille was a great peer physics tutor at our advanced magnet high school. I am not a math/science person at all and Camille took the time to break down heavy equations and concepts into practical, real life examples. Camille's passion for physics drives her teaching and I highly recommend her for any of your tutoring needs!
Camille had a great understanding of vector calculus and was able to explain theoretical concepts with helpful analogies and real world examples.
Camille was an excellent tutor for me in my Astronomy class. She had extensive understanding of physics and math, among other subjects, which allowed her to explain topics in new and understandable ways. This class was through a High School Governor's Program (above honors level) and was very challenging, but Camille was very dedicated to helping me succeed and understand the concepts beyond the test times. She was encouraging and patient- definitely recommend to anyone needing help, especially in STEM subjects!
Camille has a way of explaining complicated concepts that makes them seem simple! She is a problem-solver who approaches ideas from all different angles in order to help students understand them.
Very helpful for AP Physics, really helped me get a solid grasp on the concepts.
Very knowledgeable and thorough. Helpful in explaining the topics I was struggling with.

Inquire for price. Price can vary based on time of year, the age/grade of the student, and the subject/test the student needs help with.
I offer discounts for writing reviews and for recommending me to friends who become regular students.
---------------------------------------------------------------
** Subjects that cost slightly more per hour include: AP Physics C - Electricity & Magnetism, calculus-based college physics electricity & magnetism, proof-based college math classes, college-level abstract algebra, and college-level vector analysis.
This is becasue the CollegeBoard considers AP Physics C EM to be an especially challenging course (with a very low average test score), and because the other courses listed are courses that have a very low pass rate in general.
**Typically, I charge more for college and high-school material than for middle-school and elementary material.
