Breona

Education: PhD Physics, UCLA, M.S. Medical Physics, UCLA and B.S. Physics, Louisiana State University

Areas of Expertise: Math, Physics, & Chemistry

Breona’s STEM tutoring expertise is backed by five years of tutoring experience and a BS in Physics from Louisiana State University. Aside from working with her Stemly students, she is also a Ph.D. student at UCLA, where she does research on radiation therapy and works as a part-time science educator at UCLA Geffen Academy. In recent years, Breona has worked with educational programs, such as the Department of Education’s Upward Bound and Louisiana State University’s Pre-College Program. These experiences helped shape her desire and commitment to mentor and tutor students in STEM.

Breona’s tutoring style is interpersonal and creative. She loves getting to know her students’ career interests or personal hobbies. Because of this, she finds that using analogies tailored to common experiences is an effective way to tutor. When she is not researching or teaching, Breona splits her time among her other hobbies, including shopping, writing poetry, and trying new restaurants.

“Since signing-up and making the investment in our kid’s math skills, we’ve witnessed her gain massive momentum in understanding the fundamentals that she could build upon throughout the semester. As a result, our daughter went from struggling to keep up to making tremendous progress and drastically raising her test scores in just a couple of sessions. Thanks to her tutor, Bre (an PhD candidate :-), her understanding of the class topics instantly improved, she felt more confident in navigating the course, and now she never hesitates to ask a question if she needs a little more help expanding on the topic she didn’t quite understand. Furthermore, Bre is fantastic and they really made a connection that inspired our kid not only in math, but in the pursuit of higher education. Thank you Bre & Alexa for making this possible.”
