As an experienced tutor, Kimberly understands the importance of getting to know her students and creating an environment where students can grow and become more confident. She meets students at their current skill level and guides them as they work through problems. In doing so, she’s able to accurately address areas of weakness and build on her students’ strengths.
Kimberly specializes in tutoring math subjects, including Algebra II, Algebra II/Trig, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, Calculus I, Calculus II, and Calculus III. Her love for helping students through STEM tutoring is also reflected in her passion for research. At present, she is working on a project to further drug discovery in neurodegenerative diseases, which can potentially help and benefit a lot of people. Some of the projects she has worked on include a knee osteoporosis balance program and protein inhibition for drug discovery. For her graduate work, she focused on gamma camera calibration phantom, machine learning in MRI scans to predict mild cognitive impairment progressing to Alzheimer’s, and simulation of gamma cameras for use in SPECT brain imaging.
For fun, Kimberly enjoys running, biking, and teaching spin classes at her university.
Student Testimonials
“Stemly is an amazing long distance tutoring service with highly educated and caring tutors who can help students of all levels, including college. My daughter benefited from working with Stemly to prepare for AP calculus test on her senior year. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. The fact that Alexa, the founder and CEO, matches tutors with students based on their level, character, and learning style is amazing and makes a huge difference. Thank you Alexa for matching my daughter with Kim. She loved her calc. Sessions with Kim and definitely will come back to you if she needs help in math and science during her college years.”
