Hi, my name is JR Perez, a sophomore in mechanical engineering and product design at Lehigh University!
I graduated salutatorian at my high school and scored a 4/5 on all of my 11 AP courses. At Lehigh, I tutor undergraduates in materials sciences and also mentor incoming freshmen engineering and business students on physics, calculus, and economics. I have been tutoring for the past two years, whether it be online, in coffee shops, or in the home.
I began tutoring after being tutored myself. Prior, I relied on myself to teach, but after an excellent semester of being taught for Physics by a peer undergraduate, I realized the importance of guidance and tutoring in ensuring personalized care and education.
Outside of tutoring, I also do research at various labs in robotics, nuclear engineering, and optics. Though these positions force me to engage in sophisticated concepts and terminology, I make an emphasis on making education intuitive, as I believe that’s the best way to truly grasp concepts and learn.
