Astoria STEM Academy, Founded in 2021

Private Tutoring at the Astoria STEM Academy:

I offer private tutoring for Math, Science, Reading, and English Language Arts. College preparatory tutoring, personal essay assistance, and college application services are available on a case-by-case basis.

A total of four private tutoring time slots are available daily for the Summer 2025 Semester, June 16th to August 29th.

Four-week, Six-week, Eight-week, and Ten-week Programs are available. Use the contact form linked
here to inquire and schedule an introductory meeting to see if the Astoria STEM Academy tutoring services would be a good fit for the children in your life.

Young Scientist Program: 4-5pm on Weekdays

Children retain material best when they learn through experiential learning. These weekly programs are designed for children based on high-dosage tutoring and hands-on activities each session. I incorporate nationally regarded Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and Oregon K-12 Science Standards that support Common Core Standards in English, Language Arts, and Mathematics. Class sizes are limited. Tuition is $25 per Scientist.

More about me:
In 2011 I completed a
laboratory Ph.D. program in Infectious Disease Research and Global Public Health at the now Center for Emerging and Re-emerging Infectious Diseases. I also participated in the Science Education Partnership (SEP) program through the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, a separate educational instruction program. Through SEP, I taught classes as a guest scientific expert at Roosevelt High School and Ballard High School. I specialized in training educators to bring the science from academia and industry to their classrooms and high school science laboratories.

I continue to work with educators to bring my proprietary STREAM or Science, Technology, Robotics, Engineering, Arts & Artificial Intelligence, and Mathematics project-based curriculum to their classrooms.
