Boulder / Denver College and High School Tutors

    Mogi received her B.S. in Chemical Engineering from Purdue University at the age of 19 and received her M.S. in Chemical & Biological Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder.  At Purdue, she was employed as a Calculus and Chemistry tutor by the university's Minority Engineering Program.  She also worked as an undergraduate teaching assistant for the Chemical Engineering Calculations course (equivalent to CU's Chemical Engineering Materials & Energy Balances course) and for the Design of Staged Separation Processes course.  As a graduate student at CU, she worked as an advanced graduate teaching assistant for the Chemical Engineering Kinetics course.  In the Fall of 2009, she left the PhD program and founded the BuffTutor program. To date, she has tutored over 100 students in Math, Chemistry and Physics. 

Alex is currently a graduate student in the Economics PhD program at CU-Boulder. He received his B.A. in Economics with a minor in Finance from Claremont McKenna College and his M.A. in Economics from Boston University. As an undergraduate at Claremont McKenna, Alex took 20 different courses in the fields of Economics, Accounting, and Finance and was a tutor for both Intermediate Macroeconomics and Money and Banking. While at Boston University, he specialized in applied microeconomics fields such as environmental, labor, and public economics. At CU-Boulder, Alex has served as a T.A. for both Principles of Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. His focus as a graduate student is in applied microeconomics fields.

Outside of academics, Alex worked for several years for an economic consulting firm specializing in applications of environmental and public economics. The combination of his academic tutoring experience and real world applications enables him to relate opaque economics topics to students in a simple to understand manner.

Amber has been a Buff Tutor since Fall 2012. She began her formal tutoring career in 2008, assisting students struggling in Pre-AP physics at the request of a professor until she graduated high school in 2010. Her flexible teaching style allowed her students to achieve great success: even students with consistent Fs improved dramatically to earn As and high Bs once tutoring began. In college, Amber continued to tutor informally with only positive feedback from pupils, and strengthened her teaching skills by taking courses in STEM education in which she taught science to students at the elementary level. In addition to being a Buff Tutor, Amber is currently a research assistant in CU's Astrophysics and Planetary Sciences department.

As a Physics Professor, Art stressed fundamentals and critical thinking.  He will do the same as a tutor.

Art has many practice Quizzes and tests to help students become better students and to build confidence.

Students can check out his previous student evaluations at the RateMyProfessor web site.  Search for Braundmeier, University was Southern Illinois University Edwardsville.

Bill has tutored privately for the last three years during and after working on a degree in Mathematics at the University of Colorado.

Since finishing his coursework over a year ago he has worked as a full time tutor both privately and through the BuffTutor program.

He is especially experienced at working with students in the MATH and APPM calculus sequences.

Chris has been tutoring with Buff Tutors for two semesters now with great success. Tutoring is something he enjoys and has been doing for years through his college and high school years.

Jacob received a B.S. in Nanoengineering (emphasizing Physical Chemistry), Physics, and Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin in 2011. He is now a second year PhD student in Physics working at the Quantum Physics division of NIST. He has served as a volunteer tutor for several semesters during his undergraduate studies in courses ranging from introductory physics to calculus 3 to engineering statics to atomic structure theory. He has also worked as a BuffTutor during the Spring 2012 semester tutoring Calc 1, Calc 3, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra. He has a particularly strong background in tutoring introductory physics and mathematics courses.

Keir taught high school math for nine years including accelerated precalculus, trigonometry, functions, geometry, algebra, algebra 2 and algebra 3.  He has spent countless hours helping his student outside of class time.  He can easily adapt to a wide range of learning styles.  He particularly enjoys assisting students with limited confidence and/or math phobias.

Patrick received his B.S. in Business Administration from Saint Louis University in 2009 and is currently working toward his PhD in Economics at the University of Colorado-Boulder.  He began working with studnets in the Fall of 2012 as a teaching assistant for the Economics Department. Patrick really enjoys helping students learn how to think like economists and succeed in their studies. He specializes in helping students with statistics and Intermediate Microeconomics.

Shaina graduated summa cum laude from Fort Lewis College with a Bachelor's Degree in English.  She is now a grad student at CU pursuing at Master's and teaching license in secondary English (that's Language Arts for middle and high school students).  She has extensive experience tutoring writers across disciplines and is an expert at helping students at all stages in the writing process.

Zac graduated from CU Boulder in 2012 with a B.A. in English Literature. He is a skilled writer, available for tutoring composition or theory, as well as any number of other arts courses including Humanities, History, Philosophy, Sociology and Psychology. Regardless of what field the assignment is in, he is able to assist with any writing project. He is also available for SOCY 2061 (Intro to Social Stats), as he abandoned his Sociology minor needing only six additional credits.
