About Lucia

My teaching experience began in graduate school at UIUC as a TA for laboratory courses in mechanical engineering, continued at Iowa State University where I taught fluid mechanics and aerodynamics. After entering semi-retirement, I began private tutoring in Oct. 2014. I generally limit to four students at a time and have tutored 16 students privately.

Students have generally improved their grades about 1 letter grade and sometimes 2. The results depends somewhat on when tutoring began. I've also helped two students with intensive 'finishing' preparation for the AP Physics C exam working all available multiple choice from leaked tests during April of last year. Both students achieved 5s on the exam.

Lucia is a caring and very professional teacher. I am a physics student at university, taking physics for the first time in my life, and I struggled with understanding the concepts. She is kind and approachable and I felt comfortable asking all my questions. Her explanations are very clear and she breaks down every problem and what I like best is that she uses real life examples that really simply explain the physics concepts in a way that makes sense! By breaking down each problem into more manageable parts, I could understand how to actually solve problems and did much better on exams. I know that without having Lucia as my tutor, I would not have been able to do well in physics. I trust her and I would recommend her to any student struggling in physics.
