Morgan Presley

Enthusiastic teacher of physics and mathematics!

Teaching

I am an experienced teacher of physics and mathematics, currently working as a private tutor in physics and mathematics for high school and college students. Previously, as a graduate student at UC Berkeley, I taught for many introductory and advanced undergraduate physics courses.

I also helped lead the Physical Sciences Discipline Cluster of UC Berkeley’s bi-annual GSI Teaching Conference, which prepared incoming graduate students for their first time teaching.

Research

My current research interests include integrating our modern understanding of psychology and mental health into best practices for teaching math and science; applying the principles of user-centered and inclusive design to re-think the structure of college courses; and exploring whether a greater emphasis on meta-cognition skills can improve student learning.

Education

I have a Masters in Physics from UC Berkeley and a Bachelors in Astrophysics from Princeton University.
