"I am a Columbia University graduate with a BSc in Biomedical Engineering. At Columbia, I earned the CP Davis Scholarship and graduated with a 3.9 GPA. Since completing my degree, I work as an Associate Researcher at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in the Rudebeck Lab, where I investigate the mechanisms deep brain stimulation for psychiatric disorders using nonhuman primates in hopes of pursuing my doctorate degree. My academic training in neuroscience, engineering and design and mathematics underpins both my research and my teaching. Drawing on this foundation, I bring clear explanations and real-world examples to every tutoring session, helping students connect theoretical concepts to practical applications in neuroscience, engineering, and the broader STEM disciplines.

Over the past four years, I have tutored and taught students ranging in age from high school sophomores preparing for standardized exams to undergraduates tackling upper-level engineering courses. In my role as an In-Major Tutor in Columbia's Biomedical Engineering Department, I led one-on-one sessions to demystify quantitative physiology and signal-processing methods, adapting each lesson to the student's learning style and pacing. As a Teaching Assistant in the Electrical Engineering Department, I guided groups of 10-15 students through hands-on laboratory work, emphasizing circuit building techniques and troubleshooting strategies. I have also maintained an independent tutoring practice, both in person and online, where I prepare students for STEM examinations such as the CSEC achieving pass rates above 95 percent. My instructional approach combines concept mapping, Socratic questioning, and problem-based learning, enabling students to build confidence, develop critical thinking skills, and achieve measurable improvements in their grades and test scores." less...
