"I’m an experienced educator with a lifelong passion for problem-solving and a family background in teaching. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong track record of helping students build understanding, confidence, and academic skills in math and science. My tutoring career began at Mathnasium of Arlington from 2013 to 2015, where I worked with students across a wide range of ability levels. From 2019 to 2022, I taught math and SAT prep at C2 Education, supporting middle school and high school students and helping them connect abstract concepts to real-world applications.

In 2017, I participated in the NASA DEVELOP program, collaborating with scientists at NASA Langley and NASA Goddard on interdisciplinary research projects. This experience strengthened my analytical thinking and problem-solving skills which I apply in my teaching. Since 2023, I have worked full-time as a Senior Instructor in McLean, VA, tutoring students in math, science, and standardized test preparation.

I am currently pursuing a PhD in Earth Systems and Geoinformation Sciences at George Mason University to continue the type of work I completed within the NASA DEVELOP program. My teaching approach emphasizes clear explanations, step-by-step reasoning, and tailoring lessons to each student’s goals. Whenever possible, I like to communicate with both students and parents before beginning lessons so I can prepare instruction that is effective from the very first session.

I tend to focus on physics and math but since different schools go over the material at different rates and order, please let me know what level of physics (regular, honors, AP1, AP2, APC, APEM) you are taking and where your class is at. For math, I have taught from K-8 as well as PreAlgebra to Differential Equations. Please note that my availability may be somewhat limited due to my full-time professional role in addition to my doctoral studies, but I’m happy to discuss scheduling to determine whether we’re a good fit." less...
