"I am an MIT graduate and STEM PhD student with 8+ years of experience in teaching and tutoring high school/college-level students in Math and Physics. In high school, I volunteered at the local tutoring center and helped underperforming students improve their grades in core STEM subjects. As an undergraduate, the MIT Physics department hired me as a Teaching Assistant (TA) for the introductory level Mechanics (8.01) and Electromagnetism (8.02) courses, and I later did group tutoring for the department. I am passionate about teaching and have continued to help students learn and achieve academic success as a Teaching Assistant for my graduate program. I have also mentored multiple high school and college students to help them get into top undergraduate and graduate programs.

As part of the extensive coursework for my STEM double major, I completed advanced classes in both the Physics and Math departments at MIT--graduating with a 5.0 GPA in all of my STEM courses. In high school, I received credit for over 20 APs and a perfect score on the ACT. Because I myself had to struggle and study very hard to get to where I am today, I have gotten very good at finding new ways to explain complex concepts so that they are easier to understand. I am excited to put that in practice as a tutor in whichever ways serve you--whether it's helping you with your homework problems, spending some time to break down a concept you're struggling with in class, or giving advice on how to approach college essays! I am currently only accepting new students for college application counseling and college essay proofreading." less...
