"I am an Honors Neuroscience major on the pre-med track with a 4.0 GPA, and my academic background has given me a strong foundation in STEM courses as well as honors-level courses in English and the Social Sciences. Being part of my university’s Honors Program has required independent research, advanced writing techniques, and critical thinking, strengthening my ability to explain complex concepts clearly and logically. My dedication to academics has earned me multiple recognitions for leadership and academic excellence, and I approach tutoring with the same level of discipline and care.

Much of my teaching experience comes from coaching youth tennis and helping peers in science-based subjects. As a coach, I work with students ranging from elementary to high school, which has taught me how to be patient, adaptable, and encouraging while breaking down difficult techniques into simple, understandable steps. In college, I often help classmates before exams by reviewing key concepts, creating study strategies, and guiding them through areas they struggle with. These experiences have helped me develop clear communication skills and the ability to adjust my explanations to match different learning styles and confidence levels.

When I tutor, I focus on ensuring students understand the reasoning behind a topic rather than just memorizing information for a grade. I begin by asking questions to gauge their understanding and then build on that using real-world examples, step-by-step explanations, and active problem-solving. I believe that having a good foundation is critical in academic success. My goal is to help each student grow more confident and independent in their learning, adopting skills and strategies to use on their own. I know what it feels like to balance challenging coursework, extracurriculars, and limited time, so I strive to make sessions efficient, supportive, and personalized to each student’s goals." less...
