"I hold a strong academic background in the biological sciences, and from August 2021 to May 2023, I worked as a Teaching Assistant for undergraduate biology and chemistry courses. In this role, I supported students through small-group sessions, one-on-one tutoring, and virtual office hours. I worked with students ranging from first-year college students to upperclassmen, helping them navigate challenging coursework by breaking down complex topics in clear, approachable ways. These experiences taught me how to meet students where they are—whether that means explaining concepts visually, using analogies, or guiding them through structured study strategies.

What truly drives me as a tutor is the opportunity to make academic support more personal and more accessible. I struggled with certain subjects myself in undergrad, so I know how overwhelming it can feel—and how impactful the right kind of help can be. I aim to be that kind of help for my students: someone who’s patient, empathetic, and encouraging. I focus not just on content mastery, but also on building confidence and independent learning skills. Whether I’m working with a high school student in an AP course or a college student in an introductory science class, I adapt my methods to fit their learning style and pace, making sure they feel supported every step of the way." less...
