"I am a Ph.D.-trained engineer and scientist with over a decade of experience teaching and tutoring students in math, physics, and engineering—ranging from high school to graduate levels. I earned my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with a focus on biomaterials and hydrogel mechanics from the University of Miami, where I also served as a postdoctoral associate in structural mechanics. My teaching journey continued through five years of postdoctoral research at Yale University’s School of Medicine, where I worked on gene expression, molecular biology, and single-molecule biophysics.

My academic foundation in physics and mathematics is extremely strong—I scored a perfect 170 out of 170 on the GRE Quantitative section—and I have taught or tutored subjects including algebra, geometry, calculus, structural engineering, mechanics, and thermodynamics. I’ve also helped many students prepare for exams like the GRE, SAT, and AP Calculus with tailored strategies for concept mastery and score improvement.

I combine deep subject expertise with a clear, approachable teaching style. Whether working with high school students struggling with algebra or graduate students needing help with differential equations or biomechanics, I aim to make abstract ideas intuitive and engaging. I adapt my teaching to each student’s goals and learning style, and I bring real-world examples to every session to make the material come alive. My goal is to build confidence and long-term success in every learner I work with." less...
