Biology & Chemistry:
My knowledge in these two fields have been cemented by the experiences I have gained via conducting biomedical research in the fields of biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, immunology, and cancer biology since 2010. Additionally, I have worked with students at all levels - elementary, middle, and high school, as well as college, post-baccalaureate, and graduate levels - in topics of biology (cell and molecular biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, genetics, neuroscience, physiology, immunology, cancer biology, and anatomy), chemistry (general and organic), and biochemistry, as well as standardized test preparation for the DAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP exams. With more than 14 years of experience in research and teaching, explaining scientific phenomena comes naturally to me and I am able to break down complex topics into simple, digestible terms that are easily understood by anyone, regardless of their background in science. I focus on developing robust critical thinking skills to minimize dependence on memorization.
Piano:
I'm a classically-trained pianist and have had one year of intensive piano pedagogy training as a part of my music studies during undergrad. My approach involves a deep understanding of anatomy and neuroscience to develop effective kinesthetic, intellectual, and artistic skills. During the last 13 years I have worked with over 300 students ranging from 5-60 years of age for piano, music theory, composition, and competition preparation. I currently specialize in working with adults." less...
