"I am a mathematical biology researcher with 2 years of tutoring experience, specializing in math and science subjects. I graduated in the top 5% of my class from Columbia's engineering school with bachelor's degrees in applied mathematics and biology. Currently, I work at Memorial Sloan Kettering building machine learning models to interpret microscopy images. Before MSK, I published multiple scientific journal articles using mathematics to study environmental degradation. I will be starting a PhD in computational biology at UCal, Berkeley next fall.

I have experience tutoring middle and high school students individually in mathematics and science disciplines. My approach is to listen to a student describe a problem in their own words and then work with them from their understanding to the correct answer. In addition, I frame math and science problems with simple visualizations or analogies and provide context for the general implications of a problem. These methods help me increase a student's grades in and enjoyment of a subject." less...
