"I am a first-year medical student at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, building on a strong academic background in biology, biochemistry, psychology, and writing. Before medical school, I earned my undergraduate degree at Tufts University, where I served as a teaching assistant in both Biology and Biochemistry for three years. In these courses, I led review sessions, taught laboratory techniques, held weekly office hours, and worked closely with students to clarify difficult concepts. This experience gave me extensive practice explaining material in multiple ways and adapting my approach to fit each student’s needs.

In addition to my TA work, I have several years of tutoring experience at the high school and college levels in subjects such as biology, chemistry, psychology, statistics, and academic writing. I have also supported students applying to college and medical school by helping them strengthen personal statements, supplemental essays, and application strategies. My one-on-one sessions focus on identifying a student’s learning style, breaking down complex ideas into manageable steps, and building confidence through clear, structured guidance.

My teaching philosophy centers on helping students develop mastery rather than memorization. Whether I am preparing a student for a challenging biology exam, supporting them through MCAT content, or guiding them through a major writing assignment, I aim to make the material feel intuitive and achievable. I enjoy working with students of all ages and am committed to helping them reach their academic goals with clarity, confidence, and steady progress." less...
