"I have always loved helping individuals build confidence in their academic abilities, and I have experience tutoring students one-on-one in biology, chemistry, math, English, and Spanish. Working closely with students has shown me how meaningful personalized support can be.

My passion for teaching developed during my time at the University of Michigan, where I worked as a Biology Study Group Facilitator. Leading weekly sessions for both introductory and intermediate courses taught me how to break complex ideas into clear, manageable explanations. I learned to adjust my teaching style based on each student’s strengths, questions, and learning preferences. Many of my students told me that our sessions helped them not just improve their grades but also believe in their ability to succeed, which is the part of tutoring I find most rewarding.

My research experience has also shaped my ability to communicate concepts effectively. I have worked in neuroscience, dentistry, public health, and clinical psychology research settings, including at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. Presenting my work at conferences and contributing to published research required me to explain detailed scientific ideas in a simple, engaging way. Living and working in Madrid further strengthened my Spanish proficiency and my ability to support students learning a new language.

My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and highly individualized. I hope to create a space where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing at their own pace." less...
