"I am a Neuroscience PhD student at the University of Southern California, where I study how the brain generates emotion and bodily awareness. Before USC, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Science from McGill University and my master’s degree in Neuroscience from the école Normale Supérieure in Paris, graduating with highest honors in both programs. My academic background spans biology, psychology, computer science, and statistical methods, giving me a strong interdisciplinary foundation for tutoring across STEM subjects.
I have several years of experience tutoring and mentoring high school, undergraduate, and graduate students in one-on-one and small-group settings. I have helped students succeed in courses ranging from introductory biology and psychology to data analysis, research methods, and programming fundamentals. I am fluent in both English and French, with a standard American accent in English and a Parisian accent in French, allowing me to support multilingual learners and students studying either language academically.
My teaching style is supportive, clear, and patient. I focus on building strong conceptual understanding and confidence by breaking down complex material into manageable ideas and connecting them to real-world examples. Students often tell me that our sessions help reduce stress around challenging topics because they finally understand why things work, not just the steps to memorize. I love helping students discover that they are more capable than they think." less...
