"I received a bachelor’s with distinction in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology at Yale University and went on to receive a masters in biology, focusing on biochemistry and genetics at Rockefeller University. I bring a depth of knowledge and personal experience to my instruction.

For nearly a decade I have helped middle school, high school, and college students succeed in science. While working at the American Museum of Natural History as an educator I taught a variety of classes that made science fun and accessible. As a private tutor, I focus on biology and chemistry, including honors, AP, and IB classes.

I am detail oriented and patient with a talent for clear and effective communication. I love the moment when a student's eyes light up with sudden understanding and they are ready to take the next leap forward. I take a careful, personalized approach to tutoring, paying attention to the individual needs of my students and crafting a curriculum that works for them. I am creative and adaptable, always ready with an alternative explanation or another resource.

In addition to general content review, homework help, and preparation for AP and IB Biology and Chemistry tests, I offer support for high school student who are interested in publishing their science research or literature reviews in peer-reviewed journals. I have successfully helped students publish in the Journal of Emerging Investigators, National High School Journal of Science, Journal of Science High School, and Curieux.
