"Hi! My name is Vivian. I’m a researcher by day and tutor by night. Currently, I'm a PhD student at Yale's Biomedical and Biological Sciences (BBS) program intending to study biochemistry and biophysics. When not working with proteins, I enjoy helping students deepen their understanding of the chemical and biological phenomena in the world around us.

Before starting at Yale, I spent 3 years at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in Cambridge, MA working in early drug discovery. I completed my undergraduate studies at the University of Chicago in 2022, graduating with degrees in Chemistry and Biological Chemistry. Prior to moving to the midwest for college, I attended Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles, CA where I graduated as valedictorian of my class.

I'm currently offering Zoom/online tutoring services in the following subjects:

- Chemistry

- Biochemistry

- Biology

My general availability is from 7:00-10:00pm ET on weekdays, with some weekend availability (varies from week to week). I hold lessons over Zoom. If you need a chemistry or biology tutor, don't hesitate to reach out! I look forward to working with you. :)

Some feedback from my students:

“You really helped me understand chemistry concepts that I was having trouble grasping from just attending class. I really appreciate that you took the time to make pages of notes for me on different topics and doing practice questions had a big impact on my test scores. Thank you so much!”

“Very good availability, very flexible on helping me with what I needed the most help with and in ways of doing this work. Always felt more confident about a topic after our tutor sessions!”
