...engineering, cell biology, and bioinformatics. I began my tutoring career in high school as a peer tutor, where I spent my free study periods in departmental offices offering academic support on a drop-in basis. In college I also enjoyed tutoring my friends when they wanted some extra academic support.

...with a minor in Philosophy. During my time at Emory, I have developed a passion for understanding the human mind using an array of methodologies.

I also learned Japanese and German in the university. I owned my first computer the last year of my undergrad. Since then I love to use it very much including playing games on it. When I studied in Brooklyn college I picked some computer courses...

...I have ever since been "paying it forward," educating high school and college level students, and now medical students. The greatest satisfaction is seeing my students get that "ah ha!" moment when everything comes together, and then seeing them go on to accomplish what they always thought was impossible.

I have tutored students of all ages in science, math, and coding for both academic and personal interest purposes, and have volunteered for many science-based public outreach programs. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, art and photography,...

It is a genuine pleasure to be able to share my enthusiasm on these subjects with new students and hopefully make the daunting world of natural sciences more approachable.

...One of the best ways to learn coding of course is to use it to create something. When teaching in a group setting I try to encourage students to work together to solve problems. If one student is having some difficulties at a certain point or the code doesn't seem to be working as it should, I like to encourage everyone to contribute to solving the problem. This teaches them to work together, the same...

...unique way of learning. The trick is unlocking what that is in a safe and nurturing environment. We learn through doing, through mistakes, through trying things a few different ways. Conventional teaching methods don't always allow this level of individualization. We learn and remember the most when we're actively engaged, enjoying what we're learning, having fun, and making meaningful connections. Learning is not simply memorization, it is being firmly rooted in the knowledge where you...
