Who needs tutoring?
What prompted you to seek tutoring?

I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

I graduated at SUNY Buffalo with a PharmD in 2015 and I am licensed to practice pharmacy in the state of New York. Subjects that I am the most comfortable teaching are math (up to Algebra 2), science (Biology, Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, etc), and certain languages (Korean, Japanese, French) at the beginner level. While dabbling in a few "teaching" experiences (teaching assistant for a course, Paint Nite instructor) I found that I do best in a 1-on-1 setting which tutoring fits the bill. My teaching style is incredibly laid-back and my end-goal is making sure that one is comfortable with me and also with learning the material.

In my free time I like to knit, cook, draw/paint, as well as being an avid Redditor. My dream in life is to travel around the world and experience the culture (mostly the food) of different countries. I also am currently in the works to become a medical interpreter, combining the knowledge acquired from my degree with my passion for languages.

What is your teaching philosophy?

I believe incorporating humor (when it is applicable and appropriate) into teaching is key to engaging students while leaving an impact that lasts.

What might you do in a typical first session with a student?

Ask a student about their interests, hobbies, learning style, and their life goals.
