Certified Tutor

I'm passionate about helping students because I've seen how meaningful support can turn uncertainty into confidence. Having excelled academically myselfI graduated in the top 1% of my high school class and completed a rigorous AP curriculum in subjects like Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Calculus BC, English, Economics, and SpanishI know how transformative good teaching can be. I later earned my undergraduate degree from Northwestern University, where I studied Neuroscience, Anthropology, and Global Health. Those disciplines deepened my appreciation for how people learn, think, and connect across different perspectives.
Throughout college and medical school, I've tutored students of varying ages and backgrounds in subjects including biology, chemistry, math, and writing, as well as standardized test preparation. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and writingbiology because it helps students see the logic and beauty behind how living systems work, and writing because it empowers them to express complex ideas with clarity and confidence.
My teaching philosophy centers on patience, adaptability, and curiosity. I approach each session as a collaboration, tailoring lessons to each student's needs and helping them build problem-solving skills rather than rely on rote memorization. Outside of academics, I'm passionate about photography and travelboth of which keep me creative, observant, and open-minded, qualities I bring into every tutoring interaction.

Hobbies

Outside of academics, I love exploring creative and active outlets that keep me balanced and inspired. Photography and pottery let me slow down and notice details—whether it’s capturing light through a lens or shaping clay into something tangible. I stay active through hiking, yoga, Pilates, and the occasional game of pickleball or volleyball with friends. I also love immersing myself in stories through K-dramas, music, and film, and I’m a bit of a stationery enthusiast who finds joy in studying or journaling at cozy coffee shops. Traveling ties it all together for me—it fuels my curiosity, refreshes my perspective, and reminds me how much there is to learn from the world around me.
