Certified Tutor


During my college years, I worked as a tutor and found great joy in helping students connect with challenging concepts. The moment a student grasps a difficult idea is incredibly rewarding, and it fuels my desire to create a classroom environment that is supportive, engaging, and inclusive. I aim to foster curiosity by encouraging dialogue and connecting chemistry to real-world applications. Using hands-on experiments and collaborative activities, I want to make learning dynamic and exciting.

I recognize that each student brings unique perspectives and experiences. By adapting my teaching methods, I strive to empower all learners to engage with the material. My goal as an educator is to instill not only knowledge but also a lifelong love for science. I believe that informed and curious minds are crucial for addressing complex societal issues.

In conclusion, my commitment to teaching chemistry is rooted in my passion for the subject and my desire to inspire students. I look forward to the challenges of being an educator, guiding students in their exploration of chemistry, and helping them discover their potential.

Hobbies

My hobbies reflect a blend of creativity and activity that keeps my life vibrant. I love knitting and crocheting, which allow me to unwind while crafting cozy garments and unique decorations. Baking sourdough is another passion of mine; there's nothing quite like the smell of fresh bread filling the kitchen. I also find joy in painting, as it gives me the freedom to express myself on canvas. On top of these artistic pursuits, I'm diving into learning Chinese, fascinated by the language and culture. To balance my quieter pastimes, I enjoy running, which not only boosts my physical health but also clears my mind and energizes my day. Each of these hobbies brings me a sense of fulfillment and joy, making my life all the more enriching.
