Certified Tutor

As a passionate tutor with over 2 years of experience, I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Biology at Wellesley College, where I have developed a strong foundation in microbiology. I believe that every student has the potential to thrive, and my teaching approach focuses on fostering curiosity and critical thinking. I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring complex concepts. My motivation for tutoring stems from my desire to help students not only grasp challenging material but also develop a genuine interest in the sciences. In my free time, I enjoy reading about recent scientific discoveries and participating in local environmental initiatives, which further fuels my enthusiasm for teaching.
