I also have extensive experience working one-to-one with students from my position as a Learning Center Writing Consultant where I assisted students in academic writing.

Through my teaching experiences, I have found great joy in watching both kids and adults grow and excel as students. I have had experience teaching violin, Chinese, English, swimming, writing, and cell biology, and I'm very excited to expand this list. By continuing to encourage...

...instruct students in relaxation techniques to help reduce anxiety or behavioral skills to reduce procrastination, as these are often major stumbling blocks for students who underperform in class or on standardized tests.

...and counting. I was an item writer for the Proficiency (Checkpoint A) exam and Regents (Checkpoint B) exam in NY, before it became an exam to be written at the local level. Most recently, I have been grading Elementary Common Core Math and ELA exams.

...in May, 2020 magna cum laude from Northeastern University with my degree in mechanical engineering with a minor in economics. All of methods and study habits I teach my students are ones I have personally used and found to work, either in test prep or in math, science, and engineering courses. In addition to tutoring, I am always more than happy to give no nonsense advice to any student interested in going to engineering school....
