...as I feel that the mechanisms and concepts behind how the body works are very interesting. When I tutor, I like to break down the learning process by starting off with focusing on the overall concept. Then, I like to fill in the details by using drawing, video/animations, discussion, and practice problems. Practice problems is a key part of how I tutor, as I feel that application is necessary to learn a concept properly.

I'm a passionate about physics, math and music! Love being able to share my craft with others and find great joy in helping another student learn something new. My success is your success.

As a recent college graduate, I look forward to motivating and teaching students. I am familiar with Honors, IB and college-level coursework. My areas of expertise include math, science, history, and MCAT prep.
