Hello! I'm a second-year medical student in Georgia, and I've been fortunate to tutor students at many stages - elementary, middle, high school, college, SAT/ACT prep, MCAT prep, and even graduate levels. I've also mentored EMT-B students, where I taught hands-on clinical skills. Having been through the challenge of not always "getting it right away" myself, I really relate to the struggle of learning tough material. That's why my approach is all about breaking down complex topics into something simple and clear, while creating a space where students feel comfortable experimenting, asking questions, and figuring things out for themselves. I adapt to different learning styles and love finding the method that clicks best for each student. For me, tutoring isn't just about grades. It's about building confidence, curiosity, and the mindset that learning can be both challenging and fun. I'm excited to support students in reaching their goals and to share in the joy of their growth along the way!
