About Me

Hello! I'm a 3rd-year medical student with plans to specialize in neurology or psychiatry. I previously graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with minors in biology and chemistry. I have an extensive tutoring background, beginning in high school. First, as an elementary school ESL tutor due to my 11 years of Spanish and Advanced Placement course experience, later becoming a Supplemental Instructor for my college's Psychology 101 courses for 2 semesters. Here I would create and hold twice weekly lessons for challenging material, pre- and post-exam reviews, and regular evening "office hours" for one-on-one, confidential, personalized support. With COVID-19, I was forced to rapidly adapt to both virtual and hybrid settings, but here I learned strategies to succeed, both as a tutor as well as a student, that I still use today! Through my own academic journey, one of these lessons I hold dear is to embrace weakness just as much as you'd embrace strength. Taking time to celebrate successes (even the small ones) has been just as important to my success as reviewing my shortcomings and evaluating potential future obstacles. In this way, I believe my role as a tutor is to elevate each student's unique strengths and successes, while working together to actively and openly spot and address any roadblocks to success!
