I know firsthand that upper-level math, science, and high-stakes standardized tests can feel completely overwhelming. But having navigated those same challenges myself, scoring a 34 superscore on the ACT, a 1460 on the SAT, and earning 5s on several AP exams, I have mastered the study strategies required to succeed, and I am passionate about passing those tools on to my students. Over the past few years, I have gained extensive experience tutoring middle and high school students, as well as mentoring my peers in collegiate engineering and pre-health honor societies. My Teaching Philosophy I believe that anyone can master difficult subjects if they truly understand the "why" behind the material. My approach goes far beyond rote memorization. Instead, I focus on: Real-World Analogies: I connect abstract STEM concepts to everyday life so they are easy to visualize and understand. Active Recall & Spaced Repetition: I teach the exact evidence-based study methods I use in my own rigorous pre-med courses to ensure long-term retention. Building Confidence: I break complex problems down into logical, bite-sized steps, helping students rebuild their academic confidence through small, consistent wins. Subjects I Tutor I specialize in middle school, high school, and early-college level courses, including: Test Prep: Comprehensive SAT and ACT prep (all sections) Math: Algebra, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus Science: Chemistry and Physics There is absolutely no better feeling than seeing a student's face light up when a tough topic finally clicks, or hearing that they confidently crushed an exam we worked on together. Whether you are aiming for a top-percentile test score or just trying to master a difficult chemistry class, I would love the opportunity to help you reach your goals.

I love to run, and I just ran the Austin marathon earlier this year! Rock climbing and pickleball are a close second and third, but overall I just love being outside and enjoying the world!
