About Me

I am currently a medical student at Johns Hopkins University. I received two Bachelor of Science degrees in Biochemistry and Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. At College Park, I tutored for three years as a Math Success Coach, tutoring college-aged students one-on-one or in small groups varying levels of math, from pre-algebra to calculus 3 to linear algebra and number theory. I was also an undergraduate teaching assistant for Organic Chemistry 2 for two years, as well as for Genetics for one semester. My TA roles included overseeing labs, teaching discussion sessions, helping students understand concepts and assignments during office hours, and being available to my students in general. I believe in a student goal-centered, individualized approach to tutoring, and in making sessions as relaxed and stress-free as possible. I believe in celebrating victories, no matter how small, and in learning from mistakes and weaknesses with an optimistic eye. I enjoy tutoring math the most, not only because I find the subject matter itself fun and exciting, but also because I love seeing that moment on a students face when a problem clicks or when he or she figures out an answer his- or herself. Outside of class, I enjoy reading, movies, volleyball, watching college basketball, and socializing in general. Hobbies: art, travel, movies, reading, writing, books, traveling, music
