About Me

I am a fourth-year medical student at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, applying to neurology residency this year. I have a passion for working with children and have spent the past eight years tutoring elementary and middle school students in math, science, social studies, and English. I also have experience supporting students with learning differences, including autism, ADHD, and other learning disabilities. These experiences are what led me to pursue a career in neurology! As a student, I've had moments where I felt overwhelmed and discouraged when I couldn't grasp material despite my best efforts, so I understand how isolating that can feel. My goal as a tutor is to ensure that other students never feel that way, by providing patient, personalized support that helps them build both skills and confidence. In our sessions, I will break down complex concepts step by step and adjust the pace so that your child can learn comfortably, whether that be slowing down with extra practice and explanation or speeding up once they are ready. I will also tailor our classes so that they are individualized to each student's specific learning style. Not only will I help them understand the material, but I will also make sure that they have the confidence to be able to do schoolwork outside of our session. Above all, I want students to know they are not alone and to develop a genuine love for learning. In addition to tutoring younger learners, I have tutored students in high school and college level classes. I served as a Teaching Assistant for a masters level Anatomy and Physiology course, and tutored students taking molecular biology, immunology, and neuroscience courses. While tutoring higher level topics, I focus on simplifying difficult material through diagrams, analogies, and practice questions. I also emphasize study skills, such as active recall and spaced repetition. Whether a student needs help with fundamental skills or advanced coursework, I am committed to adapting my teaching style to their needs and making sure they feel supported every step of the way. Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to set up a session!
