I am a current Molecular Environmental Biology student at the University of California, Berkeley, with a strong academic foundation in the life sciences as well as a deep passion for teaching and mentorship. My studies emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and clear scientific communication—skills that strongly shape the way I teach and explain complex ideas in an approachable way.

I have several years of hands-on tutoring experience with elementary school students, working in both volunteer and classroom-based settings. I have supported students in math and English, helping them build confidence, strengthen foundational skills, and develop positive learning habits. My approach is patient, encouraging, and highly individualized—I adapt lessons to each student’s learning style and pace, whether that means breaking concepts into smaller steps, using visual examples, or incorporating real-world connections to keep students engaged.

In addition to academic tutoring, I have taught piano to children ages 4–11 for the past three years, which has strongly shaped my teaching philosophy. Music instruction has taught me how to work with a wide range of ages, attention spans, and personalities, and how to balance structure with creativity. I prioritize making learning enjoyable while still setting clear goals and expectations, helping students stay motivated and proud of their progress.

Across all my teaching experiences—one-on-one, small group, volunteer, and classroom settings—I strive to create a supportive and positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I believe confidence is just as important as content mastery, especially for younger learners, and I work to help students see themselves as capable, curious, and successful learners.

Whether your child needs support in math, English, or general academic confidence, I bring enthusiasm, reliability, and a thoughtful, student-centered approach to every session.

I have worked in both volunteer and classroom settings, helping students master foundational skills while building confidence and strong learning habits. My teaching approach emphasizes clear explanations, step-by-step problem solving, and adapting lessons to each child’s learning style. I aim to make Common Core concepts approachable, engaging, and meaningful for young learners.

Elementary (K-6th)

I am a UC Berkeley Molecular Environmental Biology student with experience tutoring elementary students in grades K–6. I have supported children in math and English through volunteer and classroom-based teaching, focusing on building strong foundational skills and confidence. I also have three years of experience teaching piano to children ages 4–11, which has strengthened my ability to work patiently with younger learners. My approach is supportive, structured, and tailored to each student’s individual learning needs.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I offer expert support in essay writing, with a strong background in both academic and journalistic writing. I have extensive experience editing and coaching college application essays, helping students refine their voice, strengthen structure, and clearly communicate their ideas while staying authentic. I also bring four years of journalism experience, having worked with both high school and college newspapers, where I developed a sharp eye for clarity, argumentation, and effective storytelling. Academically, I have consistently earned 4s and 5s on AP History and AP English exams, giving me a deep understanding of analytical writing, evidence-based arguments, and clear organization. My approach emphasizes brainstorming, outlining, revision strategies, and confidence-building, so students not only improve a single essay but also become stronger writers overall. Whether you’re working on college essays, AP writing, or general academic papers, I provide thoughtful, constructive feedback tailored to your goals.
