I hold a Ph.D. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from UC Santa Barbara and recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at UC Davis. I specialize in helping advanced high school, undergraduate, and graduate students navigate complex biological sciences, statistical analysis (R/Python), experimental design, and academic writing.
Over the past 7+ years in academia, I have extensively taught, trained, and mentored university-level students in one-on-one, laboratory, and classroom settings. My teaching experience ranges from guiding undergraduates through foundational biology concepts to training junior researchers and master's students in rigorous data hygiene, bioinformatics, and statistical modeling for massive datasets.
My tutoring approach is highly structured, patient, and practical. Because of my background as a scientific investigator, I do not believe in rote memorization. Instead, I teach students how to understand the underlying "causal structure" of biological systems and data. Whether you are a college student struggling to grasp a genetics module, a graduate student trying to debug a statistical pipeline in R, or a researcher needing help structuring a thesis or manuscript, I break overwhelming, complex problems into clear, manageable, and logical steps. I will meet you exactly where you are, tailoring my methods to your specific learning style to build both deep comprehension and long-term academic confidence.
