I’m an incoming Stanford engineering student and passionate tutor with over 200 hours of experience helping students from 1st through 12th grade.

Whether you’re a parent looking for academic support for your child, or a high school student aiming for top scores on class tests, AP exams, the SAT, or ACT, I’m here to help you build a deeper understanding of challenging material through personalized lessons and guided practice.

Over the past four years, I’ve worked one-on-one with students across a wide range of ages and subjects. I’ve served as an assistant teacher for elementary summer school programs, led tutoring initiatives for 4th grade and middle schoolers, and spent a year tutoring AP Calculus and Precalculus. I’ve also supported students in geometry, U.S. history, and English Language Arts, both privately and through school-based programs.

As my student, I care deeply about your success—not only in your grades, but in your confidence and long-term growth as a learner. Many of the students I’ve worked with still keep in touch years later, which I consider one of the best parts of the job. I’d love the opportunity to work with you next!
