Bio

My academic background is rooted in both quantitative and communication-focused work. I scored an 800 on the SAT Math section and an 800 on the Math Level II Subject Test, and I earned a 5 on the AP US History exam. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from USC’s Marshall School of Business, earned a Financial Modeling & Valuation Analyst certification, and hold a California Real Estate Salesperson License.

My academic background is rooted in both quantitative and communication-focused work. I scored an 800 on the SAT Math section and an 800 on the Math Level II Subject Test, and I earned a 5 on the AP US History exam. I graduated Magna Cum Laude from USC’s Marshall School of Business, earned a Financial Modeling & Valuation Analyst certification, and hold a California Real Estate Salesperson License. At USC, I served as a one-on-one student mentor in the Coury Leadership Program, where I worked with students individually to strengthen study strategies, build academic confidence, and approach challenging material with structure rather than stress.

I love the confidence that comes from learning something new, and I tutor because I want students to feel that same confidence. My job is to make complex ideas clear, build strong fundamentals, and help students develop a toolkit they can use under pressure.

My approach is patient, clear, and steady. Whether we’re preparing for the real estate licensing exam, strengthening GMAT reasoning skills, or mastering U.S. History material, we move at the student’s pace and reinforce the fundamentals on which everything else depends. I break big concepts into small, repeatable steps that make even the most challenging topics feel manageable. I believe students learn best when they feel supported and capable, so sessions are designed to shift responsibility over time from me modeling the process to the student taking the lead with growing confidence.
What matters most to me is helping students recognize their strengths and use them intentionally. Tutoring isn’t just about improving grades in the moment; it’s about building durable skills, curiosity, and confidence that carry into future classes, test environments, and early career choices. Every student has strengths worth developing. I help them uncover those strengths and learn to use them well.

Real Estate

Real Estate

I specialize in real estate financial modeling with hands-on experience underwriting multifamily, student housing, and net-lease retail assets across Southern California and the Sun Belt. My work includes building Excel-based cash flow models, analyzing cap rates, IRR, equity multiples, and evaluating value-add and redevelopment scenarios from acquisition through disposition. Moreover, as an Associate at an L.A.-based brokerage, I have deep familiarity with the California Real Estate Salesperson Exam, combining practical industry experience with a clear understanding of state-specific laws, contracts, agency, financing, and ethics. I focus on translating complex concepts into clear, test or interview-ready strategies that help students and professionals apply real-world reasoning, not just memorize material.
United States History

United States History

I earned a 5 on the AP United States History exam through self-study, and I am passionate about helping other students build the same clear, confident, and winning study strategy that worked for me. I help students develop strong testing and preparation systems that lead to a deep understanding of America's story: From Pre-Columbian societies through modern U.S. history. My instruction will never be about cramming vocabulary terms; instead, it will be about understanding each moment's historical significance. I also focus on document analysis and structured essay writing so students can craft precise, well-supported historical arguments under exam conditions.
