I have over 2,000 hours of tutoring experience working with middle school and high school students in mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science through other international online tutoring platform. Throughout this experience, I have maintained more than 20+ five-star reviews from students and parents, reflecting both strong academic outcomes and positive learning experiences.
My teaching style focuses on building confidence, improving problem-solving skills, and helping students truly understand concepts rather than relying on memorization. I adapt lessons to each student’s learning style and pace, creating a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing independent thinking skills. I also provide support for exam preparation, study planning, and long-term academic improvement.
In addition to tutoring school-aged students, I have extensive teaching experience in higher education. I have taught undergraduate-level computer science and advanced biology courses. I was also an instructor for the Master’s course “Fundamentals of Computer Science in Biomedicine” and I taught computational and analytical concepts to graduate students. In addition, I have taught Python programming and mathematics workshops for PhD students and researchers.
My academic background includes a PhD in Bioinformatics & Biochemistry from the University of Manchester and A*STAR Bioinformatics Institute in Singapore, an MRes from the University of Bristol, and a First-Class BSc in Biomedical Science from Kingston University.
I am also a Mathematics and Computer Science Judge for the Los Angeles County Science Fair, which reflects my continued involvement in STEM education and student development.

Approved Subjects

Common Core

Common Core

I have extensive experience tutoring both high school and secondary school students in Common Core Math and ELA, helping them build the foundational skills required by state standards. I bring strong analytical and problem-solving abilities that translate directly into breaking down complex Common Core concepts for students at all levels. I tailor my approach to each student's learning style, ensuring they not only meet grade-level expectations but develop genuine understanding and confidence. Whether preparing for standardized tests, catching up on core curriculum, or strengthening weak areas, I am committed to making every session productive and effective.
Computer Science

Computer Science

I am a Postdoctoral Fellow in Computer Science with over 3 years of experience teaching and mentoring at the graduate level, including instructing PhD students in advanced computer science concepts. My teaching experience spans a wide range of levels, from working with high school students on foundational programming and CS concepts to guiding doctoral researchers through complex topics. I am comfortable adapting my teaching style to meet each student's needs, whether they are just beginning their CS journey or pursuing advanced research. My hands-on academic background allows me to make difficult concepts accessible and engaging for learners at any level.
COOP/HSPT

COOP/HSPT

I have experience tutoring secondary school students in preparation for the COOP and HSPT, with a 100% success rate — all of my students have gained placement in their desired schools. My PhD-level background in STEM Sciences gives me a strong command of the math and science sections, while my broad academic experience allows me to effectively guide students through the verbal, reading, and reasoning components as well. I take a structured and personalized approach to test prep, identifying each student's weak areas early and building a targeted study plan focused on practice, strategy, and confidence. I am fully committed to helping every student walk into exam day prepared and achieve the outcome they are working toward.
Genetics

Genetics

I hold a background in Biomedical Sciences with formal university-level training in Genetics, giving me a strong foundation in both classical and molecular genetics concepts. My research experience includes working on genetic projects, with my thesis focused on Huntington's Disease — a complex genetic disorder — which deepened my expertise in gene expression, inheritance patterns, and neurogenetic mechanisms. I have experience tutoring undergraduate, high school and secondary school students, breaking down challenging genetics topics into clear and approachable lessons. Whether a student needs help understanding Mendelian genetics, DNA replication, or more advanced topics, I can guide them with both academic rigor and practical insight.
High School Placement Test

High School Placement Test

I have experience tutoring secondary school students in preparation for High School Placement Tests, with a 100% success rate — all of my students have gained placement in their desired schools. My strong background with a PhD in STEM Sciences gives me a strong command of the math and science sections, while my experience evaluating academic work allows me to identify and address each student's weak areas efficiently. I take a structured, personalized approach to test prep — focusing on practice, strategy, and time management to maximize each student's score. I am passionate about helping students reach their goals and am committed to making sure every student I work with achieves the outcome they are aiming for.
ISEE

ISEE

I have experience tutoring secondary school students in preparation for the ISEE, with a 100% success rate — all of my students have gained admission to their desired independent schools. My PhD-level background in STEM Sciences gives me a strong command of the quantitative reasoning and math achievement sections, while my academic writing experience helps students excel in the verbal and reading comprehension components. I take a structured, personalized approach to ISEE prep — identifying each student's weak areas and building targeted strategies for practice, pacing, and test-taking confidence. I am fully committed to helping every student perform at their highest level and achieve the school placement they are working toward.
Machine Learning/ AI

Machine Learning/ AI

I have over three years of postdoctoral research experience developing machine learning algorithms and AI-based analytical methods. My work includes data analysis, predictive modeling, and computational research using Python and modern ML frameworks. I have experience applying machine learning techniques to scientific and real-world datasets, including model optimization and statistical evaluation. I enjoy helping students understand both theoretical concepts and practical implementation in AI and machine learning.
Personal Statements

Personal Statements

I have extensive experience guiding high school and secondary school students in writing compelling personal statements that have helped them gain admission to their desired universities. I evaluate and provide detailed feedback on personal statements on an annual basis, staying current with what admissions committees look for in top programs. My academic background allows me to help students in STEM fields articulate their experiences and goals in a clear, persuasive, and authentic way. I am dedicated to helping each student find their unique voice and present their strongest self to university admissions panels.
