As a dedicated and experienced tutor with a strong academic background in the sciences, I am passionate about helping students reach their full potential. I recently graduated from Fullerton College with degrees in both Chemistry and Biology, earning a 4.0 GPA. I am now continuing my education in Human Biology at the University of California, Irvine. I also hold a Lab Assistant Certificate and currently work as a peer tutor for Fullerton College, where I specialize in biology and organic chemistry. I help students master complex scientific concepts through clear explanations, real-world examples, and encouragement. I was honored as a Student of Distinction, Chemistry Student of the Year, and selected as the Student Commencement Speaker—just to name a few recognitions that reflect my dedication to academics and leadership.

My tutoring journey began in high school and expanded through college, where I worked one-on-one and in group settings with students of various ages and backgrounds. I’ve tutored subjects ranging from general biology and chemistry to organic chemistry and physics. I’ve also worked with younger students, helping kids as early as kindergarten learn to read and write. My approach is student-centered: I assess individual learning styles, break down material into manageable parts, and create an interactive and supportive environment. I also emphasize critical thinking and long-term retention rather than rote memorization, which has helped my students succeed not only on exams but in truly understanding the material.

Beyond academics, I’ve worked with children with special needs, coached youth soccer, and volunteered at STEM outreach events, where I developed strong communication skills that allow me to connect with students of all ages. My teaching philosophy is rooted in patience, adaptability, and a genuine passion for learning. Whether a student needs help grasping a difficult topic or developing strong study habits, I am committed to guiding them every step of the way.

Tutor Who Truly Cares About His Students

Truly an amazing tutor! I was struggling to understand the concepts, but he broke everything down in a way that made it easy to grasp. I felt so much more confident after each session. He also goes above and beyond to support his students, even staying extra time after each session to make sure I fully understood the material. Hands down, the best tutor!
