My journey in education is rooted in a deep love for STEM, backed by a strong academic foundation. Having achieved perfect scores on both the SAT and ACT, I offer firsthand experience with standardized testing logic. My advanced coursework began in high school, where I completed university-level Calculus III, Differential Equations, physics through Electromagnetism, and chemistry. I built upon this foundation at the University of Nevada, Reno, earning my BS and MS in Biochemistry. My graduate work involved statistical modeling to analyze botanical productivity, alongside publishing research on advanced biological concepts like gene regulation and cellular morphology. This extensive background equips me to tutor students comfortably across a wide array of advanced math and science subjects.
My teaching experience spans both formal academic environments and personalized one-on-one settings across multiple age groups. I served as a teaching assistant for middle school chemistry students, learning to break down abstract molecular concepts into engaging, age-appropriate lessons. Additionally, throughout my undergraduate and graduate years, I informally tutored peers in upper-level STEM courses, helping them navigate complex problem sets and unintuitive concepts. This fall, I will continue my academic career as a Molecular Plant Sciences PhD student at UC Riverside, a role that will involve university-level instruction and further refine my teaching methodologies.
My tutoring centers entirely on individual adaptability. I begin by evaluating each student’s current comprehension and identifying their specific pain points. By understanding how a student processes information—whether through visual diagrams, structured proofs, or conceptual analogies—I tailor my explanations to match their unique learning style. My goal is to foster a collaborative environment where students build the underlying conceptual intuition necessary to solve tough problems independently.
