I am a Stanford research analyst, former high school chemistry teacher, and experienced STEM tutor with over eight years of tutoring experience. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry from San Jose State University and a Master of Arts in Education from Santa Clara University. My background combines scientific research, professional teaching, and data analytics, allowing me to bring both academic expertise and real-world applications into every tutoring session.

I spent over five years teaching high school science, specializing in chemistry, within the East Side Union High School District. During this time, I worked with students in grades 9–12, developing individualized lesson plans and adapting my teaching methods to different learning styles. By incorporating data-driven instructional strategies, I helped improve student achievement by 8%. My classroom experience has given me a strong understanding of how students learn, where they commonly struggle, and how to explain difficult concepts in ways that make sense.

In addition to teaching, my professional experience as a research analyst at Stanford University has strengthened my analytical, scientific, and problem-solving skills. I bring this experience into my tutoring by helping students connect classroom concepts to practical applications. Whether working through chemistry equations, biological processes, or challenging mathematics problems, I focus on building a strong foundation and developing effective problem-solving strategies.

My tutoring approach is patient, structured, and personalized to each student's needs. I believe that even the most challenging subjects can become manageable with clear explanations, guided practice, and the right support. My goal is not simply to help students improve their grades, but to build their confidence, strengthen their critical thinking skills, and develop a deeper understanding of the material.
