I hold a Master of Public Health from Vanderbilt University and completed my undergraduate degree at the University of Toronto, where I completed extensive coursework in biological sciences and human health. My academic training included foundational and advanced study in biology, genetics, microbiology, and disease mechanisms, which I later applied in graduate-level public health and epidemiology coursework. This background allows me to explain biological concepts clearly, connect them to real-world examples, and tailor explanations to the level and pace of high school students.
I have experience supporting students in one-on-one learning environments through peer mentoring and individualized academic support. I have worked with students to strengthen their understanding of core biology topics such as cell structure and function, DNA replication and inheritance, gene expression, microbial growth, and host–pathogen interactions. When tutoring genetics and microbiology, I focus on building understanding from the ground up, helping students see how processes connect rather than relying on memorization. I regularly adapt my teaching approach based on how each student learns, using visuals, analogies, and guided practice questions.
Most of my teaching experience has been in individualized settings with students ranging from high school to early undergraduate levels. I typically work with students over multiple sessions, helping them prepare for exams, complete assignments, and build long-term study skills. My goal is to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and gain confidence in biology, genetics, and microbiology by truly understanding the material rather than simply getting through it.
