I am a graduate student pursuing a Master's in Science Education (6-12), and I am passionate about helping students understand and enjoy science. I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology with a Neuroscience concentration and completed pre-health STEM coursework, giving me a strong foundation in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. In college, I tutored and served as a teaching assistant for Anatomy and Physiology II and Biology, working with students ranging from 18-22 in both one-on-one and small group settings. These experiences taught me how to explain complex scientific concepts clearly and adapt my teaching style to reach each student’s needs, pace, and learning preferences.

My tutoring philosophy focuses on building curiosity, confidence, and conceptual understanding. I strive to make lessons interactive, engaging, and relatable, whether by connecting chemistry concepts to everyday examples, guiding students through investigation-based physics problems, or using visual models in biology to clarify complex mechanisms. I aim to create a welcoming and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and exploring ideas at their own pace.

This upcoming year, I will be begin with science teaching career in Metro Atlanta, supporting students in all communities while continuing to grow as an educator. Outside of formal teaching, I explore scientific topics and methods daily and bring that enthusiasm to every tutoring session. I am flexible with scheduling, patient with each student’s needs, and eager to help learners succeed academically while fostering a lasting curiosity and love for science.
