I am a Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering student at Georgia Tech with a concentration in Biotechnology and a strong academic background in mathematics, chemistry, and organic chemistry. I have completed Organic Chemistry I and II as well as rigorous engineering coursework involving advanced mathematics and problem-solving, maintaining an overall GPA of 3.9. Additionally, coming into college, I had a 34 on the ACT.
I have experience tutoring both high school and college students one-on-one, particularly in mathematics (Alegebra I/II, Geometry, Calculus) and Chemistry ( Gen Chemistry I/II, Organic Chemistry I/II). I have also volunteered as a tutor for underprivileged high school students for all things STEM, giving me experience working with students from different academic backgrounds and learning styles.
My tutoring approach focuses on genuine understanding rather than memorization. I start by having students identify the concepts they are struggling with, then break complex topics into smaller, more manageable pieces. I provide organized notes, explanations, and targeted practice problems until the student feels comfortable with the material. I also have students explain concepts back to me in their own words to make sure they truly understand how and why something works. Additionally, I believe that a strong foundation is key to success in any subject, so if I notice gaps in the foundation, I will go back and fill them instead of building on a shaky base. For example, in calculus, a strong foundation in algebra is critical, so if needed, I will go back and work with the student on algebra before trying to add on more challenging content.
I understand how difficult subjects like Organic Chemistry and advanced mathematics can feel because I have taken these courses myself. I am passionate about making challenging material feel less overwhelming and helping students build the confidence and problem-solving skills to succeed independently, not simply memorize information to pass an exam.
