As a summa cum laude graduate from the University of Illinois at Chicago with dual bachelor's of science degrees in Biology and Psychology, I bring a strong academic foundation and years of teaching experience to my tutoring. My coursework across the sciences, social sciences, and writing disciplines has prepared me to work with students in a wide range of subjects, including chemistry, biology, and psychology, as well as test prep and writing.
My tutoring journey began in college, where I worked as a Chemistry tutor at UIC’s tutoring center and also served as Secretary of UIC ChemER, a student-led tutoring initiative. I led both one-on-one and small-group sessions, supporting students in General and Organic Chemistry through interactive reviews, problem-solving strategies, and regular check-ins to build confidence. As Vice President of the UIC Speech Team, I also mentored students in public speaking, helping them develop persuasive arguments, refine delivery, and prepare for national tournaments. That experience taught me the importance of adapting to different learning styles and providing feedback that’s both honest and encouraging.
Outside of academics, I’ve worked directly with children as a Registered Behavioral Therapist, using evidence-based strategies to support neurodivergent students in achieving cognitive and behavioral goals. My approach to tutoring is both patient and practical: I prioritize a student’s confidence and clarity, building their knowledge from the ground up while connecting difficult material to their everyday interests and goals.
