Bio

Hi! I am a doctoral candidate in economics at the University of Chicago, where I also completed my undergraduate degrees with honors. My background spans a wide range of quantitative subjects (economics, mathematics, statistics, and coding), and I have been teaching students of all ages and levels for over a decade.

Hi! I am a doctoral candidate in economics at the University of Chicago, where I also completed my undergraduate degrees with honors. My background spans a wide range of quantitative subjects (economics, mathematics, statistics, and coding), and I have been teaching students of all ages and levels for over a decade.

My tutoring experience started early. I worked one-on-one with an elementary school student from an underserved community for six years, then transitioned to middle school tutoring, and have since served as a teaching assistant for high school, undergraduate, master's, and PhD-level courses throughout my graduate studies. Teaching across such a wide range of ages and academic levels has made me genuinely adaptable — I know how to explain the same idea five different ways until one of them lands.

For test prep, I scored a 36 on the ACT and a 170 on the GRE Quantitative section, so I know these exams well and can help students approach them strategically rather than just drilling practice problems. For math, statistics, economics, and coding, I focus on building real understanding over plain memorization — the kind that holds up on exams and in future coursework. I offer flexible scheduling and am happy to do a first session to make sure we're a good fit before committing to anything further.
