Hello! I am a biomedical engineering student at Johns Hopkins University with a strong academic record in rigorous STEM and writing-intensive coursework. I have earned A/A- grades in advanced college-level courses including Calculus III, Physics (Mechanics and Electricity & Magnetism), Chemistry, Linear Algebra, and Physiology, and I scored a 5 on AP Calculus BC. Succeeding in one of the most demanding engineering programs in the country has strengthened my ability to break down complex concepts, identify misconceptions quickly, and explain material in a clear, structured way that students can actually retain.

I have several years of experience providing one-on-one academic support to peers and younger students in math, science, and writing. I specialize in middle school through high school subjects including Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology, as well as college essay and academic writing support. My tutoring style is concept-driven and highly personalized: I focus on understanding why a student is stuck, rebuild foundations from first principles, and then reinforce learning through targeted practice. For writing and college applications, I emphasize clarity, structure, and authenticity—helping students develop strong arguments and narratives without losing their own voice.

What sets me apart as a tutor is my ability to combine high academic standards with patience and approachability. I know firsthand how overwhelming advanced coursework can feel, and I work to make sessions productive, supportive, and efficient. I offer an introductory conversation to align on goals and learning style, communicate expectations clearly, and prioritize long-term understanding over short-term memorization. If you’re looking for a tutor who is academically rigorous, direct, and genuinely invested in your progress, I’d be excited to work with you.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I built a strong foundation in Algebra 1 through accelerated coursework that emphasized problem-solving, logical reasoning, and real-world applications. I’m comfortable teaching linear equations, systems, inequalities, and functions with a clear, step-by-step approach. My experience in advanced math and AP-level courses allows me to connect Algebra 1 concepts to higher-level math, helping students see the bigger picture early.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I completed Algebra 2 as part of an advanced math track, mastering topics like quadratic functions, polynomials, exponentials, logarithms, and rational expressions. With experience in AP math courses, I focus on pattern recognition and conceptual understanding rather than memorization. I help students move from “plug-and-chug” to true confidence in multi-step problem solving.
Biology

Biology

I scored a 5 on the AP Biology exam, covering molecular biology, genetics, metabolism, cell signaling, evolution, and physiology. I’m experienced at breaking down dense biological processes into clear, intuitive explanations that actually make sense. With a strong STEM background, I emphasize connections between biology, chemistry, and real-world applications—especially useful for students aiming for advanced science courses or pre-med tracks.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I completed high school chemistry and AP Chemistry, gaining strong experience with stoichiometry, thermodynamics, equilibrium, acids and bases, electrochemistry, and kinetics. I focus on teaching chemistry as a logical system rather than a set of disconnected formulas. My AP-level training helps students understand why reactions behave the way they do, which is key for exams and long-term retention.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I’m a Johns Hopkins student who went through the full selective college admissions process and earned acceptances to UC Berkeley, UCLA, Vanderbilt, Georgetown, Rice, and WashU. I help students build smart, realistic college lists and position themselves strategically for top-tier schools. My guidance is practical and transparent, grounded in firsthand experience with competitive admissions rather than generic advice. I focus on helping students tell a clear, authentic story that actually stands out.
Earth Science

Earth Science

I have a strong background in Earth science through coursework and Science Olympiad experience. I’m comfortable with topics including geology, climate systems, oceanography, and Earth–atmosphere interactions. I help students understand Earth science conceptually, not just memorize facts, with an emphasis on diagrams, data interpretation, and real-world applications. My goal is to build intuition and confidence for exams and competitions alike.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I earned a score of 5 on the AP English Language exam and have strong experience writing high-scoring analytical and rhetorical essays. I specialize in helping students develop clear thesis statements, logical structure, and precise evidence-based arguments. I focus on breaking down prompts, organizing ideas efficiently, and revising for clarity and sophistication. My approach emphasizes practical strategies that lead to stronger writing and higher scores on timed and polished essays alike.
Precalculus

Precalculus

I took Precalculus as preparation for AP Calculus BC, developing a deep understanding of functions, trigonometry, vectors, and limits. I’m especially skilled at helping students connect algebraic, graphical, and conceptual views of problems. My AP math background allows me to teach precalculus as a bridge course—setting students up to succeed in calculus, not just pass the class.
United States History

United States History

I earned a 5 on the AP U.S. History exam and have a strong command of both the content and the skills the test rewards. I help students master historical arguments, DBQs, LEQs, and SAQs with clear frameworks and efficient study strategies. My approach emphasizes understanding cause-and-effect, continuity and change, and historical thinking rather than memorization. I focus on boosting scores by teaching students how to write precisely and think like AP graders.
