I am a highly qualified educator with a robust academic background in the sciences and engineering, having earned a Master of Science in Bioengineering from Stanford University and a Bachelor of Science in Biophysics from Xavier University. My educational journey has provided me with a deep technical foundation in physics, biology, biochemistry, and math, which I have translated into several years of formal and informal teaching roles. My experience spans across various institutional levels, including serving as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Stanford University for Molecular and Cellular Engineering labs and an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant at Xavier University for both Modern and Introductory Physics labs. In these roles, I was responsible for guiding university students through complex experimental protocols and theoretical applications in a laboratory classroom setting.

Beyond the university classroom, I have extensive experience in one-on-one and small-group instruction. I served as a tutor for the Xavier University Learning Assistance Center for three years, where I helped students master subjects including physics, biology, and Spanish. Additionally, I have a strong commitment to community-based education, having volunteered as a math tutor for 5th-grade students through the Literacy Network of Greater Cincinnati. More recently, in my role as a All Together Recovery, I have facilitated daily group sessions and delivered invited talks on the neurobiology of recovery. My teaching approach focuses on breaking down intricate scientific concepts into manageable, relatable components, ensuring that students of all ages and backgrounds can achieve academic success and professional growth.

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

I specialize in helping students with ADHD and executive functioning challenges develop the structure and focus needed to succeed in rigorous subjects. My current clinical work with individuals facing diverse cognitive and mental health disorders has equipped me with high-level patience and specialized strategies for maintaining engagement and emotional regulation. Combining a Master’s from Stanford with years of experience tutoring foundational math through advanced physics, I don't just teach the material—I help students build the organizational habits and confidence they need to overcome distractions. My approach is adaptive, encouraging, and backed by a deep understanding of neurodiversity.

DAT (Dental)

DAT (Dental)

My background in Bioengineering and Biophysics has trained my brain to visualize complex 3D structures and mechanical systems—a skill directly applicable to the Perceptual Ability Test (PAT). I combine the analytical rigor of a 91st percentile MCAT scorer with the spatial intuition needed for dental school success.
Homeschool

Homeschool

I am a highly qualified educator with a Master of Science in Bioengineering from Stanford University and a Bachelor’s in Biophysics, providing me with a deep mastery of mathematics and the sciences. My teaching background is extensive and diverse, ranging from tutoring 5th-grade foundational math to serving as a Teaching Assistant for advanced physics and engineering laboratories at the university level. Beyond traditional academics, my current clinical experience working with individuals facing various cognitive impairments has instilled in me the profound patience and adaptability required to customize lessons for any student’s unique learning pace. I am dedicated to providing a structured yet compassionate homeschooling environment that fosters both academic excellence and a genuine love for learning.
Macintosh

Macintosh

I have spent over a decade utilizing Macintosh computers to manage high-level academic research, clinical documentation, and complex data analysis. During my Master’s at Stanford and my time as a published researcher, I relied on the macOS ecosystem to author ten peer-reviewed publications and develop a U.S. patent. In my current role as a medical staff member, I continue to use Mac systems for meticulous electronic medical record (EMR) tracking and clinical reporting. My approach to teaching focuses on leveraging the unique efficiency of the Mac interface to streamline professional and personal productivity.
MCAT

MCAT

I am a 91st percentile MCAT scorer (515) with an extensive background in the foundational sciences, including a Master of Science in Bioengineering from Stanford and a Bachelor’s in Biophysics. My academic performance led to an invitation to tutor for Kaplan, and I have years of experience as a Teaching Assistant for advanced laboratory courses at both Stanford and Xavier University. I have successfully authored ten peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals, demonstrating a deep mastery of the complex research and data analysis skills tested on the MCAT . My approach combines high-level technical expertise with proven tutoring methods to help students navigate the rigors of medical school admissions.
Special Needs

Special Needs

I bring a unique combination of high-level academic expertise and hands-on clinical experience to my tutoring. Currently, I work in a recovery and mental health facility where I support individuals with varying levels of cognitive and behavioral impairment, a role that requires immense patience, adaptability, and clear communication. My background includes a Master’s from Stanford and years of tutoring experience ranging from 5th-grade foundations to university-level sciences. Whether a student is working at a foundational level or managing a learning disability, I am dedicated to creating a safe, meaningful, and encouraging environment tailored to their specific mental capacity and goals.
