I am currently pursuing a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering at MIT, after completing dual bachelor’s degrees in Materials Science and Engineering and Computer Science at Cornell University, with a minor in Applied Mathematics. My academic background has given me both a strong foundation in technical subjects and the ability to connect concepts across math, science, and engineering.
In addition to my coursework, I have experience mentoring and training students in research settings at Cornell, MIT, and national labs. This often involved explaining complex ideas clearly, helping others learn technical skills, and guiding them through problem solving in both theory and practice. I have also supported peers through informal tutoring in math, physics, computer science, and engineering classes.
My approach to tutoring emphasizes building confidence. I focus on breaking down difficult material into manageable parts, using real-world examples when possible, and adapting to the student’s learning style. Having worked with both high school and college students, I know how to make abstract material approachable while still building the problem-solving skills they need to succeed.
