Hello! I'm an MIT graduate with over five years of dedicated tutoring and teaching experience, and I'm passionate about making complex concepts accessible and intuitive. My extensive teaching background spans personalized one-on-one instruction in various math and science disciplines, from algebra and calculus to advanced topics like differential equations and linear algebra. At MIT, I served as a teaching assistant for differential equations, supporting students through individual guidance, review sessions, and homework help. Additionally, I've enjoyed volunteering in educational outreach programs focused on supporting high school students throughout the Boston area. In one of these programs, MIT Momentum, I was a lecturer for about 50 high schoolers, teaching the basics of machine learning, data science, and neural networks.

My interdisciplinary educational and experience - from earning an undergraduate degree in biology to conducting climate change research and publishing findings in peer-reviewed journals - has made me a strong all-around thinker. This has strongly informed my tutoring approach: I like to draw meaningful connections across subjects, helping students appreciate the broader relevance of what they learn.

In my tutoring sessions, I prioritize fostering a deep, intuitive understanding rather than mere memorization. I emphasize the motivations behind key concepts, enabling students to grasp not just how something works but why it matters. By consistently integrating real-world examples and interactive visualizations, I create engaging and dynamic learning experiences tailored to each student's needs. Most importantly, I encourage open dialogue and questions, viewing curiosity and inquiry as vital components of the learning process. My goal is always to provide personalized support, identifying each student's unique strengths and areas for growth, so that every lesson is both productive and inspiring. I look forward to working with you!

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

Calculus was my favorite math subject in high school. I have a lot of experience with calc - a 5 on the AP exam and As in my calc-heavy subjects at MIT (multivariable calculus and differential equations). Calculus is key for any scientist or engineer, and my approach to teaching it emphasizes examples and deep understanding.
Data Science

Data Science

I worked as a data scientist in a climate change research lab for 4 years as an undergrad and then a full-time employee. I understand the theory underlying popular machine learning techniques such as classification trees, regression, clustering, and neural networks, and also their practical implementation in Python. I can also demonstrate how the results of these algorithms can be interpreted and visualized using Python graphing libraries.
SAT Math

SAT Math

I scored an 800 on the SAT Math section and have a huge passion for math in general. I have tutored over a dozen students in SAT Math specifically and I look forward to working with you as well. I am happy to work with you to create a customized study plan that includes both lessons and homework assignments.
