I completed my BS in Biochemistry at Lafayette College, and my PhD in Biomedical Sciences at UMass Chan Medical School. I have over five years of tutoring and mentorship experience and specialize in biochemistry, scientific writing, and ACT prep. I am also approved to tutor genetics, microbiology, biology, and elementary science. I am committed to helping students of all ages prepare for their next steps, whether those are college, medical school, graduate school, or the professional world.
During my PhD, I mentored students extensively in complex scientific concepts, lab techniques, and presentation skills. I focus on breaking down challenging material into clear, big-picture concepts before building up to the technical details. This approach helps students truly understand the material, improve retention, and perform more confidently on exams and assignments. I tailor my approach to each student and adapt based on feedback.
Whether you’re looking to help your young student get excited about science, or are a graduate student drafting your thesis, I’m here to help. I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve your goals!

Approved Subjects

ACT English

ACT English

Through my PhD training in Biomedical Sciences, I developed strong writing and editing skills with a focus on clarity, structure, and conciseness. I help students succeed on the ACT English section by strengthening their understanding of grammar, sentence structure, and effective revision strategies. I focus on identifying common patterns in ACT questions, including redundancy, punctuation, and organization, and teaching efficient approaches to improve accuracy and speed.
ACT Reading

ACT Reading

I help students succeed on the ACT Reading section by improving comprehension, identifying key ideas, and locating evidence efficiently within passages. I focus on strategies for managing time, approaching different passage types, and answering questions accurately based on the text. My goal is to help students read more effectively and confidently select answers supported by clear evidence.
ACT Science

ACT Science

I have a strong background in scientific reasoning and data analysis, developed through my PhD in Biomedical Sciences. I am skilled in helping students interpret graphs, analyze experimental setups, and identify trend- key skills for success on the ACT Science section. I focus on building efficient strategies for approaching passages, improving accuracy, and managing time under pressure. My goal is to help students feel confident navigating ACT Science by breaking down complex information into clear, manageable steps.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I hold a BS in Biochemistry and a PhD in Biomedical Sciences. I am comfortable helping students with both conceptual understanding and problem-solving, including topics such as enzyme kinetics, metabolism, and molecular interactions. I focus on breaking down complex pathways into clear, logical steps and connecting concepts to improve retention. My goal is to help students build a strong understanding of biochemistry and apply it confidently in their coursework.
Biology

Biology

I have a strong background in biology through my BS in Biochemistry and PhD in Biomedical Sciences, with experience studying cellular processes, molecular pathways, and physiology. I am comfortable helping students with both conceptual understanding and problem-solving across a range of biology topics. I can assist with areas such as cell biology, genetics, and physiology, as well as general coursework and exam preparation. My goal is to help students build a clear, intuitive understanding of biological concepts and apply them confidently.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

I have a strong foundation in science through my BS in Biochemistry and PhD in Biomedical Sciences, and enjoy helping younger students build confidence in science early on. I focus on explaining concepts in a clear, engaging, and age-appropriate way, tailored to each student’s level. I can help with general science topics, homework, and building foundational skills in scientific thinking. My goal is to make science approachable, understandable, and enjoyable for students.
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

I developed extensive experience writing technical and scientific content during my PhD and undergraduate training, with a strong focus on translating complex ideas into clear, well-structured writing. I have previously helped students with academic writing, including analytical essays, research papers, and lab reports. I can assist with essay development, organization, use of evidence, and proper citation. My goal is to help you become a more confident and effective writer.
Genetics

Genetics

During my PhD training, I developed a strong foundation in genetics through work with mutant cell lines, CRISPR-based gene editing, and analysis of gene expression using RNA-seq and qPCR. I have a deep understanding of molecular genetics concepts, including gene regulation, transcription, and mutation effects. I am comfortable helping students with both conceptual understanding and problem-solving in genetics, including topics such as Mendelian inheritance, Punnett squares, and gene expression. I also completed formal coursework in molecular genetics during my undergraduate studies (B.S. in Biochemistry) at Lafayette College.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

Through my academic and professional career, I have successfully navigated interviews for college, graduate school, and multiple roles in the pharmaceutical industry. During my PhD in Biomedical Sciences, I further developed strong communication skills through presentations, scientific writing, and mentoring students. I can help you prepare for interviews by organizing clear, confident responses, refining how you present your experiences, and practicing common interview questions. My approach is supportive and interactive, focused on helping you communicate your strengths effectively and stand out as a candidate.
Microbiology

Microbiology

Through my training in biomedical sciences, I developed a strong understanding of microbiology, including host-pathogen interactions and immune responses. I am comfortable helping students with both conceptual topics and coursework in microbiology, such as bacterial structure, growth, and basic virology. I focus on breaking down complex material into clear, logical explanations and helping students connect concepts. My goal is to help students feel confident understanding microbiology and applying it in their classes.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

I successfully wrote, submitted, and defended my PhD thesis in 2026. I am experienced in structuring/drafting theses, as well as in proof reading/editing figures and figure legends. During my PhD, I frequently mentored graduate students in technical writing and figure development.
Writing

Writing

During my undergraduate and PhD training, I developed strong writing and editing skills through extensive experience with academic and scientific writing. I help students with academic writing, including argumentative and analytical essays, research papers, and lab reports. I can assist with organizing ideas, developing thesis statements, improving clarity, and integrating sources effectively. My goal is to help students become more confident, clear, and effective writers.
