Bio

My specialty is turning intimidating STEM problems into clear, step-by-step ideas anyone can follow. I focus on understanding over memorizing, so you can solve problems you haven’t seen before, not just the ones we practice.

I’ve been tutoring and teaching for 5+ years, from elementary school through college. I was a teaching fellow for intro chemical engineering at UMBC, a STEM tutor at UMBC’s Academic Success Center, and a teaching assistant for engineering courses at NYU. I hold a B.S....

My specialty is turning intimidating STEM problems into clear, step-by-step ideas anyone can follow. I focus on understanding over memorizing, so you can solve problems you haven’t seen before, not just the ones we practice.

I’ve been tutoring and teaching for 5+ years, from elementary school through college. I was a teaching fellow for intro chemical engineering at UMBC, a STEM tutor at UMBC’s Academic Success Center, and a teaching assistant for engineering courses at NYU. I hold a B.S. in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from UMBC (with honors) and an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering from NYU Tandon (4.0 GPA).

In one-on-one sessions, I find where the confusion actually starts, which often goes unnoticed in a crowded classroom, and rebuild from there with examples, practice problems, and exam-style questions. I’m patient and methodical, and I don’t believe in shortcuts: if it makes sense, it sticks.

I work with high school and college students in Algebra through Calculus, General Chemistry, Physics, and intro engineering, and with younger students building math and reading foundations. Message me with your course and what’s coming up, and I’ll suggest a plan for our first session.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

I hold a Master's degree in Biomedical Engineering from NYU (4.0 GPA) and a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering from UMBC, so algebra has been a daily tool throughout my education and career. I've spent years applying algebraic problem-solving to real engineering work, from circuit design calculations to CAD modeling, which helps me connect abstract concepts to concrete, practical examples. I'm patient and enjoy breaking down problems step by step until they click, rather than just showing the answer. My goal is to help students build genuine confidence with the material, not just get through the current assignment.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I hold a Master's in Biomedical Engineering from NYU (4.0 GPA) and a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering from UMBC, both of which required extensive coursework built on Algebra 2 fundamentals like functions, systems of equations, and exponentials. I've applied these concepts directly in engineering work, from signal processing calculations to material property modeling. I like helping students see how the same math they're learning shows up in real, practical problems, which makes the abstract stuff easier to hold onto. I'm patient and focus on building real understanding rather than just getting through homework.
AutoCAD

AutoCAD

I am currently a graduate student in Biomedical Engineering at NYU and have strong experience using CAD tools including AutoCAD and Fusion 360 for engineering design and modeling. I serve as a teaching assistant for CAD-focused engineering courses, where I help students learn sketching, dimensioning, constraints, and 3D modeling concepts. I regularly guide students through assignments and projects, helping them troubleshoot designs and understand best practices for technical drawings. My teaching approach focuses on breaking down complex design workflows into clear, step-by-step processes so students can build confidence and independence in using CAD software.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

My Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering from UMBC included a Biotechnology and Bioengineering track with direct coursework in biochemistry, cell biology, and genetics. My Master's in Biomedical Engineering built on that foundation with hands-on work in biomaterials and hydrogel systems during my graduate research. I enjoy connecting biochemistry concepts to real biological systems and engineering applications, which helps make the material feel less abstract. I'm patient and focused on helping students build real understanding of the underlying mechanisms, not just memorize reactions.
Calculus

Calculus

Calculus was foundational throughout both my Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering and Master's in Biomedical Engineering (4.0 GPA, NYU), and I've applied it directly in work like modeling pressure-response relationships in MATLAB during my graduate research. I'm comfortable with both the theory and the real-world engineering applications, which helps me show students why calculus matters beyond the classroom. I focus on building intuition for concepts like derivatives and integrals rather than just memorizing formulas. I'm patient and enjoy working through problems step by step until they truly make sense.
Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from UMBC, where I built a strong foundation in core topics such as thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, and kinetics. During my undergraduate studies, I worked as both a tutor and a teaching fellow for an chemical engineering courses, where I led discussions, held office hours, and helped students understand complex concepts through step-by-step problem solving. I have experience supporting students in one-on-one and group settings, adapting my teaching style to different learning needs. My goal is to help students not only understand the material, but also develop confidence in applying engineering concepts independently.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from UMBC, which gave me deep, hands-on training in general and biochemical chemistry through coursework like Biochemistry and Biochemical Engineering. My graduate work in Biomedical Engineering also involved hands-on experience with biomaterials and hydrogel chemistry during my thesis research. I enjoy connecting chemistry concepts to real, tangible applications, which helps make abstract ideas easier to understand. I'm patient and focus on building genuine understanding of the underlying principles, not just memorizing formulas.
