I am currently an undergraduate student at Villanova University, majoring in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience on the pre-medical track. I graduated from Morris Knolls High School's Math and Science Magnet Program, where I completed 13 Advanced Placement courses and earned recognition as a National Merit Commended Student and AP Scholar. My academic background includes advanced coursework in biology, chemistry, calculus, statistics, psychology, and English. These experiences have given me a strong foundation in the subjects I tutor, particularly mathematics and the sciences, as well as an understanding of the challenges students face when learning difficult material.
Throughout high school, I gained experience providing academic support through peer tutoring and community service. As a member of Mu Alpha Theta, the mathematics honor society, I participated in tutoring initiatives that helped fellow students strengthen their mathematical understanding. I also co-founded Athletes Without Barriers, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting underserved student-athletes through academic assistance, athletic opportunities, and mentorship. Through these experiences, I developed an appreciation for individualized instruction, patience, and the importance of helping students build confidence in their abilities.
My tutoring approach emphasizes understanding concepts rather than simply memorizing formulas or procedures. I begin by identifying a student's strengths, areas for improvement, and preferred learning methods. From there, I break challenging topics into manageable steps, use practical examples, and encourage students to explain their reasoning. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Whether preparing for an upcoming exam, completing practice problems, or strengthening foundational knowledge, my goal is to create a supportive, engaging learning environment that helps each student become a more confident and independent learner.
