I am currently a PhD candidate in Physical Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania. With over four years of experience teaching and tutoring at the college level, I have worked with students in general chemistry, physics, biology, as well as advanced organic and physical chemistry. My approach to teaching is grounded in connecting new content to concepts the student already understands. This method helps students move beyond memorization and develop true chemical reasoning—the ability to think critically and solve problems, even when they haven't seen a particular question before.
Throughout my academic career, I’ve taught both introductory and advanced chemistry courses at UPenn and tutored extensively during my undergraduate studies. My teaching philosophy focuses on building a deep understanding of the material, which fosters both confidence and long-term mastery.
In addition to my academic work, I’ve conducted research in both university labs and the pharmaceutical industry, gaining hands-on experience in applying physical chemistry principles to real-world problems.
Beyond chemistry, I am also proficient in mathematics, including linear algebra and calculus, and I enjoy helping students integrate these tools into their scientific understanding.
