am a practicing surgeon who graduated from Columbia with a BA in biology and NYU with my MD before doing my residency at NYU in the department of urology. I attended both public school and private school. I was a recruited D1 athlete. I have always loved to teach students of all ages and feel that my background has prepared me to understand a diversity of student motivations, goals, and learning styles. I have worked as a teaching assistant for a Columbia biology lab course, taught ESL to immigrants from China, and tutored extensively in math, science, and test prep. Sometimes, a little motivation is all that is needed for a student to excel, and I always work to relate what I am tutoring to a student's interests, both academic and extra-curricular. I love seeing a concept click and inspiring confidence in my students as they advance through increasingly difficult topics.

Approved Subjects

Chinese

My parents immigrated from Shanghai and I have grown up speaking the language. I studied simplified Mandarin formally for seven years and earned an 800 on the SAT 2, a 5 on the AP, and Advanced-Mid on the ACTFL Exam. I am confident in my ability to tutor all levels of simplified Mandarin in reading, writing, speaking, and test prep.

I have worked with students from age 10-18 on their common core requirements in a variety of subjects ranging from grade school level math and ELA to subject-specific test prep such as biology, algebra I, physics, chemistry, etc. I am well versed in the exams and curriculum and enjoy helping students meet their goals even if brought on last minute with a struggling student.

I majored in biology and was on the pre-med track at Columbia. I sat for the August 2014 exam and scored a 40 (13 PS, 13 VR, and 14 BS). I have tutored students before in this exam successfully and look forward to the chance to do so in the future!
