Bio

I am a third-year dental student at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, where I am ranked among the top of my class in a rigorous, medical-school–style curriculum. I earned a 25 Academic Average and a 27 Total Science on the DAT, and scored an 85 on the CBSE. My academic success is grounded in a deep understanding of both the sciences and standardized test strategy.

I am a third-year dental student at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, where I am ranked among the top of my class in a rigorous, medical-school–style curriculum. I earned a 25 Academic Average and a 27 Total Science on the DAT, and scored an 85 on the CBSE. My academic success is grounded in a deep understanding of both the sciences and standardized test strategy. Prior to dental school, I graduated with a 4.0 science GPA from the Macaulay Honors College at Brooklyn College.

I have over five years of private tutoring experience and three years of classroom teaching, working with high school, college, and post-baccalaureate students. My tutoring specialties include pre-med and pre-dental subjects, the DAT, MCAT, CBSE, Step 1, and NCLEX preparation. I help smart, motivated students overcome common pitfalls in standardized exams by teaching them to recognize and avoid predictable test traps. My approach is strategic, supportive, and results-oriented—I emphasize content mastery while building each student’s confidence and motivation.

I’ve successfully mentored students aiming for competitive health professional programs, and I take pride in guiding them not just toward higher scores, but toward greater academic independence. Whether in one-on-one sessions or small group settings, my goal is always to help students exceed their own expectations.
