I am a Cornell University student studying Human Biology, Health, and Society, and I earned a 35 on the ACT. I have a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, math, and writing, and I enjoy helping students understand these subjects in a clear and simple way. My goal is always to make confusing topics feel manageable and build real confidence.

I gained teaching experience through STEM outreach and mentoring programs, where I worked with students of different ages and learning styles. I focus on breaking down concepts step by step, checking understanding as we go, and teaching students how to approach problems rather than just memorize answers. This approach has helped students improve their test scores and feel more prepared for assessments.

My tutoring style is calm, supportive, and straightforward. I keep sessions focused on understanding, not stress, and I make sure students walk away feeling more in control of the material. Whether someone needs help with a specific class or wants to strengthen overall study habits, I work to make the learning process easier and more effective.
