Hi! I’m a passionate science tutor with a strong background in biology and chemistry. I graduated from Brown University with Honors in Neurobiology, where I completed advanced coursework in Biochemistry, Neuroscience, Genetics, Organic Chemistry, and General Chemistry. I’m currently pursuing a Master’s in Biomedical Sciences at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

As a former Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Genetics, I spent a year helping students strengthen their problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Our teaching team led weekly problem-solving sessions, where I guided students one-on-one in developing strategies for approaching homework questions and understanding the reasoning behind each step. Before exams, we hosted comprehensive review sessions to reinforce key genetics concepts and help students connect ideas across different topics.

My tutoring approach centers on asking guiding questions that encourage students to think independently and make meaningful connections between concepts. I often use visual aids and diagrams to make complex topics more intuitive and easier to grasp. Above all, I aim to create a supportive, encouraging learning environment, providing constructive feedback and positive reinforcement to help students build confidence and enjoy learning.

Genetics

Genetics

I served as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Genetics at Brown University, where I helped students deepen their understanding of core genetics concepts and strengthen their problem-solving skills. Each week, I led problem-solving sessions that guided students through challenging homework questions and taught strategies for approaching complex problems critically. I also hosted review sessions before exams to help students connect key topics and reinforce foundational principles. In addition to my teaching experience, I excelled in advanced genetics coursework, including Human Genetics and Genomics, which further strengthened my expertise and ability to explain complex concepts clearly and effectively.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I graduated from Brown University with Honors in Neurobiology, where I concentrated in Neuroscience and developed a strong foundation in the biological mechanisms underlying brain function and behavior. I completed several advanced neuroscience courses, including topics in cellular, molecular, and systems neuroscience, and excelled in all of them, earning As across the board. My rigorous academic background has given me a deep understanding of complex neurological concepts, from synaptic signaling to neural circuitry. This expertise allows me to explain challenging material clearly and help students build meaningful connections between theory and application.
