I am an undergraduate at New York University focusing on computational biology and computer science. My coursework includes calculus, statistics, general and organic chemistry, molecular and cell biology, data structures, and algorithms. I have also conducted computational biology research at Harvard Medical School, NYU Langone Health, and Yonsei University, applying programming and statistical methods to real scientific problems. This experience reinforces my fluency in the subjects I tutor and helps me connect classroom material to practical applications.
I previously taught at Empow Studios, where I led computer science curriculum for students ages 6 to 11. I taught Python fundamentals, variables, loops, conditionals, functions, and basic object-oriented concepts, through project-based lessons designed to engage younger learners. I worked in both small group and one-on-one formats, adapting my style to each student's pace and managing classroom dynamics across week-long camp sessions.
I also volunteer as a tutor for SAT Math and AP Sciences (Biology and Chemistry), primarily with high school students in one-on-one and small group settings. My approach emphasizes building conceptual understanding before drilling problem sets, since students retain material better when they understand why a method works rather than memorizing steps. For SAT Math, I focus on identifying recurring problem patterns, time-management strategies, and each student's specific weak areas.
Across all subjects and age groups, my method centers on three principles: meeting students at their current level, using concrete examples to make abstract concepts accessible, and progressively building toward independent problem-solving. I check for understanding frequently rather than assuming comprehension, and adjust pacing in real time. With younger students I rely on visual aids and hands-on activities; with high schoolers I focus on diagnostic review, structured practice, and reasoning aloud through challenging problems.
