I recently completed a Master of Science in Scientific Computing from New York University’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences after earning dual degrees in Physics and Mathematics from Cornell University. My academic background has given me extensive experience in advanced mathematics, physics, computer science, numerical methods, machine learning, and scientific programming. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, I worked on research projects involving mathematical modeling, data analysis, simulation, and machine learning, including research experiences at Cornell University and NASA. In high school, I scored a 1560 on the SAT and earned scores of 5 on AP Physics C, AP Calculus BC, and AP Computer Science.
I have several years of teaching and tutoring experience working with students in both classroom and one-on-one settings. At NYU, I served as a teaching assistant for courses in calculus, fluid dynamics, and atmospheric science, where I led recitations, held office hours, graded assignments, and created instructional materials. At Cornell, I provided private tutoring in statistics and financial modeling. These experiences allowed me to work with students from a wide range of academic backgrounds, from introductory STEM courses to advanced quantitative subjects.
My teaching philosophy is centered on developing a strong conceptual foundation rather than relying on memorization alone. I help students break complex problems into smaller, manageable pieces while emphasizing the broader ideas that connect individual topics. By understanding both the details and the larger context, I have found students gain the confidence to approach unfamiliar problems independently. Whether a student is seeking help with high school mathematics, SAT preparation, college-level physics, calculus, differential equations, programming, or machine learning, my goal is to help them build lasting problem-solving skills and achieve their academic goals.
