I'm a Computer Science graduate of Harvard College (Class of 2026) with hands-on industry and research experience that shapes how I tutor both programming and math. I worked as a Software Engineer Intern at AbbVie and Disney Streaming, where I built and tested full-stack applications, and I currently work as a Research Intern at Harvard Medical School (McLean Hospital), where I lead product and engineering for a clinical cognitive assessment software platform.

I'm a Computer Science graduate of Harvard College (Class of 2026) with hands-on industry and research experience that shapes how I tutor both programming and math. I worked as a Software Engineer Intern at AbbVie and Disney Streaming, where I built and tested full-stack applications, and I currently work as a Research Intern at Harvard Medical School (McLean Hospital), where I lead product and engineering for a clinical cognitive assessment software platform.
As a first-generation college student and Harvard Emerging Scholar, I know firsthand how intimidating technical subjects can feel when you don't have anyone at home who's already been through it, and that perspective directly shapes how I teach. I never assume a student "should already know" something, and instead of re-explaining from the top, I look for the exact point where their understanding broke down. My teaching style is rooted in active, one-on-one engagement rather than passive lecturing. In sessions, I lean heavily on worked examples, ask guiding questions instead of simply handing over answers, and have students explain concepts back to me in their own words, since that's usually where the real gaps in understanding surface.
Whether a student is debugging their very first program, working through a tricky math problem, my goal is always to build both their technical skills and their confidence, so they leave each session not just with the right answer, but with the ability to tackle similar problems on their own going forward.
