As a dedicated educator with a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Maryland and graduate and undergraduate degrees from Johns Hopkins University, I am super enthusiastic and motivated about all things science, especially biology and chemistry, and math from algebra to calculus. I love teaching to inspire the next generation of scientists and ground-breakers in the field to bring us new advancements and achievements. My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating a supportive environment where students feel encouraged to engage deeply with challenging concepts. I prioritize understanding each student's unique learning style, allowing me to tailor my methods for maximum impact. My background in both tutoring and classroom instruction enables me to connect theoretical knowledge with real-world applications effectively.
I am a science teacher for grades 7-12 at a classical learning academy. I am understanding of all learning comprehension levels and am very patient with students requiring extra guidance and explanations of hard-to-grasp topics. I am quite adaptable in which I can easily determine if a student seems to understand a topic well in which case we will move on to other questions or if a student is struggling I will be able to break it down more simply for them. I also want my students to be vocal with me about what they are really struggling with so we can make the most use of the tutoring session time that we have together. I prefer to be sent materials at least a few hours before our session so I come prepared and laser-focused on the topic that the student would like extra help with.
Beyond tutoring, I am passionate about exploring scientific literature and discussing emerging technologies, which not only enriches my own understanding but also inspires my students to cultivate their curiosity and love for science. Moreover, I love going to the gym, playing golf, and hiking when I am not tinkering around in the lab or visiting museums in the area.
