Helping students discover their inner problem solver and grow confident in their abilities is at the heart of why I teach. I believe every student has the potential to excel when given the right tools and support, and I’m passionate about unlocking that potential through personalized, engaging instruction. For over five years, I’ve worked with students across all ages—from elementary learners to college undergraduates—in both one-on-one and classroom settings, fostering not just academic success, but curiosity and confidence.

I hold a B.S. in Neuroscience and am a Master's student at Dartmouth. My tutoring journey began with Kumon and Best Brains, where I taught Math and Science to K–12 students, and has since expanded to include private tutoring in subjects such as Pre-Algebra, Algebra I & II, Precalculus, SAT/ACT Math and Reading/Writing, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, Neuroscience, Psychology, and English. As a current Teaching Assistant for Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience, I’ve led college-level sessions for over 100 students. I am also the founder of Youth for STEM Equity, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing hands-on, immersive STEM Escape Rooms to student as a way to learn. Furthermore, I am an educational researcher investigating how students from Kindergarten to college best retain and apply knowledge.

My teaching style is uniquely catered to each student’s learning needs. I take the time to understand how my students think, where they struggle, and what excites them—allowing me to craft lessons that effective. Whether you’re preparing for a major exam, aiming to becoming a A+ student, tackling a difficult subject, or simply trying to build confidence, I’m here to help you succeed with patience, clarity, and a genuine commitment to your growth because I am a student as well.
