I believe science becomes more approachable when students are given the tools to think critically and learn independently. My tutoring focuses not just on mastering content, but on building study strategies and confidence that support long-term success.

I hold a Ph.D. in Plant Genetics from UC Berkeley and a B.S. in Biology from New York University. I’ve taught advanced biology and environmental science at the college level, supported hundreds of students in large lecture courses, and received a teaching award for my work. I also bring real-world experience as a computational biologist, using Python, R, and machine learning in genetics and biotech.

Whether you're working through biology fundamentals or exploring data science applications in the life sciences, I’ll help you reach your goals with clarity and encouragement.

Botany

Botany

I earned my Ph.D. in Plant Genetics from UC Berkeley, where I focused on how plants interact with their environment at the genetic level. I’ve taught college botany courses like “The Secret Life of Plants,” helping students understand everything from plant anatomy to photosynthesis and evolution. My goal is to make plant biology engaging and approachable, whether you're prepping for a test or just curious about how the green world works. With experience in both teaching and research, I bring a well-rounded, supportive approach to learning botany.
