I hold a B.A. in Anthropology with a minor in Biology from Dartmouth College, an M.A. in Migration & Diaspora Studies from SOAS University of London, and I am currently a second-year medical student at Oregon Health & Science University. My academic training has given me extensive experience in analytical reading, academic and creative writing, and standardized test preparation, particularly for the SAT and MCAT.

I have tutored and mentored high school, college, and post-baccalaureate students in both one-on-one and small group settings for over five years. My work has included preparing students for the verbal and writing sections of the SAT, guiding pre-med students through MCAT content review and test strategies, and supporting academic writing across disciplines. I have also coordinated educational workshops for high school students, assisted peers in mastering complex science material, and led outreach programs that developed study skills and confidence in learners from diverse backgrounds.

My tutoring approach is student-centered and adaptive: I begin by assessing a student’s strengths, areas for improvement, and learning style, then design a tailored plan with clear goals, targeted practice, and regular feedback. I incorporate active learning techniques, real-world examples, and test-taking strategies to ensure students not only understand the material but can apply it effectively under exam conditions.
