I have nearly 10 years of experience working with students of all ages and abilities; I have helped students succeed in challenging math and physics courses, dramatically improve their reading and writing skills, and raise their SAT scores by as much as 350 points.
It is a privilege to mentor students on their journey from the middle of their class to the top. The most rewarding part of this profession is seeing students discover what they are capable of achieving.

I have nearly 10 years of experience working with students of all ages and abilities; I have helped students succeed in challenging math and physics courses, dramatically improve their reading and writing skills, and raise their SAT scores by as much as 350 points.
It is a privilege to mentor students on their journey from the middle of their class to the top. The most rewarding part of this profession is seeing students discover what they are capable of achieving.
I graduated from Rutgers University in 2017 with a BS in Astrophysics and a BA in Philosophy. After scoring in the 98th percentile on the GRE, I attended Johns Hopkins University, where I earned my PhD in Philosophy in 2025.
My strength as a teacher is breaking difficult concepts down into clear, manageable pieces. I don't want students to simply memorize procedures or imitate solutions; I want them to understand the underlying ideas well enough to apply them independently. That requires explanation, practice, and a willingness to work through difficult problems rather than avoid them.
I also believe that academic success is as much about developing good habits and confidence as it is about mastering subject matter. I strive to help students become more independent learners: setting meaningful goals, developing effective study habits, practicing consistently, and learning how to persevere through challenging work.
My goal is ultimately not just to help students get better grades or higher test scores, but to help them become independent, lifetime learners.
