I’m currently a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania studying Computer Science, and I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Pittsburgh, where I studied Business Information Systems and Global Management and graduated with a 3.90 GPA. My academic background includes computer science, Python, SQL, data analytics, Excel, business, financial accounting, and introductory biology.
I have experience working directly with undergraduate students at the University of Pittsburgh. As a Teaching Assistant for Business Analytics, I helped college students understand Python, data analysis, and quantitative concepts through classroom instruction and individual assistance. I also worked as a grader for a Database Management course, where I reviewed student work involving SQL, Excel, and database concepts. These experiences taught me how to identify where a student is struggling and explain challenging material in a clearer and more approachable way.
My tutoring style is patient, supportive, and adaptable to each student. I like to break difficult concepts into smaller steps, work through examples together, and then give students opportunities to apply what they have learned. If one explanation does not make sense, I am happy to approach the concept differently or return to the fundamentals. Whether a student needs help understanding course material, completing practice problems, or preparing for an exam, my goal is to help them build both their understanding and their confidence.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

I have a strong academic foundation in introductory biology and have completed college-level biology coursework covering topics such as cell biology, genetics, evolution, and ecology. As a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania, I understand how important it is to break complex material into manageable concepts rather than simply memorize information. I also have previous university-level teaching experience as a Teaching Assistant at the University of Pittsburgh, where I worked directly with undergraduate students and helped explain challenging concepts. My tutoring approach is patient and step-by-step, with an emphasis on helping students understand the reasoning behind biological concepts and feel more confident applying what they learn.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

I have a strong interest in science and enjoy helping young students build a solid foundation in scientific concepts. I focus on making topics such as biology, Earth science, physical science, and the human body easy to understand through clear explanations and real-world examples. My approach emphasizes patience, encouragement, and adapting lessons to each student's individual learning style. My goal is to help students develop confidence, curiosity, and a genuine excitement for learning science.
Financial Accounting

Financial Accounting

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the University of Pittsburgh, where I graduated with a 3.90 GPA and completed coursework in accounting and other core business subjects. My business background gave me experience with financial statements, the accounting equation, journal entries, and other foundational financial accounting concepts. I also have university-level teaching experience as a Teaching Assistant, where I helped undergraduate students work through quantitative and analytical material. I focus on breaking accounting problems into clear, step-by-step processes so students understand both how to solve a problem and why the accounting principles work.
