I am a dedicated tutor with a deep love for math and science and a strong background in both academic coaching and research. My journey in education has been incredibly rewarding, from supporting learners in advanced math topics like calculus and differential equations to helping students build confidence in their SAT/ACT prep. I focus on creating a positive and engaging learning environment where complex concepts become clear and manageable.

I am currently finishing a degree in Chemical Engineering with a minor in mathematics, and I have been tutoring students for the past 6 years. In that time, I’ve worked with a wide range of learners, adapting my methods to fit individual needs. I believe that every student has a unique way of learning, so I customize my lesson plans to suit each person, whether it’s through visual aids, hands-on problem-solving, or step-by-step guidance. I also have experience working with individuals with learning disabilities, collaborating closely with families and educators to provide the best support possible.

What drives me is seeing that “aha!” moment when something challenging suddenly makes sense. I aim to foster not just better grades but also a deeper understanding and appreciation for math and science. My goal is to empower learners to reach their fullest potential with a blend of patience, creativity, and real-world knowledge.

Approved Subjects

Calculus

Calculus

I have extensive experience tutoring both high school and college-level calculus, helping students grasp complex concepts through clear, step-by-step guidance. I worked as an academic coach at a college, where I got certified to teach up to Differential Equations. With a background in biomedical engineering, I incorporate real-world examples to make calculus more relatable and engaging.
Chemical Engineering

Chemical Engineering

I am a Chemical Engineering student at Carnegie Mellon University with coursework in Intro to Chemical Engineering, process flow diagrams and balances, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Math Methods in ChemE. These classes gave me a strong foundation in core problem solving, including material and energy balances, fluid flow, thermodynamic analysis, and the mathematical tools used across ChemE courses. I am especially comfortable helping students break down multi-step problems, connect equations to physical meaning, and build clean solution methods they can reuse on homework and exams. My background is best suited for students in introductory and intermediate undergraduate chemical engineering courses.
Differential Equations
