I am an incoming Computer Science student at Stanford University, having also been admitted to Carnegie Mellon and UC Berkeley. I graduated with a 4.0 GPA and a 1550 SAT (800 Math), earning AP scores of 5 in both Calculus AB and BC. My advanced coursework includes Algorithm Design, Machine Learning, Differential Equations, Discrete Mathematics, Advanced Physics, and Statistics & Data Science, giving me a strong foundation across all the subjects I tutor.
Over the past two years I have tutored peers informally at my high school in AP Calculus AB and BC, AP Computer Science, AP Physics, and Advanced Statistics. These sessions were one-on-one and small group, and I focused on building genuine conceptual understanding rather than test-taking shortcuts, walking students through the reasoning behind problems before drilling mechanics. In parallel, through the Music for Good initiative, I taught piano to younger children, which sharpened my ability to adapt explanations to different ages and learning styles.
Beyond academics, I bring real-world context to the subjects I teach. I conducted research at the Palau International Coral Reef Center, where I applied R statistical analysis and Python data pipelines to an active coral biology study, co-authoring a paper submitted to the journal Coral Reefs and contributing to a presentation accepted at the International Coral Reef Symposium 2026. I find that grounding abstract concepts in real applications, whether showing a calc student how derivatives model real phenomena, or explaining how statistics drives actual research, makes material click faster and stick longer.
