I hold a Masters of Science in Mathematics from MIT and worked as a Teaching Fellow in the Physics Department at Harvard University. I performed research at CERN as part of the Medipix collaboration, developing numerical algorithms in C++ for charge carrier transport in silicon detectors, and have a peer-reviewed publication in numerical methods in quantum chemistry. I am a Barry M. Goldwater Scholar and MIT Presidential Fellow.
My teaching career spans twelve years across every level from middle school through graduate coursework. At Harvard, one of my students switched their major to physics and went on to pursue aerospace engineering at NASA. While at MIT, I mentored students in the Research Science Institute program whose projects earned Siemens Finalist recognition. These are the moments that keep me teaching.
My approach is built on first principles rather than memorization. I meet students where they are, adapt to their pace and background, and focus on building the kind of clear, structured thinking that makes hard problems tractable. I find that students who arrive anxious about calculus or physics leave with genuine confidence — not because the material got easier, but because it finally made sense.
My favorite subjects are calculus, classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and quantum mechanics. If you are preparing for an exam, working through a course that has gotten away from you, or simply want to understand the material deeply rather than just passing a test, I would be happy to help.
