I’ve always enjoyed helping people learn, especially in subjects that can initially feel overwhelming. After recently graduating with a science degree and scoring well on the DAT, I understand both the pressure and discipline that come with balancing difficult coursework and preparing for high-stakes exams. Throughout college, I found that the most effective studying came from having a clear plan, staying consistent, and learning how to approach challenging material with confidence instead of frustration. I’m especially strong in Biology, Reading Comprehension, and Organic Chemistry, and I enjoy helping students simplify complex topics into something manageable and achievable. My goal is to help students feel supported, motivated, and genuinely confident walking into test day.

In addition to my own academic experience, I have several years of teaching and tutoring experience. I served as a Chemistry Teaching Assistant, where I taught laboratory procedures, guided students through difficult concepts, and helped them build confidence in problem-solving. I was later selected to help train new teaching assistants because of my communication and leadership skills. I have also informally tutored peers in chemistry and anatomy, helping classmates break down complex material into concepts that actually make sense. Beyond science tutoring, I have spent two years teaching computer skills classes, which strengthened my ability to explain topics clearly, adapt to different learning styles, and keep students engaged.

My tutoring approach is centered around consistency, active practice, and long-term growth. I believe students learn best by working through problems regularly and building strong habits over time, not by cramming information the night before an exam. Because of this, my lessons include guided practice, strategy development, and homework assignments designed to reinforce what we cover during sessions. I also aim to empower students to become independent learners.

Approved Subjects

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have a ton of experience graphing, not just in my math classes but also in my science classes!
Chemistry

Chemistry

A’s in both General Chemistry classes which cover all the material of an AP chem class and more. I have proven to retain all of this knowledge by scoring exceptionally well on the chemistry section of the Dental Admissions test 3 years after having taken General Chemistry.
DAT (Dental)

DAT (Dental)

I studied for the DAT part time for 6 months before taking the exam. I scored well on every section and can tutor in any of the subject materials. I can also discuss timing for each section and specific strategies for each type of PAT question. The most important advice I can give is that everyone is smart enough to score well on the DAT; repeated practice and focused study on knowledge gaps are the secret sauce to scoring well. I can provide the guidance to help you absolutely CRUSH the DAT and move forward on your path to becoming a dentist.
