I have spent the past five years working as a tutor with students ranging from fourth grade through college, primarily in mathematics and the sciences. I graduated from Cornell University with a strong academic background in biology, immunology, and protein chemistry, and later earned a second degree in computer science and mathematics from SUNY Brockport. This interdisciplinary training allows me to support students across a wide range of STEM subjects with both depth and clarity. I have worked with more than 30 students in one-on-one and small-group settings, including algebra (grades 8–10), trigonometry (grades 10–11), and calculus (grades 11–12). During the COVID period, I also led a four-student tutoring pod, adapting instruction to a collaborative and remote format.
In addition to secondary-level math, I have helped college students with chemistry, biochemistry, and biology, particularly in courses that require strong analytical and problem-solving skills. My tutoring approach is shaped by the belief that effective teaching is about understanding, not memorization. I focus on explaining how and why concepts work, guiding students through structured practice, and encouraging them to articulate their reasoning so they develop confidence and independence.
What sets me apart as a tutor is my emphasis on critical thinking and long-term skill building. I tailor each session to the student’s age, goals, and learning style, whether they need foundational support or advanced enrichment. My goal is to help students not only perform better academically, but also become confident, self-directed learners who can carry these skills into future coursework and beyond.
