I love tutoring math! I really enjoy the one-on-one and small-group teaching experiences. I have found it rewarding to create a collaborative environment in which students are comfortable, confident, and inspired. I am passionate about motivating students to learn in a supportive and caring environment. Although I am motivated to build up a student's confidence, I am also demanding and feel it is important to motivate them to reach their fullest potential. I enjoy challenging bright, motivated students, but I am also skilled at teaching students with executive functioning challenges, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, and those on the spectrum. Furthermore, I am skilled at bringing families--as well as a student's entire educational support team--into the learning process through collaboration and detailed feedback of the student's progress.

I am a graduate of The Johns Hopkins University where I received both my Bachelor of Arts in Neuroscience (2014) and my Master of Science in Biotechnology (2017). I am also very grateful and excited to begin medical school this coming fall. Throughout the years as a counselor/TA for various summer enrichment programs, as a volunteer mentor/tutor for underserved and disadvantaged high school students, and also as a private tutor, I have accumulated a wealth of experience working with K-12 students and undergraduate students as well as some experience working with children with learning differences.An extrovert by nature, I genuinely love interacting with others, which contributes to my passion for collaborating with my students toward their academic and personal goals. I think methodically and am detail oriented, which I believe helps me break down concepts and problem-solving strategies easily yet thoroughly for students. My tutoring style is encouraging and interactive with an emphasis on fostering confidence and strengthening critical thinking skills. Students can also expect me to support them in developing more effective organization and study skills if needed.My favorite school subjects to tutor are biochemistry, cell biology, and neuroscience, but I equally enjoy partnering with students to help them build confidence and best prepare for various standardized tests, especially the MCAT. Additionally, I am a skilled writer and enjoy assisting with all stages of a student's writing process, from idea organization and effective argumentation, to editing and proofreading.Aside from academics, I find balance and fulfillment through dance, yoga, and spending time with friends. I also enjoy meeting new people and I always have and always will love to read.

I have been teaching for eight years, and nothing brings me greater joy than watching students grow into the readers, writers, and thinkers I know they can be. Most of that growth happens because I try to make the teaching environment a safe, comfortable, laughter-filled place where students can explore new ideas and express their thoughts and feelings. I find poetry particularly useful for that, and over and over again I have seen how students who resisted poetry when they walked into my classroom left at the end of the term with the sense that they would be reading poetry for the rest of their lives.

However, the desire to pass on my love of math and science, and the ability to solve problems, prompted me to pursue a teaching career.

I have taught high school math, from PreAlgebra up to and including AP Calculus, as well as science, including Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
