Profile Details

Experience Summary

Attended Princeton for molecular biology. Completed the IB program in high school as salutatorian out of 500+. Tutored since HS (2004), specializing in math and science for students in grades 6-12 or college / grad school. In Chicago since 2017, I've worked with students in CPS, Latin, Parker, Lycee Francais, St Ignatius, DePaul, and Northwestern.

Teaching Style

Focused and encouraging, enthusiastic and personable, I've helped students reach that "light-bulb moment" countless times. I've got your back! Content knowledge is only part of the puzzle, though; problem-solving skills are crucial, so I share tactics on being methodical and help in constructing a system. Check my testimonials to hear from my students! Effective tutoring is not a one-off, stopgap solution; I often end up working with my students long-term, through their high-school and early-college years.

Other Comments

* HOW TO WORK WITH ME * Message me with 2-3 suggestions for day+time. I'm amenable to a free, 10-minute intro talk by phone/Zoom; provide your phone number, not email. * FAQs * Sessions are typically 1-2 hours, 1-2x weekly, for homework, subject-material guidance, and test review. But it's up to you! I don't provide materials, although I can give suggestions. We use Google Meet for face-to-face interaction and screen-sharing, as well as an online whiteboard where we post documents, paste screenshots, and see each other’s writing in real time.
