About
Hello everyone, I am a masters sudent getting my degree in Neuroengineering at USC. I have been tutoring kids in math and the sciences for about 5 years now. I absolutely love teaching other kids- it is a great feeling when they get that "AHA moment" and that is why I do what I do. If you are interested, I would be glad to send over my contact info as well as my LinkedIn profile. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to first sit down and discuss the resources that their school gives them. With that, I will develop a plan on the best way to approach the class. I think the best way to learn is to interact and teach someone else. So I will have the students study the plan I create for them and then they will go ahead and teach me what they learned (as if they are the teachers). I will develop the best way to condense the information given by the books, so they can better understand the material.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I got my BS degree in Neuroscience and I am currently getting my masters degree in Neuroengineering at USC. I have been tutoring kids from the age of 8-21 year olds for about 5 years now. I enjoy teaching and helping others to excel in their line of field! Being a young tutor, I am very fresh on all the material the kids learn since I am a student myself.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My standard pricing will be $15 an hour (this will depend on the intensity of the class). I am willing to give a trial week period to see if we are the best fit.
How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching little kids at a tutoring center when I just graduated high school. In college, I tutored kids my own age because that was the best way to learn. Now, this has developed into a passion and is something I am good at. Teaching others has always been a strong suit of mine and I enjoy doing it!
What types of students have you worked with?
I have been tutoring kids from the age of 8-21 year olds for about 5 years now.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
One piece of advice I would give is to pick a tutor that they can enjoy learning with. If you don't enjoy what you are learning, then it becomes hard to excel.
