About
I am a former graduate from Harvard University where I double-majored in Music and Human Developmental and Regenerative Biology with an interest in Medicine. I currently obtained my Master’s degree in Performance Studies from New York University (NYU) at the Tisch School of Performing Arts. I went to high school at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts where I studied Piano, Voice, and Medicine.
I am extremely passionate about education and making higher education opportunities available for those who aren’t easily able to access it. Everyone should have a chance to be the best they can be! My tutoring specialties range from Essay Writing, College Admissions Preparation, Speech and Debate, English Language Acquisition, Humanities, Biology, Entrepreneurship, Math and anything Music related!
I have earned various academic and artistic awards with a few being the Presidential Award for Exceptional Academic Achievement, The Outstanding Achievement Award at the NYU Entrepreneur Lab, and the Richard T. Greener Award for increasing diversity in the arts at Harvard University. I am also the CEO of my startup, ClassiX, which aims to provide a Classical Fine Arts Education to those who are in need.

How did you get started teaching?
I started teaching at an independent contracting tutoring agency called SetSail LLC, where I was the Head instructor for international students and worked on curriculum development for ELA learning and College interview preparation. I also taught the fundamentals of the English Language and introduced the best practices for Speech and debate elements and tactics.
Doing so has inspired me to continue teaching with different tutoring platforms and further incorporate my practices!

I have worked with students of all ages, with my youngest student being 8 and my oldest student being 18. Most of these students were also international students.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure you have a consultation to determine whether you connect with the teacher! It is very important to have a teacher who not only understands your work, but understands you.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are your overall goals for the subject you are studying? What specifically are you having trouble with or is challenging to you (the more specific the better you will receive services)?
