About
I’m a high school student who recently scored a 35 on the ACT and preparing for the AP exam in May. I have an A in AP biology and Chemistry and a 4.0 unweighted GPA. I help struggling high school biology students better understand concepts to score better on their exams.
What I love about teaching is that “aha” moment in the student when everything comes together and makes sense. It’s a really rewarding experience and it helps me do better in my own class as well.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
What’s worked best for me in the past is having my students ask the questions and explain back to me the concepts, and I help them fill in the blanks. It proves more effective than me lecturing the entire time.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I interned at a biotherapeutics company in the summer of 2018. I ended Honors Biology with an A, and have an A currently in AP Biology. I studied extensively for the Bio Olympiad in February 2019 and am studying now for the SAT II and AP exam.
How did you get started teaching?
I am in the tutoring club at my school, where I taught math to underclassmen. I’ve taught piano to children, and tutored many of my freshman friends outside of the club in honors biology. I also tutor for Science National Honors Society.
What types of students have you worked with?
I’ve worked with a variety of students, from kindergartners to middle schoolers to high school freshmen and sophomores.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I’m here to answer any questions; no question is “stupid”. It’s better to ask plenty of questions than to struggle through something alone or get them wrong.
