About
I graduated with a BA in Neuroscience and Behavior from Columbia University and am now working on my MD. I have experience tutoring and interacting with students of all ages, and I specialize in standardized testing and math.
I believe in a growth mindset, a mindset that allows students to continually develop their talents; our abilities come from within and should not be hindered by external factors. I know that I can help my students achieve their fullest potential.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

My favorite part about tutoring is seeing how much my students have grown! Knowing that I'm making tangible change in a student's learning process is most gratifying.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When I work with a new student, I always speak with them to gauge their current knowledge and learning habits. I then work to curate a personalized curriculum and study plan based on their individual needs.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I studied Neuroscience and Behavior at Columbia University. My high school's and Columbia's emphases on a holistic education have allowed me to cultivate not only my knowledge of STEM, but also my skills in the liberal arts. For example, Columbia requires all undergraduates to take a University Writing course as well as literature courses covering texts from Aristotle to Shakespeare to Toni Morrison.
I am also proficient in Mandarin and Spanish.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with students of all ages, from elementary schoolers to high schoolers. I specialize in SAT and standardized test prep.
