About
As a Master's student earning a degree in Physiology and Biophysics, I have an advanced understanding of multiple forms of Biology through the college level. As a pre-medicine graduate, I can teach Math up to a Pre-Calculus mastery, statistics to an AP Statistics level, and English up to an AP Language level. I am also experienced in college counseling and essay writing, and have advised many applications successfully. I bring a diversity of experience to the table, and am extremely patient with my students. I have multiple years of tutoring experience and know how to explain concepts in an easy to understand manner. I teach for mastery, not surface level understanding. I ensure all my students walk away with a full understanding of the content. I am confident enough in my ability that if parent or student feels it is a waste of time, I'm more than happy to give your money back. Feel free to call or text me anytime at: 703-832-7767.

Teaching is the most beautiful form of knowledge exchange. It is a way for the teacher to reinforce their mastery of what they know, and to pass on priceless knowledge to the future leaders of tomorrow. I see no better way of making the world a better place than by passing down knowledge this way.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I will usually ask students to show me how much they know with the topic they need help on. I observe a student's analytical process as they solve problems/answer questions. After observing a few iterations of this, I will ask pointed questions about the material to the student. Based on this, I can gauge where a student needs to start working. Not all students are created equal. Different students require different teaching styles, and so I cater my teaching to the individual. For more visual-based learners, I'm happy to draw diagrams and use visual aids to guide them to understanding. For more reasoning based students, I like to use analogies and metaphors to explain concepts. Practice and study time makes perfect, so I ensure that a student is assigned work to do before our next session, so they retain and master what we discussed. I also believe in active engagement, and am happy to text or call with a student even in off hours to clarify small concepts and answer questions.

Look for someone with direct experience in the subject, and the results to show for it.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
How can I best make use of my time with a tutor? What questions do I have before tutoring begins? What is my learning style? What pace do I need to be taught at? What materials do I need to make my tutor aware of?
