Patient Math Tutor Grades 6-12, IXL Certified
I’m a patient and dedicated tutor who loves helping students turn math struggles into successes. Whether your child has learning differences or simply needs a steady, experienced guide who connects well with young people, I’d be honored to help them build confidence and skill in math. Many of my students stay with me from middle school through high school, and I treasure those long-term relationships — watching their abilities, independence, and problem-solving confidence grow over time. My love for teaching began in Baltimore, volunteering as a math and reading tutor for inner-city youth — a rewarding challenge that sharpened my ability to spot learning gaps and adapt lessons creatively. Since then, I’ve logged over 10,000 hours of tutoring, using platforms such as Wyzant and Varsity Tutors, and in-person with more than 100 local students. Before becoming a full-time tutor, I spent nearly 20 years as a molecular biology and genetics researcher at Johns Hopkins Medical School and Duke Medical Center, co-authoring articles in top scientific journals. My background in laboratory research demanded precision, logical problem-solving, and clear communication — the same skills essential for mastering mathematics. I help students see that math is more than numbers; it’s a powerful tool used to solve real-world problems in science, technology, and beyond. I bring this mindset to every lesson, helping students build both skill and real-world appreciation for math.

UCLA Student Specializing in Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Math, & ACT
Hi! I’m a student at UCLA studying Psychobiology, where I’ve maintained a 4.0 GPA across a range of challenging subjects, including general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, biochemistry, math, and physics. My academic journey has been marked by success, having earned As in all my courses, as well as scoring 5s on the AP exams in AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Calculus AB/BC, and AP Physics. Additionally, I achieved a 35 on the ACT and ranked in the 97th percentile on the MCAT. With over eight years of tutoring experience, I’ve worked with more than 120 clients, helping them excel in subjects like chemistry, biology, math, physics, the ACT, and MCAT. My approach focuses on simplifying complex concepts, fostering understanding, and building confidence. In addition to one-on-one tutoring, I have developed comprehensive AP Chemistry and AP Biology curricula from scratch for a nonprofit, tailoring them to meet the needs of students aiming for top scores. Beyond tutoring, I am also actively involved in cancer research at UCLA and UCSF, focusing on molecular biology and cancer pathways. This hands-on experience, coupled with my academic background, gives me a deep understanding of the biological sciences, making me uniquely qualified to help students navigate their coursework and standardized exams. I also offer college counseling services, drawing on my experience interviewing at six Ivy League schools and being admitted to multiple top-tier universities. I know firsthand how to navigate the competitive admissions process and can help students craft compelling applications, ace their interviews, and stand out in the pool of applicants. I’m passionate about education and take pride in being a friendly, approachable tutor. My goal is to make learning enjoyable while helping students achieve their academic goals and perform at their best. Looking forward to helping you succeed!
