Having tutored and TA’d extensively through high school in subjects ranging from math to physics to chemistry to Chinese to test prep, I am excited to not only continue helping students develop mastery of the subjects themselves, but also inspire them to become lifelong learners. I love working with students ranging from primary school-aged to 12th graders and believe in proactively adapting my teaching style to best suit each student’s unique needs. Beyond an academic setting, I hope to also build meaningful interpersonal connections and friendships with the students I work with in ways that transcend the classroom.
I am fascinated by the biomedical applications of engineering, as well as neuroscience. Additionally, I am an avid pianist and enjoy listening to and playing music in my free time.
