Hello! I’m a graduate of Princeton University and current MD student at Weill Cornell.
I have been teaching students since my sophomore year in high school. I enjoy teaching because I love being on the other end of the learning process. In the classroom, I study very hard to learn material, but teaching students allows me to pass on this knowledge in a meaningful way. I am comfortable teaching chemistry, biology, neuroscience, Chinese, writing, math, and music theory. I have challenged myself to deeply understand throughout my educational experience so far. I understand where students can have difficulties, and I can adapt quickly to present the information effectively.
Additionally, I enjoy developing connections with students because they all have unique personalities, interests, and ideas. The students have their own journey, and I hope to impart some of my experiences to help make their lives easier.
