We’ll talk about the student’s learning style, interests, challenges, and goals, as well as the subject and support they’re looking for.
We’ll discuss the student’s needs and decide how to focus our sessions.
Sessions can combine discussion, practice, and review, with room to adjust along the way.
I start by asking questions and inviting students to explain what they already know, so we can build on their understanding. For test preparation, we explore the topic together, work through practice problems, and review what we’ve learned. For assignments, I offer guidance and new ways of thinking while the student stays involved in the work.
A clear plan and effective time management can make a meaningful difference in academic success. I help students identify what to focus on, find study methods that work for them, and allocate their time in a way that feels manageable.
When a topic feels frustrating, I bring patience and a calm approach, adapting explanations and incorporating the student’s interests. My goal is to help students develop confidence, curiosity, and an understanding that stays with them beyond the next test.
In a world where quick answers are easy to find, I believe there is lasting value in understanding how and why things work. By making material approachable and engaging, I hope to spark curiosity and help students discover the joy of learning. Together, we build the critical-thinking skills and confidence to explore ideas, ask questions, and carry that understanding beyond the classroom.
Based in Newport Beach, California, I studied Cell and Molecular Biology at Barnard College and am pursuing a Master’s in Epidemiology at Columbia University. My tutoring experience spans high school, college, and graduate school, including work with a tutoring organization. I’m now offering private tutoring for students from kindergarten through college, including children with learning disabilities.
Outside of tutoring, I enjoy swimming in the Pacific, exploring new coffee shops, and trying out new hobbies. Lately, I’ve been teaching myself guitar and giving woodworking a try. I also love listening to podcasts, especially Hidden Brain, TED Radio Hour, and The Joy of Why.
