About Me

I am a certified teacher with 6 years of experience in Texas public schools and in international schools teaching Secondary Math and Sciences including Physics, Biology, and Chemistry. I have a bachelor's degree and an MBA. I have a working background in the medical field. I tutor grades 4-12 and adults in Math and Science.

Tutoring Style

In my tutoring sessions, I prioritize a student-centered approach that revolves around the unique learning needs and goals of each individual. I firmly believe in fostering a supportive environment where students are encouraged to actively participate in their learning journey. By tailoring lessons to accommodate diverse learning styles and preferences, I aim to empower students to grasp concepts more effectively and build confidence in their academic abilities. Through personalized guidance and constructive feedback, I strive to cultivate a collaborative relationship that inspires curiosity and a deeper understanding of the subject matter.

Success Story

One of my favorite success stories was when I helped a high school Chemistry student. The student was a professional tennis player and missed a lot of class. Initially struggling with concepts like stoichiometry and solution chemistry, she was determined to improve. Through personalized tutoring sessions, I broke down complex topics into manageable steps, using visual aids and real-life examples to make the material more relatable. Witnessing her growing confidence and understanding was immensely rewarding. Her progress was evident not only in her improved grades but also in her enthusiasm for learning chemistry. Her success reinforced my passion for helping students overcome challenges and achieve their academic goals.

Hobbies & Interests

I love animals, and I have one dog. I love traveling to new countries and experiencing new cultures. I also enjoy reading historical fiction, watching true crime documentaries, and making jewelry. I am currently taking courses in data analytics.
