Growing up in Los Angeles, California, I was the eldest of four siblings. Having parents that immigrated to the United States at a later age, they could only understand and give us so much growing up. Once my sibling started 1st grade, I unofficially began my teaching and tutoring path. Although it was a difficult task for a child, I do not regret the situation I was in. This kickstarted my love for academics and allowed me to learn multiple ways to teach and guide, no matter the subject or individual. It is safe to say that I did a great job with my siblings. One of my brothers is currently attending California State University of Long Beach, and the other was admitted to University of California, Santa Cruz for the 2023-24 school year. The youngest, my sister, is currently in 4th grade and is excelling in all academic aspects.
With over 10 official years of tutoring experience, I have developed a myriad of skills, and picked up many tools for helping students achieve their academic goals. As someone who navigates life with ADHD and OCD, I recognize the importance of having a concise structure, tailoring guidance and trying different learning strategies to help overcome challenges. By understanding each student’s unique learning style and tailoring my approach accordingly, I strive to make complex subjects more accessible and enjoyable. Whether you’re struggling with specific topics, preparing for exams, or simply seeking to strengthen and understand your learning style, I am dedicated to creating a supportive and engaging learning environment.
Although I am majoring in Biochemistry, my love for academics spans multiple subject areas. I specialize in tutoring Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Psychology, but am willing to try different subjects if I feel comfortable.
Because I believe that education should be accessible, I personally provide a sliding scale available to low-income and BIPOC. If you are part of that demographic, please do not hesitate to include that in our correspondence.
Students should feel comfortable asking questions, exploring new concepts, and building their confidence. Let’s embark on this learning journey together and unlock your academic potential!

I was raised in Springfield, Illinois and I’ve spent the better part of my time as a student moonlighting as a tutor. I have over 13 years of education and tutoring experience, which began for me as a high school student. While I pursued my Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry in Pennsylvania, I continued to work as a STEM tutor and writing center staff member. After that, I decided to pursue my Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Biochemistry while working as employee at University of Oregon.
Over the years, I’ve found that the most rewarding part of tutoring is witnessing students build confidence in themselves as learners. I love being there when a concept that once felt confusing suddenly makes sense, and I do my best to create environments where those “lightbulb moments” happen often. I’m happy to be part of someone’s learning journey in a variety of subjects including Math, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and English. I also am able to assist in both test preparation for the ACT, SAT, AP tests, and the GRE as well as copy editing services for writing assignments.
My approach is student-centered: every learner has their own pace, strengths, and style, so I adapt lessons to fit what works best for you. Sometimes that means breaking down a big topic into smaller, more manageable steps; other times it’s about finding creative examples or hands-on practice to make the material come alive.
I believe that education and learning should be open, equitable, and accessible to everyone. Income or circumstance should never be a limitation for knowledge. I personally offer a sliding scale system for pricing. I also understand the importance of learning differences and am happy to adapt my approaches so that every student has the tools to thrive. My goal is for students to leave each session feeling clearer, more confident, and ready to take the next step.

I’ve had lots of opportunities in my life to learn and to teach, and it’s what I enjoy most! I started tutoring around 10 years ago as a high school student in Northern California. In college in Utah, I became a teaching assistant to several physics professors, as well as continuing to tutor in private. I also spent two years as a volunteer teacher in Peru, where I got to experience life in a culture and language very different from my home. After finishing my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physics, I moved to the University of Oregon. Here, I’m a graduate student and employee in physics, teaching introductory physics labs and taking classes to earn my degree.
What I find most fulfilling about teaching, especially in one-on-one tutoring sessions, is exploring ideas in a way that the student understands. When I’m working through a problem with a student, I ask them to step back and think about the concepts they’re applying. I work with students to improve both their grades and their confidence in the material. I’m comfortable tutoring students in a variety of subjects, especially physics, math, and Spanish. I graduated cum laude with a major in physics, a minor in math, and certificates in both Spanish and Portuguese, so these subjects are all very familiar to me. I can also help with test prep for AP tests, the SAT or the ACT. I was able to earn a top score of 5 on nine AP tests, as well as perfect scores on the ACT, SAT, and GRE, so I’m confident in helping students improve their test performance.
I understand that everyone’s academic journey is different. As I, along with several friends and family members, have dealt with neurodivergence and its effects on learning, I have learned that different strategies work for different people. My goal is to help you find your strengths and gain the confidence that you need to fulfill your potential
