"Hello! I've been a professional tutor since 2019, but I started teaching long before that. From mentoring younger debaters in high school to working as a TA & tutor at my medical school now, I have always found joy in helping people find their own verve for learning.
Through my experience teaching the SAT and ACT reading and writing sections, I developed a curriculum that has consistently yielded amazing results. I incorporate short conceptual lessons with actual test sections to cover the most commonly tested concepts thoroughly but efficiently; learning and practice happen concurrently to minimize the need for outside work.
In addition to test prep, I have experience teaching creative writing, biology, and essay writing and editing across K-12 grade levels. My goal whenever I teach is to help students develop study skills they will continue to use throughout their learning.
Apart from these subjects, I specialize in working with students who have ADHD and/or test anxiety, particularly for standardized testing. I myself was recently diagnosed with ADHD in late 2023, so I understand firsthand how the standard education system isn't designed to serve these students. I went undiagnosed for so long because I managed to develop tips and tricks to help me succeed; I can share these with you and help you come up with your own, too!
In terms of formal credentials, I graduated from Northwestern University in 2019 where I double majored in Biological Sciences and Creative Writing. I went on to graduate with a Masters of Biomedical Sciences from New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2022. Most recently, I am in the process of completing my medical school training where I continue to perform at the top of my class. I was able to achieve excellent test scores (SAT - 2310/2400; ACT - 36/36; MCAT - 516 (92nd percentile)) that allowed me to obtain these degrees, and I would love to help you to do the same to open as many doors as possible for you to reach your goals." less...
