"Hey there! I’m a double major in physics and music at UC Berkeley with a passion for teaching and making challenging concepts click. I have years of experience tutoring AP Physics (1, 2, C Mechanics, and C Electricity & Magnetism), AP Calculus AB/BC, and AP Music Theory, helping students strengthen their understanding and problem-solving skills. I break down complex topics into simple, intuitive explanations—whether it’s tricky integrals, Newton’s laws, or jazz harmony. Beyond academics, I’ve taught piano, guitar, and trumpet for over five years, working with students of all ages on performance and theory, from exam prep to casual playing.

Most of my lessons are online, making quality tutoring accessible and flexible. I emphasize affordable, engaging learning by tailoring lessons to each student’s unique style. My background includes four years in media outreach and teaching English to students in Ukraine via Zoom, which has honed my ability to create interactive and effective virtual lessons. As a nuclear engineering researcher working with scintillator technology, I connect physics concepts to real-world applications, making lessons more meaningful.

Beyond tutoring, I’ve worked with Grammy-winning artists like Herbie Hancock, Terence Blanchard, Marcus Miller, Patrick Bartley, Cory Henry, and Jahari Stampley, gaining firsthand experience in jazz, live performance, and music production. My research in nuclear security has strengthened my analytical skills, enhancing my approach to teaching math and physics. Whether you need help mastering derivatives, understanding quantum mechanics, or tackling a tough music theory concept, I’m here to help. Let’s make learning exciting!" less...
