Qualifications:

I have been a math and science tutor for over 8 years, tutoring from ages 5 to 50 and all levels of math and science (including college courses) My client base has encompassed over 60 families and I recently reached over 5,000 hours of one on one tutoring. Although I began with in person tutoring, I am now well versed in online platforms. Currently most of my tutoring practice is remote and done entirely online!

Aside from my tutoring job, I double majored in Physical Geography and Earth Science at UC Santa Barbara. After Santa Barbara, I was a visiting scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Currently, I am a PhD candidate at UCLA, studying biogeochemical cycling in oceans, and am a teaching assistant for a climate change class. Outside of PURE academia, I serve as a mentor to high school age students looking to improve upon public speaking and leadership development in STEM fields.

My range of professional and academic experiences all play a role into my tutoring style. I draw upon real life applications and earth science principles to take learning beyond merely finishing homework.
