I have helped several college students through challenging chemistry, physics, and biology courses. After graduating from the University of Michigan, I have been spending most of my time doing research. My research projects have ranged from molecular biology, biochemistry, and computational biology to applied chemistry, nanomaterials, and algorithm development. I think that I have received enough experience not only to be an expert in these fields, but also confidently share my knowledge with my students.

I most enjoy tutoring mathematics courses because I love helping students sharpen their logical thinking skills, and because math is the language of the universe!
