I am a patient and supportive tutor with a PhD in Physics from Yale University and a bachelor’s degree from Columbia University. I specialize in physics, mathematics (including calculus, statistics, and linear algebra), and Python for data science and machine learning. My goal is to make complex topics clear, approachable, and even enjoyable, tailoring each lesson to the student’s learning style and goals.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have taught and tutored students from elementary school through college, helping them achieve higher grades, exam success, and lasting confidence. While at Yale, I served as a teaching assistant for multiple physics courses, where I guided students through challenging concepts and encouraged active problem solving. I have also worked with students preparing for AP exams, GRE quantitative sections, and coding projects. My approach emphasizes understanding over memorization, encouraging students to think critically and apply their skills to new problems.
