After growing up surrounded by an array of private coaching, academic tutoring, test-prep companies, and admissions consulting services, I quickly realized the depth of impact that mentors can have on a student. I aim to support my students throughout their entire academic journey: from helping to bring their passion projects to life (tailored to their interests and passions) to highly-personalized SAT/ACT preparation to crafting a compelling and engaging narrative for their college applications. 

My teaching philosophy revolves around designing interactive, adaptable, and casual sessions with my students. I believe that collaborative, problem-oriented sessions allow for a more positive, thorough deep-dive into the concepts, where we can first test the fundamentals before gradually building onto more challenging ideas — all while keeping the learning process approachable and enjoyable. 

My extensive background in competition and admissions as well as my exceptional academic performance coupled with my heavy experience in project-based service has provided me a unique perspective in guiding students during their academic career.
