excerpts from past teaching experiences

Teaching Philosophy

I believe in “accessible movement” — meeting every student where they are in their academic journey with empathy, and pushing them further toward their goals with every session.

"My Teaching Fellow is deserving of the Zimbardo Teaching Prize because he was effective at creating simulated exploration of topics such as clinical diagnosis, to help us realize how these processes work. He also created helpful mnemonics and practice methods to enable us to have an engagement with psychology that lasts far longer than our working memory."

My tutoring experience and purview

I am a generalist tutor with specialization in writing. Currently, I work with promising high school students in the Bay Area as they prepare for college. Previously, I've also worked with undergraduates and prospective graduate students. I am open to working with students at all level and maintain a broad but effective set of tools.
