What do you like most about tutoring?

I love guiding students through challenging material in different ways and witnessing the "aha" moments. I believe everyone, regardless of their background, has the potential to learn any subject with perseverance and a supportive teacher.

What subjects do you enjoy tutoring the most?

Math and science, especially neuroscience, chemistry. and biology. I love studying all the things that we can't see that allows our bodies to function.

What do you like to do in your free time?

Woodworking, paddleboarding, ice skating, fitness and outdoor activities, cooking (and eating), fixing things like my car, and hopefully ballet soon.

What’s your favorite book, song (or band), snack food?

I am currently enjoying reading Adam Grant books. He is a business psychologist who inspires you to do things like find your Hidden Potential.

If you could have a coffee with any person dead or alive? Who would you choose, and why?

I would have tea with Patrice Bergeron. He is not only one of the best hockey players in the history of the NHL but exudes unparalleled leadership qualities on and off the ice. I find this refreshing in our polarized world.
