With a decade of experience, I have successfully guided middle and high school students and undergraduates through challenging academic subjects, particularly in physics and mathematics. My three years as a university instructor included both teaching and redesigning physics courses to better accommodate many learning styles. Notably, I have transformed many students who believed they were not "a math/physics person" into high achievers, capable of securing 'A' grades.

I have helped numerous students with application essays for college, scholarships, awards, graduate school, medical school, medical residency, as well as personal statements, letters of intent, and research proposals.

My personal track record of success in applications of all facets illustrates that I know how to write in a way that sells my application for any given purpose. I succeed by highlighting each applicant's unique story, optimizing their presentation to specific programs or scholarships through my research-driven approach.

As a journal of science editor for years, I learned how to edit articles for publication and accuracy. My extensive experience as a co-author and principal author of numerous research papers has provided me with a trove of academic writing expertise.

I am also skilled in editing academic manuscripts at various stages, including thesis proposals, drafts, and complete research papers. My dissertation received a nomination for the highest award in my department, highlighting my ability to craft compelling, award-worthy academic work.

In-person performances can be intimidating, but a skilled coach can give you the confidence you need. I have been awarded for research presentations, received top marks in master’s degree proposals and oral exams, and a successfully defended doctoral dissertation. These achievements didn't come easy—they were the result of honing key strategies for oral presentations over years of practice.

I have coached students for various scenarios, including medical school and residency interviews, undergraduate and graduate presentations, and even classroom speeches. My approach is data-driven and personalized; I tailor my coaching to effectively align with your specific goals by integrating research-based strategies with your inherent strengths and confidence boosters.

Moreover, I excel in the visual aspect of presentations. With a strong background in data science, I can transform your data into compelling visuals that enhance your message, ensuring that your presentations captivate both visually and verbally.

Achieve your best scores through practice, familiarity, and strategic preparation. As your tutor, I not only provide guidance but also conduct detailed research to optimize your study and test-taking strategies, saving you valuable time and reducing stress.

My qualifications include a 970 (92nd percentile) on the Physics GRE, perfect scores of 800 on the GRE Math section and 6.0 on the GRE Essay section, and recognition as a National Merit Scholar Honorable Mention on the PSAT. I will teach you the skills by which you too can excel in standardized testing.
