As a computer science student at MIT, I thrive on solving complex problems and continually building on the foundation I developed in high school. My early experiences in education and mentorship have played a significant role in shaping my approach to learning and teaching.

In high school, I volunteered extensively at my former middle school, Atmosphere Academy, assisting students across subjects such as Mathematics, English, Social Studies, and Test Preparation. I also led an initiative to introduce mindfulness and meditation practices, teaching breathing and concentration techniques to help students manage stress and improve focus.

I approach teaching with patience and optimism, grounded in the belief that determination and persistence are key to success. By observing, listening, and responding to their needs, I continually adapt my methods to provide a supportive and effective learning environment.

Teaching Experience:
• Volunteered over 125 hours at Atmosphere Academy, my former middle school.
Mentored international students from Haiti, Austria, and Ethiopia on college admissions and essays through Project Access.
• Scores:
• High School GPA: 4.0/4.0
• SAT: 1530 (790 Math, 740 Reading)
• Certifications:

• Professional Experience:
• Software Engineer Intern at Cargomatic
• Consultant with MIT Consulting Group
• Sales Analyst Intern at SUMMIT under SL Green Realty Corp.
• Research Intern at PENCIL.

Each Package includes a complimentary introductory meeting with parents and/or students to understand the student’s interests and prior experience and to create personalized lesson plans that will fully challenge and excite the student(s).

Classes are provided online using Zoom or Google Meet. A computer with reliable Internet connection, preferably one that is able to download software, is required for this course. Students do not need extensive prior programming experience, but they must have basic computer skills and be able to type efficiently.

Days and times are to be coordinated with the teacher. However, a minimum of 1 to 2 classes needs to be taken each week in order to maximize results and ensure that the full package is taken within the defined time frame.

The teacher does not make any guarantee of any future results, rewards, success, or achievements as part of the tutoring package.

It is important to note that the effectiveness of the tutoring sessions depends greatly on the effort, dedication, and commitment of the student. While the teacher will provide comprehensive instruction, practice, and support, the ultimate outcome of the tutoring sessions will be influenced by the student’s individual effort and engagement in the learning process. The tutoring package is designed to provide students with the necessary tools, resources, and guidance to improve their skills and knowledge in the targeted areas. However, the success of the tutoring sessions relies on the student’s active participation, practice, and willingness to learn. It is important for the student to come prepared for each session, complete assigned tasks, practice outside of the tutoring sessions, and actively engage in the learning activities provided by the teacher.
