I bring a strong background in both music and academic tutoring. I've spent two years as a music mentor, working with middle school students to enhance their trumpet skills and passion. During high school, I served as the trumpet section leader in the wind ensemble, after apprenticing in my junior year.In addition to my musical expertise, I was a Teacher's Assistant for Honors Physics at HKIS. There, I created instructional videos, set up labs, offered one-on-one tutoring, and reviewed lab reports, effectively supporting high school students.I also participated in a freshman mentorship program, guiding new students through their first year of high school. My academic accomplishments include scoring 4s and 5s on AP exams in Physics 1, Physics 2, Human Geography, Calculus AB, Spanish Language, and Psychology. This diverse experience equips me to adapt to various learning styles and age groups, ensuring comprehensive and engaging tutoring.

I'm committed to fostering a deep understanding of the material rather than relying on memorization. I emphasize developing healthy habits study early on, helping students avoid bad practices. My approach involves tailoring explanations to each student's interests—like relating physics concepts to sports they play—to make learning relatable and engaging. I maintain a patient and non-judgmental environment, ensuring students feel comfortable asking questions. Visual aids are a key part of my teaching, as they can clarify complex ideas. My sessions are interactive and adaptive, focusing on building confidence and a genuine grasp of the subject matter. I love the applied side of learning and incorporate real-world examples to make abstract concepts tangible and more useful. I also enjoy relating concepts together to help students see connections in the subject more easily, enhancing their overall understanding.
