Summary

A uniquely interdisciplinary educator with a double undergraduate degree in Physics and Business, and a Master's in Electrical Engineering with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence. I combine strong analytical training with a broad liberal arts foundation and a deep understanding of how top U.S. universities evaluate students. With extensive experience teaching AP-level Physics and Math, mentoring IELTS, TOEFL students, and designing individualized learning plans, I bring a rigorous yet student-centered philosophy that emphasizes critical thinking, structural understanding, and academic self-motivation.

Teaching Philosophy

Education is not about memorizing formulas; it’s about learning how to think. I believe in inquiry-based learning, helping students see the deeper structure of problems and connect ideas across disciplines. With first-hand experience of how U.S. professors teach and evaluate students, I prepare learners to succeed in a global academic context. I emphasize individualized teaching: every student has unique potential that needs tailored strategies to fully develop.
