About Me
I am an experienced tutor with a strong background in science and online teaching. I create personalised, engaging lessons by identifying each student’s strengths, learning style, and areas for improvement. I provide clear instruction, constructive feedback, and track progress closely to ensure success. Beyond science, I also teach English, Maths, and SAT/ACT preparation, helping students achieve top 10% scores. I aim to motivate learners, build confidence, and foster a positive, supportive online environment using effective digital tools and tailored resources.
I deliver high-quality online instruction through video sessions and digital learning platforms, ensuring lessons are interactive and easy to follow. I provide clear, constructive feedback on assignments, projects, and assessments, while closely monitoring student progress to track improvement over time.
My teaching style
My teaching style is structured, analytical, and outcome-focused. I begin with a diagnostic assessment to identify knowledge gaps and exam readiness, then design targeted lesson plans aligned with curriculum standards and assessment objectives. I emphasise exam techniques, time management, and structured problem-solving, while reinforcing core concepts through practice questions and past papers. Regular formative feedback and progress tracking ensure continuous improvement and measurable academic success.
My past experience
Yes, I have extensive experience in teaching and tutoring across online and in-person settings.
From May 2022to May 2015, I have been working full-time on the Varsity Platform as an Instructional Coach/Teacher/Tutor. In this role, I assess individual student needs, strengths, and learning styles, and design flexible, engaging lesson plans tailored to each learner. I deliver instruction in an online environment using video calls and learning management systems, provide constructive feedback on assignments and assessments, monitor academic progress, and motivate students to stay engaged. I also maintain clear communication with students and parents, utilise various digital teaching tools, share additional learning resources, and create a positive, supportive online learning environment.
Previously, I worked as an English and Math Teacher at IVY in Flushing, New York (September 2017 – March 2022). I taught students in Grades 4–7, including Maths for Grades 3/4 aligned with the NYCCLS curriculum. My responsibilities included lesson planning, delivering structured instruction, evaluating student performance through quizzes and assessments, supporting diverse learning needs, and preparing students for the upcoming academic year. I also successfully completed Summer School teaching during July–August 2021.
