• Tell us more about the subject you teach, the topics you like to discuss with students (and possibly those you like a little less).

  I teach chemistry, english, biology, medicine entrance test prep, and singing. Each subject has something unique, but I particularly enjoy exploring chemistry and biology real-world applications with students, and guiding students through exam preparation for medicine is incredibly rewarding. Some advanced theoretical concepts can be tricky, but I focus on making even challenging topics approachable and engaging.

Whether it's mastering chemistry concepts or preparing for entrance exams, students can feel overwhelmed or question their abilities. Part of my role is to encourage them, provide manageable steps, and remind them of their progress along the way.
