Education

PhD in Climate Financing and Politics University of Amsterdam '22 International Development, MSc University of Amsterdam '20 Systems Engineering, MSc University of Pennsylvania '17 GPA: 3.74/4.00 Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering, BSc University of Pennsylvania '16 GPA: 3.51/4.00 Despite my strong technical background, I switched focuses to more qualitative research through my PhD, but still teach lots of number-heavy classes at the university, like statistics and quantitative research.

Experience

I specialise in IB Math tutoring of all levels (both SL/HL AA and AI). I have successfully coached over 30 students in the last 10 years through the IB Math curriculum, helping students go above and beyond their exam goals. The average score my students receive is a 5.7 on a 7-point scale, with ten of my students receiving 7s. Not a single one of my students has ever failed (the lowest score my students receive is a 4). I have quite a strong technical background given my PhD in finance and MSc in engineering, so math and science classes are some of my favorites to teach. I was enrolled in the IB program from 2010-2012 at the International School of Bangkok, in which I earned the following marks: IB HL Maths: 7 IB HL Chemistry: 7 IB HL Economics: 7 IB SL Spanish: 7 IB SL Computer Science: 7 IB SL English: 6 Total IB Score: 43/45

Hobbies

Hello prospective student and/or parents! I am pretty active (I am training for a Crossfit competition as well as doing yoga/ pilates) and love to spend my free time in nature hiking or camping. But I would also like to take this time to discuss my unique approach to tutoring: What makes me a UNIQUE tutor (in addition to the extensive background) is my PERSONAL approach to tutoring. I customise my teaching approach to each and every student, spanning the way I present material & work through problems, the length and structure of our sessions, and the type of feedback the student needs to thrive. I also give all of my students my personal phone number so that they can contact me OUTSIDE OF HOURS at NO COST if they are struggling while studying on night(s) leading up to exams! It's not just about covering material; I firmly believe that tutoring is about tailorizing the learning experience so that students self-develop the necessary tools to thrive in their courses and eventually DONT NEED a tutor :)
