About
I started tutoring as a student at Berkeley High School and quickly discovered my passion for teaching. When I entered college at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) to major in Physics, I became a peer tutor on campus before venturing into private tutoring. Since then, no matter what personal educational or career steps I was on, I always found a way to teach as well. While balancing Virginia Tech's MBA program with a full-time job as a consultant at Deloitte, all the pieces finally fell into place and I decided to take the plunge and turn my tutoring into an incorporated business (talk about time management!).
​
After working in multiple fields and industries, I love sharing my experiences and perspectives with others. From doing hands-on work at lab benches in bunny suits to navigating complex strategies and driving business development in tailored suits, I've enjoyed every part of my journey and I am thrilled to welcome you to my beloved POP family.
​
Aside from tutoring I also offer academic mentoring, schedule planning, and college planning. Whether you are looking to enhance your school curriculum, catch up on homework, prepare for a test, get ahead or expand your own horizons, I would love to be a part of your journey.
