About Me
Tutoring isn’t just a job for me—it’s a genuine passion. I find immense joy and fulfillment in helping students grasp challenging concepts and achieve their academic goals. There’s something truly rewarding about witnessing that “aha” moment when a difficult problem suddenly makes sense.
Beyond academics, I’m an avid reader with a love for exploring new worlds through literature. In my free time, you can often find me hiking through the great outdoors, camera in hand, capturing the beauty of nature.
I’m also a self-proclaimed foodie with a passion for experimenting in the kitchen and exploring new cuisines. My diverse interests and hobbies reflect my curiosity about the world around me, and I’m excited to share my enthusiasm and knowledge with students as a member of the MPP Team.
