About Me

I’m currently a PhD candidate at McGill University in Surgical and Interventional Science. With a strong research background in science, I enjoy helping students understand chemistry in a clear and structured way.

In my lessons, I focus on breaking complex concepts into smaller pieces and building a logical framework for each topic. I also help students prepare for exams and lab reports with practical strategies that make the material feel more manageable.

It’s always rewarding to see students become more confident once chemistry starts to feel organized instead of overwhelming.
