Hi! I’m Ohm, a Northwestern University biomedical engineering student who tutors middle school and high school students. What I enjoy most about tutoring is seeing students go from “I can’t do this” to actually believing in themselves. Good tutoring isn’t just about teaching content—it’s about building a connection where students feel comfortable struggling through problems and working through challenges together.
I keep sessions focused, encourage you to actively participate, and care more about you understanding why something works rather than memorizing steps. I’m patient and adapt to how you learn best, but I won’t let you coast—real confidence comes from tackling hard material and realizing you can handle it. I can tutor a wide range of subjects, including math (Algebra I & II, Geometry, Precalculus, Calculus I & II, and Linear Algebra), science (Chemistry and Physics), and test prep (SAT/ACT).
As a student in the Biomedical Sciences Academy at Hunterdon County Academies, I participated in the underclassmen mentor program, where select upperclassmen supported younger students with challenging college-level and dual-enrollment coursework, study strategies, and adapting to a demanding academic environment. Through that experience, I developed the ability to break down complex material into clear, logical steps and tailor my teaching approach to different learning styles and levels of understanding.
I have also tutored through organizations like the Spanish Honors Society, helping students strengthen foundational skills, prepare for assessments, and build confidence. The walk-in tutoring format required me to think on my feet, develop effective teaching plans quickly, and manage time efficiently while still making sure each student felt supported.
In addition, my experience as a licensed EMT and as a mentor within Northwestern’s NEMO (Northwestern Emergency Medical Organization) program has strengthened my communication skills, responsibility, and professionalism. Working in high-pressure environments has trained me to stay calm, precise, and adaptable—qualities that translate directly to one-on-one tutoring. My academic background also includes a capstone project in tissue engineering that resulted in a published paper and symposium recognition, along with winning first place in the AMTNJ competition.
Outside of academics, I’m into powerlifting and running (I lift for Northwestern and sprinted throughout high school). The discipline from training—consistent effort, pushing through challenges, and celebrating progress—translates directly to how I approach tutoring.
