Maia believes that every student can find the joy in science. Previously a tutor at Punahou School and Reed College, she mixes kind enthusiasm with a broad STEM background to make even the most daunting courses approachable. She sees resourcefulness and confidence as integral to learning and aims to help students understand themselves as well as the material. Maia majored in Biology and is currently enrolled in a certificate program for environmental policy at Yale.

Maia’s Study Tip: “The best way to learn is to teach, whether siblings, friends, or even a pet – you'll retain knowledge much better in your own words!”
