In 2022, I completed my Ph.D. in Chemistry at Vanderbilt University. My goal is to use my expertise in chemistry, algebra, and calculus to help students not only learn but also enjoy these subjects. My favorite subject to teach is general chemistry as it highlights the importance of interdisciplinary study combining, physics, math, and even biology. While my degree expertise lies in chemistry, I am equally adapt in teaching all levels of mathematics. I take pride in reinforcing mathematics concepts with tangible applications in other fields to highlight its importance and making learning interesting.

For many students, especially those with learning disabilities, ADHD, or differences in how they process information, this path can feel intimidating or out of reach. My mission as a tutor and mentor is to make the journey into medicine structured, attainable, and empowering by providing individualized academic support from high school through the premedical years, with a specific focus on MCAT preparation and long term success. I specialize in MCAT focused tutoring and premedical academic mentorship, working with motivated students who aspire to enter medicine and other health professions. In addition to content mastery, I emphasize executive function coaching. Many capable students struggle not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack structure. I work with students to create realistic study schedules, break large goals into achievable steps, track progress, and build consistent routines. Students learn how to plan weeks and months ahead, balance school responsibilities

Applied knowledge is wisdom. One exam doesn't determine your future. You can always perform better next time or find a field that aligns with your strengths

I am a graduate from the University of Pennsylvania where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry. I started peer tutoring in high school, staying after school to help fellow students with AP Chemistry content before major exams and quizzes. I currently tutor in math (up to AP Calculus BC/Calculus II), chemistry, physics, biology and offer test prep for the SAT and several SAT Subject tests. However my favorite subjects to tutor involve chemistry, due to the various real world examples that make the subject more comprehensive and ultimately enjoyable for students. My hobbies and interests include dancing, solving crossword puzzles, binging Netflix TV shows and hiking.

My expertise is in classroom, small group, and one-on-one instruction in physics of the first year. I have, however, taught at all levels from non-science major courses through the graduate physics curriculum. My education includes a bachelor's degree in physics from Amherst College and a doctorate from Stanford University. During my career I spent time at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, the University of California, San Diego, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the California Institute of Technology, and Brandeis University, where I worked for nearly 40 years. I am a firm believer that students learn in STEM fields only by doing, not by merely listening. Thus the core of any tutoring experience with me is working on problems. The most formative experience a student can have is to work through a problem, explaining each step to the tutor as he or she goes through it. Only by explaining the concepts and skills to someone else can one be sure of his or her own understanding. My goal in any tutoring interaction is to assist the student in gaining the necessary skills, knowledge, and confidence to attack any conceivable problem set to him or her by a classroom teacher.

Hello! My name is Kaitlin, and I am a recent graduate from Yale University. As a STEM major on the premed path, I specialize in STEM subjects, but also excelled in high school english and reading courses. I am an FGLI student from a small town in PA and have made it this far through A LOT of studying, and therefore I have found some fun and effective ways to study, especially in difficult subjects. I have a passion for learning and teaching, and can't wait to help you out!

Get to know me professionally: Why are you passionate about helping students? I understand that navigating different forms of coursework can be difficult, especially as you continue to progress in your academic career. I believe that careful consideration should be given to how you study for a particular subject, and I am passionate about helping other students determine the best practice for them so they can strengthen their academic independence. Describe your experience working with students. I spent the latter half of my high school years tutoring my peers in addition to continued mentoring and tutoring in undergrad as well in two specific roles. As an Advisor, I provided mentorship and guidance to first-years throughout the entirety of their inaugural semesters in college and beyond. As a Fellow, I worked in intensive, monthlong programs to tutor, mentor, and prepare incoming freshmen for a collegiate education in STEM fields, though I continued to serve outside of this role during the academic year as well. In addition, I spent about two years teaching Anatomy and Physiology at the collegiate level. Where did you get your education? What degree(s) have you attained? B.A. in Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Rice University, 2017 M.S. in Medical Sciences, University of North Texas Health Science Center, 2019 What degree(s) are you working toward? M.D., University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine, 2025 What subjects do you tutor? Mostly STEM-related What is your favorite subject(s) to tutor, and why? I don't have a particular favorite. Different subjects require different academic mindsets and I most enjoy exploring potential approaches and finding success in that process. How would you describe your teaching philosophy and your tutoring style? My personal teaching philosophy and tutoring style revolves around the idea: "You can do hard things!" I am comfortable being as hands-on as you would like and need, but my goal is to help others build academic confidence and independence in their own abilities so that they will be better served in the entirety of their academic careers, not just with the subject in which I am tutoring. I work hard with each student to help not only myself but help them assess their strengths and weaknesses for each subject. My approach is not "one size fits all." Instead, I listen carefully to each student and work with them on reviewing and completing their actual school materials and assignments to help them efficiently develop mastery over a subject. What interests you outside of academia? Both inside and outside of academia, I find myself drawn to experiences and opportunities that expand and challenge my worldview. I am always striving to become a better version of myself and deeply value the benefits of introspection and personal growth.

I'm passionate about helping students because I believe everyone deserves the tools and preparation to build a brighter future. Education isn't just about learning facts, it's about discovering your potential, and I love being part of that journey. I've worked with students from all levels, from kindergarten through college and even graduate programs. Over the years, I've helped with a variety of subjects, but my specialties are SAT prep, SAT Subject Tests (Math II, Biology, Chemistry), Statistics, and Biology. Out of all these, I especially enjoy SAT prep. Many people think it's all about knowledge, but the SAT is really a mix of problem-solving, critical thinking, and understanding the test itself. Mastering its structure and strategies can make a huge difference, and I love showing students how to do that. I studied Biology at Lehigh University for my undergraduate degree and completed my Master's in Innovation at Yonsei University. My academic background taught me the value of hard work, curiosity, and persistencelessons I bring to every tutoring session. My teaching philosophy is simple: practice makes progress. Sure, explaining and lecturing are important, but the best learning happens when students can dive in, try things out, and connect the dots themselves. During sessions, I start with a quick, clear explanation, move into practice, and then review to make sure everything sticks. When I'm not tutoring, I'm probably watching or playing basketball. It's my favorite way to unwind. Whether I'm catching a game or hitting the gym for a pick-up run, it keeps me energized and ready to tackle whatever comes next. If you're looking for support with academics, test prep, or just building confidence in your skills, I'd love to help you reach your goals!
