Hi I'm Kara! I graduated from Grinnell College in Iowa in May 2017 where I majored in biological chemistry. During college, I worked as a class mentor for 1st and 2nd-year biology classes. As a mentor, I helped during class time and lab, but I also held sessions twice weekly outside of class to review and teach the material. I really enjoy working with my peers on biology concepts.

I love Chemistry and it is my passion to share with students that I teach, tutor or mentor my enthusiasm for Chemistry. Chemistry is the Central Science and plays a role in all aspects of our life...it provides infrastructure for the modern life. Your success is my success and I would very much like to help my students learn.

Since graduating from college I have been working as an Emergency Medical Technician and I have been taking some graduate level biology classes. In my spare time, I enjoy playing basketball, reading about...

...more than reading information or answering questions on a topic. It's about providing the most tools to give a better understanding of the material so you are prepared for any questions that may come about. In life, my goal is to have a career where I can make a difference in people's lives as a healthcare professional. However, tutoring to me is just as rewarding by helping those in need to the best of my...
