Studying neuroscience at Brown means Owen lives in the biology weeds daily — tracing how molecular signals at a synapse scale up into the genetics, cell biology, and physiology that introductory courses test on. That perspective makes him especially good at unpacking processes like cellular communic...

Studying membrane fusion proteins for her PhD at UC Davis — specifically how sperm and egg cells merge during fertilization — Beth brings a researcher's granular understanding of biological processes to her teaching, particularly when it comes to cell biology, protein structure, and molecular intera...

Rohan earned his biology degree from the University of Oregon with a chemistry minor, giving him a dual-lens perspective on topics like cellular respiration, enzyme kinetics, and molecular genetics. He breaks down complex biological systems by connecting them to the underlying chemistry — making pro...

Years of hands-on research — from environmental monitoring in Puget Sound to wildlife refuge work in Nevada — gave Kevin a way of teaching biology that starts with observable phenomena and works backward to the underlying mechanisms. Whether the topic is cellular transport, DNA replication, or natur...

From cell structure and genetics to ecology and evolution, biology rewards students who can see how systems connect rather than treating each chapter as a separate vocabulary list. Timothy's science education training and broad biology teaching experience let him unpack processes like cellular respi...

Yuni's Human Biology, Health and Society degree means she studied living systems through the lens of how they actually affect people — nutrition, disease, public health — which gives her a practical angle on topics like metabolism, homeostasis, and human physiology that pure science majors sometimes...

A dual background in English and biology gives Allyson something most science tutors lack: the ability to explain dense biological concepts in clear, memorable language. Her fieldwork with the American Kestrel Partnership citizen science initiative means she can ground topics like population dynamic...

Daniel's Socratic teaching style — asking layered questions until the student arrives at the answer themselves — turns out to be surprisingly effective for biology, where understanding *why* a process like osmosis or natural selection works matters more than memorizing diagrams. He teaches biology a...

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old e...

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all su...

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant ...

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults...

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medici...

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campu...

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tut...
