I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

I have a B.S in Biological Sciences from the University of Pittsburgh am currently pursing my Ph.D in Molecular Biology at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. I have an extensive background in biology and related areas including genetics, molecular biology, and evolution. Additionally, I have an academic background in math and I minored in Spanish in college.

My experience with tutoring has been both formal and informal, beginning with helping younger siblings and friends with homework. In college I was an undergraduate teaching assistant for an Introduction to Genetics course.

Over the past 4 years during my PhD I have formally tutored math and science of various levels, culminating in at 200 hours of lessons.

I have experience tutoring elementary science, and high school biology/chemistry, as well as college level biology courses. I also have experience tutoring elementary, middle, and high school math. I particularly enjoy tutoring geometry and algebra I.

I believe in one-on-one tutoring sessions tailored to the student's learning style and specific needs. In my sessions, I help with homework assignments, test preparation, and starting from the basics on particular concepts that a student is struggling with.

I am endlessly curious and love learning about the living world around us. As a scientist, I am passionate about science communication and enjoy helping others understand scientific concepts.
