Marina: Western Springs tutor

Certified Tutor

Hi, my name is Marina! I'm a Behavioral Neuroscience and Psychology double major with extensive experience working with children and young adults with a wide range of learning needs. I've worked as a nanny, ABA tech, and volunteer with children who have developmental and learning differences, so I understand the importance of patience, creativity, and flexibility when it comes to learning.

Academically, I've worked in neuroscience research labs at NYU, where I've studied brain development and behavior. My strong science background helps me break down challenging concepts into clear, approachable steps. I also bring in creative strategies to make learning engaging and fun.

Outside of academics, I'm a big believer in building confidence and curiosity alongside knowledge. My goal is not only to help students master their subjects but also to encourage them to feel capable, motivated, and proud of their progress.

I look forward to supporting your student's growth and tailoring each session to fit their unique learning style!
