I am an Environmental Engineering major at Cornell University. I am incredibly passionate about sustainability and I enjoy mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Apart from Environmental Engineering, I am interested in Aerospace Engineering and Architecture, and I plan to pursue a minor in both of these fields. Outside of school, I hike and play golf for fun, but I also tutor several students. In high school, I worked at Kumon Learning Center and assisted students with their math and reading coursework. I am also currently a tutor for the STEP program at Cornell, where I teach middle school and high school students chemistry and mathematics. I am very comfortable tutoring in various STEM subjects (i.e. calculus, algebra, geometry, chemistry, physics, environmental science), and I enjoy tutoring sessions with students very much.
Kelsey
Calculus Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am striving towards my Master of Science in Environmental Sciences and Policy at Johns Hopkins University, and will be obtaining my degree in May of 2022. Being a student myself, I am excellent at pinpointing what each learner needs to succeed. I was a former educator at a community college focusing on biology and microbiology. This college had multiple early college high school programs in place, therefore I have taught at the high school and college level. Prior to that, I was a group tutor for honors biology (known as a supplemental instructor), in which I created review packets and held sessions for the students. More than halfway through my advanced graduate program, I feel confident in my ability to stretch my teaching skills past biology and microbiology, into environmental science as well!
Aaron

I am incredibly excited to dedicate myself to helping students amidst one of the greatest public health crises of our time. I have worked with students at both ends of the academic spectrum on not only traditional classroom subjects but also in a 'future preparation and planning' context. I am passionate about finding the best way for a student to learn and often times that encourages me to get outside of my comfort zone and re-imagine the problems in a way my student can best understand them. I am patient, outgoing, a fast learner and am excited to be a resource for you and/or your student! Hobbies: hiking, outdoors, reading, cooking, music, swimming, writing, art, books

Frequently Asked Questions
Environmental Science tutors cover a broad range of interconnected topics including ecosystems and biodiversity, climate systems and global warming, water and soil conservation, energy resources and sustainability, pollution and waste management, and human-environment interactions. Tutors also help students understand environmental policy, conservation strategies, and how to analyze real-world environmental data. The scope depends on your curriculum—whether you're taking a general Environmental Science course, AP Environmental Science, or a specialized environmental studies class—but tutors tailor instruction to match your specific course requirements and learning goals.
Environmental Science involves interconnected systems—like the carbon cycle, nitrogen cycle, and water cycle—that can feel abstract without visual support. Tutors use diagrams, animations, and real-world examples to help you visualize how energy and matter move through ecosystems. They break down complex processes into manageable steps, connect theoretical concepts to current environmental events, and help you develop systems thinking skills so you can see how changes in one part of an ecosystem affect others. This approach transforms memorization into genuine understanding of how environmental processes actually work.
Environmental Science requires both foundational knowledge and the ability to apply concepts to real-world scenarios. Memorizing that photosynthesis produces oxygen is one thing; understanding how photosynthetic rates affect oxygen levels in aquatic ecosystems during different seasons is another. Tutors focus on helping you build conceptual understanding by asking probing questions, guiding you through problem-solving, and connecting isolated facts into larger patterns. This deeper learning approach prepares you better for exams requiring analysis and interpretation, and for understanding environmental issues beyond the classroom.
Environmental Science courses increasingly require students to interpret graphs, analyze datasets, calculate statistics, and draw evidence-based conclusions. Tutors help you develop these critical scientific thinking skills by walking you through how to read environmental data, identify trends, evaluate sources, and construct logical arguments supported by evidence. They also help you understand experimental design—why certain studies are more reliable than others—and how to distinguish correlation from causation when evaluating environmental research. These skills are essential for lab work, case studies, and exam questions that require reasoning beyond simple recall.
The best Environmental Science tutors combine strong subject knowledge with the ability to make complex topics accessible. Look for tutors who can explain both the 'what' and the 'why' behind environmental concepts, use real-world examples to illustrate theory, and help you develop scientific reasoning skills alongside content knowledge. It's valuable if a tutor has experience with your specific curriculum (AP Environmental Science, IB Environmental Systems, state standards, etc.), can work through practice problems and past exams with you, and can help you connect environmental concepts to current events and your own observations of the natural world.
Personalized tutoring addresses your specific weak spots—whether that's understanding biogeochemical cycles, mastering quantitative concepts like population dynamics, or developing stronger lab analysis skills. Tutors help you practice with released exams and practice problems, give targeted feedback on how to answer different question types (multiple choice, free response, data interpretation), and ensure you understand the reasoning behind correct answers rather than just memorizing them. This targeted approach typically leads to stronger performance on cumulative exams and standardized tests like AP Environmental Science, which rewards both conceptual understanding and applied reasoning.
Absolutely. One of the strengths of personalized Environmental Science tutoring is connecting classroom concepts to environmental challenges students actually care about—from local water quality and conservation efforts to global climate change and renewable energy transitions. Tutors can guide you through analyzing environmental case studies, understanding how scientific principles apply to current environmental news, and developing project-based understanding. This real-world context not only makes the subject more engaging, but it also deepens your comprehension since you see how abstract concepts have concrete, meaningful applications.
