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'm a recent graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles. I got my Bachelor of Science in microbiology, immunology, and molecular genetics. I'm looking to tutor middle or high school level biology, college level introductory microbiology, college level introductory genetics and/or any of the ACT subjects. During my sophomore, junior and senior years at UCLA I tutored for introductory biology classes, microbiology, and genetics. It was mostly drop-in tutoring, so I'm excited to work with students over a longer period of time. Biology is a huge subject with a lot of information involved. Because of this, working on memorizing everything isn't always practical so I like to teach strategies on how to pick out the most important information and how to apply this knowledge.

Hobbies

During high school I swam and ran cross country. In my first year of college I was on the triathlon team. I enjoy cooking and baking. My favorite thing to bake are sourdough bread and my favorite thing to cook is eggplant lasagna. I love taking care of my house plants and all the pets I have at home. My family owns two cats (Luna and Simba), a bearded dragon (Hornsby), an anole (Quasimodo), and a saltwater fish tank. The hobby I’ve picked up during the pandemic is knitting.
