Lauren: Santa Monica tutor

Certified Tutor

I am passionate about helping students because I understand how transformative the right support and encouragement can be. Throughout my academic journey, I have worked with students of different backgrounds as a private music teacher, a volunteer mentor, and a peer tutor. Watching students gain confidence and master difficult material has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life.

I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Texas A&M University and am currently a first year medical school student. I tutor subjects such as biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, and study skills. My favorite subject to tutor is biology because it lays the foundation for so much of what we know about medicine, health, and the natural world, and I love making complex concepts easier to understand and exciting to learn.

My teaching philosophy centers on patience, adaptability, and empowerment. Every student learns differently, so I strive to meet students where they are and guide them toward building their own problem-solving skills and confidence. My tutoring style is encouraging and interactive, focusing on breaking down difficult topics into manageable parts while connecting them to real-world applications.
