Katherine: Smithtown tutor
Certified Tutor
Hiya! I'm a professional biology nerd with a strong background in clinical research and university-level teaching. I've worked in advanced labs at Levine Cancer Institute and UNC's Nutrition Research Institute, handling everything from DNA isolation to sample analysis. I've also taught Intro and Molecular Biology labs at Appalachian State, helping students master techniques like PCR, micro-pipetting, and data analysis.
Whether you're preparing for an exam or just trying to make sense of biology, I specialize in breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable lessons. I focus on real-world examples, interactive problem-solving, and building your confidence along the way. If you want personalized, practical, and supportive tutoring from someone who's worked in both labs and classrooms, I'm here to help you succeed.
