Brianna

10th Grade math Tutor • +149 Subjects

I am a currently a high school mathematics teacher. I graduated from the University of Richmond majoring in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing Analytics and a minor in Mathematics. I have worked with kids of all ages, ranging from elementary school to college students through various subjects. I have also worked extensively with special needs children, doing everything from teaching special education to one-on-one in-home mentoring. Through my experiences, I have continued to carry my passion for working with children and have developed my skills in making successful and individualized learning fun. Math, science and test prep are the subjects I'm particularly passionate about tutoring, as I've always loved those subjects myself. Additionally, I've worked extensively with adults on business skills, marketing and social media.

Lindsey

IB Mathematics SL Tutor • +59 Subjects

I am qualified to tutor in many areas including the math and sciences, English, and test preparation (ranging from elementary level through the SATs/ACTs). I have tutored for my entire life and would love to help your student with whatever they may need. I try to relate to the student through their likes to instill in them a love of learning--especially in subjects that are hard to grasp. Please let me know if you would like any more information!

Kevin

Calculus Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a graduate of Gonzaga University and received my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a concentration in research. Since graduating, I have traveled around the West coast working in various hands-on education and research positions. This included volunteering as a docent at a wildlife refuge in Nevada, educating aquarium guests on whale watch cruises in Southern California, and performing environmental monitoring and outreach in the Puget Sound region of Washington State. While my recent experiences provide me a deep understanding and love for Biology and Ecology related subjects, I have intensive writing experience from college that fuels my passion for writing and language, a passion that I use when preparing students to understand and succeed on the ACT. I believe that even the most complex scientific concepts can be broken down into easily understood ideas, and hope to impart this belief to my students. In my free time, I enjoy hiking around the Pacific Northwest, wildlife watching, playing music, and the occasional board game with friends.

I am excited to continue to do so after moving back to Illinois! I especially enjoy tutoring because it allows a closer connection with the student than in a large classroom setting. I enjoy sharing my experience and enthusiasm with student while also helping them progress toward their academic goals. Outside of my love of Biology and Spanish I also love playing tennis, rock climbing, watching movies and TV and I have a new found enthusiasm for biking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students often struggle with visualizing microscopic marine organisms, understanding complex ecosystems and food webs, and connecting theoretical concepts like photosynthesis and nutrient cycling to real ocean environments. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction helps break down these abstract concepts using diagrams, animations, and real-world examples—like explaining how phytoplankton form the base of ocean food chains or how coral bleaching relates to water temperature changes. A tutor can also help you develop scientific reasoning skills, not just memorize facts, so you understand the "why" behind marine processes.

Marine Biology lab courses require hands-on skills like identifying species, analyzing water samples, interpreting microscope observations, and writing scientific reports. Expert tutors can help you understand lab procedures before you enter the lab, interpret your results afterward, and develop strong scientific method practices. They can also guide you through data analysis, help you draw accurate conclusions from your observations, and improve your ability to communicate findings clearly—skills that are just as important as the lab work itself.

Understanding concepts is far more valuable than memorization alone. While Marine Biology does require learning species names, anatomical structures, and ecological terms, rote memorization won't help you tackle essay questions, lab scenarios, or exams that ask you to apply knowledge to new situations. Personalized tutoring focuses on building deep understanding—connecting how a fish's gill structure relates to its oxygen absorption, or how ocean currents distribute nutrients and larvae. When you truly understand the concepts, the important facts stick naturally, and you're prepared for any question format.

The best Marine Biology tutors combine subject expertise with the ability to explain complex topics clearly. Look for someone who can visualize abstract concepts (like ocean thermoclines or bioluminescence), connects theory to real-world marine applications, and understands your specific curriculum—whether that's high school biology, AP Marine Science, or college-level oceanography. A strong tutor will also ask questions to check your understanding rather than just lecturing, and adapt explanations based on how you learn best.

This depends on your starting point and goals. Students working with a tutor on specific challenging topics (like photosynthesis or marine adaptation) often see improvement in 4-6 weeks of consistent sessions. If you're preparing for an AP Marine Science exam or comprehensive course, a longer commitment of several months allows time to build deep understanding and practice applying concepts across different scenarios. Most students benefit from weekly sessions, though some find bi-weekly sessions work well once they've grasped foundational concepts and have strategies for independent study.

Absolutely. Marine Biology increasingly emphasizes real-world applications like coral bleaching, ocean acidification, overfishing, and marine conservation. Personalized instruction helps you understand both the underlying science (how CO₂ affects ocean pH, how warming waters affect species distribution) and the broader implications. Tutors can help you connect classroom concepts to current events and research, develop critical thinking about environmental challenges, and prepare for discussions or projects that require applying marine biology to conservation issues.

Scientific writing requires more than knowing the content—you need to explain concepts clearly, support claims with evidence, and use proper terminology. Expert tutors can help you structure essays, develop clear thesis statements, practice explaining complex processes (like osmoregulation or chemosynthesis) in writing, and review your work for accuracy and clarity. They'll also help you strengthen scientific reasoning by teaching you how to interpret data, draw justified conclusions, and think critically about marine research—skills that improve both your grades and your understanding of the subject.
