Ingrid
Certified Science Tutor
Ingrid
BA University
4+ Years Tutoring

As a Music Industry major at USC, Ingrid might not seem like an obvious pick for science — but her 35 ACT means she crushed the Science section, which is really a test of graph reading, data comparison, and spotting trends across conflicting experiments. She teaches students to stop overthinking the content and start treating science problems as puzzles where the answer is almost always sitting in the figure or table.

Michaela
BA University
5+ Years Tutoring

Film and animation work requires more applied science than most people realize — Michaela's 3D animation training involved physics simulations, understanding how light behaves across surfaces, and modeling natural phenomena with mathematical precision. That technical foundation makes her well-suited to explain concepts like force, motion, and energy transfer through visual and spatial reasoning that clicks for students who learn better by seeing than by reading. Rated 5.0 by students.

Hello! My name is Himanshu and I've been a private tutor for over 7 years specializing in chemistry, biology, math, and English literature/composition. I attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a major in Microbiology and minors in Biochemistry, Math, and English. I am now working towards my Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, as well as my MBA in Medical Administration and Management. I have a great success rate when it comes to tutoring, especially with students who are encountering new topics or unfamiliar concepts. I am a firm believe in the "see-one, do-one, teach-one" strategy for teaching, with a very heavy emphasis on showing the logic behind problem-solving methods. Basically, I like to break down topics in ways that keep my students engaged and help them understand the "why" with the "how". I look forward to helping your student achieve their academic goals!
