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.

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.

Rachel approaches science the way she approaches a difficult text: by slowing down, identifying what the question is actually asking, and organizing information before jumping to conclusions. Her strength is in teaching students how to read scientific problems carefully and pull out what matters, which is often the skill that's actually holding grades back.

Studying neuroscience at Vanderbilt means Avi lives at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and physics every day. He unpacks scientific concepts — whether it's balancing chemical equations, interpreting force diagrams, or tracing energy through an ecosystem — by grounding each one in real-world examples that make the material stick.

A double major in geology and biochemistry gives Aaron unusual range across the sciences — he can walk through cell biology one session and explain mineral classification or plate tectonics the next. He ties scientific vocabulary and processes back to real observations, whether that's interpreting rock layers in a road cut or tracing energy flow through an ecosystem.

Studying chemical engineering at Michigan means Edward lives in the overlap of chemistry, physics, and applied math every day. He unpacks scientific concepts — whether it's stoichiometry, thermodynamics, or unit analysis — by connecting them to real processes students can visualize.

I am my strongest and best self when helping others. As an enthusiastic, passionate, and dependable teacher, I am consistently working to share and engage with the material I love.

Physics is where Oluwatosin's expertise runs deepest — as an electrical engineer, he built his career on applying scientific principles like electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and circuit analysis to real systems. He unpacks scientific concepts by tying them to tangible examples, making abstract ideas like wave behavior or energy conservation click for students who need more than a textbook definition.

Being on a pre-med track while studying engineering at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln means Guillermo lives in both the physical and biological sciences every day. He breaks down topics like cell biology, force diagrams, and chemical reactions by tying them to real-world applications — the kind of concrete examples that make abstract concepts stick.

An Engineering Technology degree requires heavy coursework in physics, chemistry, and applied sciences, so Jeremy knows how to break down lab concepts, unit conversions, and data interpretation from firsthand experience. He's particularly good at teaching students how to connect formulas to what's actually happening in a physical system rather than treating equations as abstract puzzles.

While science isn't Erika's primary field, her psychology training involved heavy exposure to research design, data interpretation, and the scientific method. She tackles science coursework by teaching students to read experiments the way a researcher would — identifying variables, evaluating controls, and drawing conclusions from data.

A classical languages degree means Zachary spent years dissecting Latin scientific terminology at its roots — a skill that makes vocabulary-heavy science material far less intimidating for students encountering terms like "photosynthesis" or "endothermic" for the first time. He also brings strong quantitative chops (1480 SAT, 32 ACT) and uses his background in systematic grammar analysis to teach students how to read dense textbook passages and extract the key relationships between concepts.

Computer science trains you to think in systems — how inputs become outputs, how variables interact, how small changes cascade — and that mindset translates directly to understanding scientific concepts like energy transfer, cell processes, and experimental design. Matthew applies that structured thinking when walking through lab data or explaining how forces act on an object. His 32 ACT, including the Science section, backs up his comfort across disciplines.

Erika's math-heavy teaching background — from arithmetic through calculus — means she's comfortable with the quantitative backbone of science: unit conversions, interpreting graphs, and working through rate calculations that often trip students up in physical science and biology. She brings a lighthearted, read-the-room approach to topics that can feel intimidating, adjusting her explanations on the fly until the concept actually lands. Her 33 ACT confirms she can handle the cross-disciplinary reasoning science coursework demands.

Psychology is fundamentally a science degree — James spent his undergraduate training learning experimental design, statistical analysis, and how to evaluate peer-reviewed research. Now pursuing a Ph.D. in School Psychology, he brings that research literacy to science tutoring, breaking down how to form testable hypotheses, control for variables, and draw conclusions from data. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having studied chemistry, physics, and calculus alongside his computer science degree at Grinnell College, Oen brings genuine STEM fluency to science tutoring — he doesn't just know the vocabulary, he understands the math and logic underneath it. He's especially strong at walking students through quantitative problems like balancing equations, interpreting motion graphs, or converting units, treating each one as a puzzle with a clear sequence of steps rather than a formula to memorize.

A chemistry degree and pre-med coursework mean Natalie can move fluidly between biology, chemistry, and physics concepts — connecting, say, how chemical bonding principles explain enzyme behavior in living systems. She breaks down the scientific method and data interpretation skills that underpin every science class, making cross-disciplinary connections that stick. Rated 4.8 by her students.

Growing up in Malaysia before studying at Penn and completing a Master's in Education at Harvard, Yu picked up science through multiple educational systems — which means she's seen the same concepts taught in very different ways and knows which explanations actually land. She leans on that cross-cultural perspective to teach topics like the scientific method, experimental reasoning, and data interpretation by reframing them until they click. Her chemistry background also lets her go deeper when students hit the quantitative side of science.

An MIT math degree and a PhD track in operations research at Georgia Tech mean Isabella has spent years inside labs and classrooms where the scientific method isn't a textbook concept — it's a daily practice of modeling real systems, testing assumptions, and interpreting results. She's especially strong on the quantitative backbone of science: reading data tables, understanding units, and translating observations into precise claims. Rated 5.0 by students.

Mimi's Masters in Education from Harvard focused on inquiry-based and object-based learning — an approach that turns science into something students can observe, question, and test rather than just read about in a textbook. Her integrated arts background means she often teaches concepts like ecosystems or states of matter through hands-on exploration and visual models, which tends to stick with students who struggle to learn from lectures alone. She's especially strong with younger and middle school learners building their first real science habits.

While science isn't Valerie's primary discipline, the University of Chicago's core curriculum required her to take rigorous coursework in the natural sciences alongside her Classics major. She's also trained in Emergency Medical Services, which gave her hands-on fluency with anatomy, physiology, and clinical reasoning that she brings to science tutoring sessions.

Journalism is fundamentally about investigation — gathering evidence, verifying claims, and explaining complex topics to a general audience — and Meghan applies that same discipline when walking students through scientific concepts like experimental design and data interpretation. Her Northwestern training emphasized rigorous sourcing and logical structure, which translates naturally to teaching students how to read a graph, evaluate a hypothesis, or write up lab results that actually say something clear. Rated 5.0 by students.

A master's in environmental engineering means Kate didn't just study biology, chemistry, and physics — she used all three together to solve real problems like modeling water contamination or analyzing energy systems. That cross-disciplinary perspective makes her especially effective at showing students how scientific concepts connect rather than treating each unit as isolated material. Rated 4.9 by students.

A PhD in Computational Mathematics from the University of Chicago means Justin doesn't just know science — he understands the quantitative reasoning that ties physics, chemistry, and earth science together. He breaks down concepts like energy conservation, wave behavior, and data analysis by connecting them to real-world phenomena, from climate modeling to how lenses form images. Rated 5.0 by students.

A chemistry major headed to Columbia Medical School, James treats science tutoring as an exercise in building intuition — understanding why a reaction proceeds a certain way or how energy flows through a biological system, not just memorizing diagrams. He's especially sharp at bridging the gap between introductory courses and the more rigorous thinking that AP or IB-level science demands.

A philosophy degree from Princeton means Jeff spent years doing exactly what science coursework asks of students — constructing logical arguments, identifying flaws in reasoning, and evaluating whether evidence actually supports a claim. He teaches the scientific method as a form of structured argumentation: hypothesis as thesis, experiment as proof, conclusion as defense. His 1550 SAT confirms he handles the quantitative and data-interpretation side with equal precision.

Undergraduate research in Northwestern's John Rogers Lab and a biomedical engineering curriculum gave Ingrid hands-on experience with biology, chemistry, physics, and thermodynamics. She explains scientific concepts by connecting them to real applications — like how drug delivery systems depend on diffusion or why cells respond to mechanical forces — which makes abstract ideas stick.

Studying Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton means Matthew lives in physics, thermodynamics, and applied chemistry daily — subjects that map directly onto high school science curricula. He breaks down concepts like force diagrams, energy conservation, and kinematics using step-by-step problem solving, then builds complexity so students internalize the reasoning rather than just the formulas.

Comparative literature might seem worlds away from science, but Jacob's Columbia and UC Berkeley training drilled the exact close-reading skills that matter when students need to parse a dense lab procedure, pull meaning from a data table, or figure out what a graph is actually saying. He treats science texts the way he'd treat a difficult passage in German — slowing down, breaking apart the structure, and making sure every piece connects logically before moving on.
