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 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.
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. That engineering lens makes abstract science topics feel concrete and logical rather than arbitrary.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
As a curriculum developer building courses for middle and high schoolers, Elena knows exactly how to make dense material click — including the scientific vocabulary, classification systems, and cause-and-effect reasoning that science coursework demands. Her Religious Studies training at McGill involved rigorous textual analysis and structured argumentation, skills she now channels into teaching students how to read scientific texts carefully, interpret what an experiment actually shows, and explain their reasoning clearly.
Ben's science tutoring draws on his IB Chemistry background and the quantitative rigor of his Penn math training, which means he's especially effective when science gets mathematical — balancing equations, interpreting rate laws, or working through stoichiometry. He teaches students to translate word-heavy science problems into clean mathematical setups they can actually solve.
Comparative literature might seem worlds away from science, but Brittney's Princeton training in close reading and textual analysis translates surprisingly well to parsing dense lab instructions, extracting meaning from data tables, and interpreting the kind of evidence-based passages that show up across science coursework. She's strongest with students who can grasp the concepts but struggle to articulate their reasoning in writing — lab reports, short-answer explanations, and constructing arguments from observations. Rated 5.0 by students.
As a medical student at Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine, Anna lives inside scientific reasoning every day — forming hypotheses, interpreting data, and connecting biological systems to real outcomes. She brings that same structured thinking to general science topics like the scientific method, ecosystems, and basic chemistry, making each concept feel purposeful rather than random.
Andrew holds a BS in Physics and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, which means he's spent over a decade thinking scientifically — designing experiments, interpreting data, and connecting abstract principles to measurable outcomes. He unpacks concepts in mechanics, electricity, and biology-adjacent topics like biomechanics with the kind of depth that comes from genuine research experience. Students get explanations rooted in understanding, not just memorized definitions.
Tom's PhD in American Studies involved extensive research methodology — designing studies, evaluating sources for reliability, and building evidence-based arguments — which maps cleanly onto teaching students how to work through hypotheses, control variables, and interpret experimental outcomes. His Latin training also gives him an unusual edge when it comes to unpacking scientific terminology, since so many terms in biology and chemistry trace back to roots he already knows cold. Rated 4.9 by students.
Three separate science degrees mean Zosia doesn't just know chemistry or biology in isolation — she understands how energy transfer in physics explains chemical bonding, which in turn drives cellular processes. That cross-disciplinary perspective is exactly what makes her effective at teaching foundational science concepts like the scientific method, experimental design, and data interpretation. She builds each session around the specific science course and topics a student is wrestling with.
Speech-language pathology graduate training at Columbia is surprisingly science-heavy — anatomy, neuroscience, research design — and Sherry brings that clinical lens to teaching students how biological systems work and how experiments should be structured. Her UChicago psychology and linguistics background also means she's comfortable with everything from statistical reasoning to breaking apart dense scientific terminology using morphological roots. Rated 5.0 by students.
A social sciences master's degree means Lauren spent years doing what science coursework actually asks of students — reading studies, questioning methodology, and pulling defensible conclusions from messy data. She's particularly good at walking through how to set up a controlled experiment and explain results in plain language, since her own graduate research required exactly that. Rated 5.0 by students.
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.
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.
Law school at the University of Chicago drills a specific kind of reasoning — isolating what the evidence actually proves versus what you assume it proves — and Elena applies that same discipline when walking students through scientific concepts like experimental design, variable control, and data interpretation. Her government and Spanish double major means she's used to synthesizing dense, unfamiliar material quickly, which is exactly the skill students need when a science unit throws new terminology and complex diagrams at them simultaneously.
