Mary

ACT Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects

Originally from Toronto, I graduated from the University of Rochester in May 2015 with a B.S. in Neuroscience, a minor in French, and a minor in Music. I studied piano performance at the Eastman School of Music, volunteered as an EMT with the University of Rochester Medical Emergency Response Team, and spent a year on the Varsity Field Hockey Team. I also spent my time volunteering as a member of Delta Gamma for the Service for Sight Foundation. I was lucky enough to have spent a semester abroad in Paris, capitalizing on the availability of French pastries and museum access. After spending time as a Teaching Assistant for Biology and Organic Chemistry Lab in college, I discovered a passion for teaching. I am currently a full time Teaching Assistant for the Americorps- affiliated program Blue Engine, teaching Algebra I at an arts high school in the Bronx. I am planning on applying to medical school in the hopes of someday becoming a neurologist. In my spare time, I enjoy practicing yoga, painting, and driving my bright orange motorcycle.

Ayse

10th Grade Tutor • +95 Subjects

My passion is education. I have taught in three countries in three languages to a wide range of students at universities, non-profits and private companies. I have a knack for making the difficult seem easy and interesting. My aim is to ensure that each student leaves our sessions feeling confident enough that they know they can easily tackle the next level in their school curriculum without feeling overwhelmed. Our sessions are light and jovial in tone, yet focused and deliberate in approach. I hold a B.A. in Economics from Emory University and a Masters degree and PhD coursework in Art History. When I am not working, I love to explore New York City and discover new things about it. Writing excites me, and I am working on a book about my experiences overseas. I am also very athletic. Having completed two marathons, you can say I enjoy a good run. I love being on the water and know how to sail.

Pooja

Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects

I am a graduate of Indiana University who majored in Public Policy and Law and minored in International Studies. I'm heading to Law School in the fall of 2021. I decided to start tutoring after my brother had a positive experience on this platform and after a whole semester of helping pre-law students in my chapter organization. They were always intrigued on how I got through the infamous Logic Games. The attitude of "Beat the Mountain". I used this in study sessions with my peers in BC Calc and Algebra in High School and it comes in super helpful in the LSAT, because once, you find that one "difficult situation" and figure it out, it'll make the entire set in question that much easier. Something I learned long ago, while you may go to school for academics, do not forget to get educated along the way.

The good in life is inexhaustible.I wish to be a student the rest of my life, and I strive to share this conviction wherever I travel; as I am a born traveler: I have lived in New York City, Chicago, Honolulu, New Orleans, and Mexico City. There's much to be learned in the streets--rejoicing in them with their native peoples.I believe it is only education that can truly crystallize a purer vision of the world, so I pursue learning without end.

ACT Writing Tutor • +53 Subjects

I first started tutoring at Portland High School when a student one grade below me needed help in both bass clarinet and Spanish; proficient in both areas, I decided to give it a shot. Soon thereafter, I discovered the fulfillment that comes with helping others obtain personal and academic success.Upon starting college at the University of Southern California, I decided to combine my love for tutoring with my love for language to work for the National Language Institute as a One-on-One conversation partner for international students looking to improve their English skills.As an artist, tutoring is an opportunity to explore characters and environments otherwise foreign to me; the relationships that I develop with other students enhance my understanding of the world we live in and the human beings that inhabit it. Through this outlook, I am constantly learning in tandem with my students.The most important thing that I like to keep in mind as a tutor is the student's comfortability with learning and with the subject matter. A student has to want to learn in order to achieve success, and my job is to help the student invest interest in the material and to find a passion for learning.I work as an actor, director, and writer in New York. The opportunity to educate, inspire, and entertain others through the theatre fills me with gratification. In addition to working with the theatrical artistic medium, I enjoy dabbling in painting, pottery, and poetry in my spare time. On weekends, I like to take a break from artistic endeavors to enjoy nature, family, and friends. The artistic lifestyle has engrained a tenacity within my spine. Rest assured, I will never give up on a student.Hopefully I can help you achieve the success you are looking for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sociobiology can feel abstract when you're only reading textbook definitions of concepts like kin selection, reciprocal altruism, or evolutionary fitness. Expert tutors help bridge this gap by working through case studies and real-world scenarios—analyzing animal behavior, human social structures, or evolutionary trade-offs in ways that make the theory click. This approach builds deeper understanding rather than just memorization, which is especially important since sociobiology requires you to think critically about how evolution shapes behavior across species.

Students often struggle with three main areas: (1) balancing evolutionary explanations with proximate (immediate) causes of behavior, (2) understanding statistical concepts in behavioral studies and research methodology, and (3) grappling with the ethical implications of sociobiological explanations for human behavior. Personalized tutoring helps you work through these challenge areas systematically, clarifying the distinction between ultimate and proximate causes, interpreting real research data, and developing the analytical skills to evaluate sociobiological claims critically.

A strong Sociobiology tutor understands both the evolutionary biology foundations and the social sciences perspective—they can explain why a behavior evolved while also discussing its cultural and environmental context. They should be skilled at breaking down complex concepts like inclusive fitness or game theory into manageable pieces, helping you visualize abstract ideas through examples and diagrams. Look for someone who encourages you to ask "why" and "how do we know," since scientific reasoning is just as important as memorizing definitions.

Absolutely. If your course includes observational studies, behavioral experiments, or data analysis assignments, tutors can help you design your methodology, interpret your findings, and connect your results back to sociobiological theory. They can also guide you through reading and analyzing primary research papers, understanding experimental design, and thinking critically about what data actually supports or challenges different sociobiological hypotheses. This strengthens both your hands-on scientific skills and your understanding of how sociobiological knowledge is actually generated.

The most effective approach is understanding concepts, though you'll still need to know key terminology. Sociobiology exams typically ask you to apply concepts to new scenarios, compare different evolutionary explanations, or evaluate evidence—things you can't answer by pure memorization. Tutors help you move beyond definitions to build conceptual frameworks: understanding how natural selection leads to specific behavioral traits, how different organisms solve similar problems, and how to critique sociobiological arguments. This deeper understanding makes exam questions feel manageable rather than tricky.

Students typically see improvements in grade performance on exams and assignments, but equally important is gaining confidence in your ability to think like a sociobiologist. You'll get better at recognizing evolutionary explanations, spotting oversimplifications in sociobiological claims, and constructing logical arguments backed by evidence. Many students also report that personalized tutoring makes the subject feel more cohesive—the dots connect between evolutionary biology, animal behavior, human social structures, and research methodology in ways that make the material genuinely interesting rather than overwhelming.

Expert tutors use multiple strategies to help concepts click: drawing pedigree diagrams to show how relatedness works in kin selection, creating flow charts that trace how natural selection produces behavior over generations, or walking through step-by-step examples that show how game theory models predict animal interactions. By externalizing abstract ideas through diagrams, worked examples, and concrete scenarios, you build mental models that stick far better than reading definitions alone. This visual-conceptual approach is particularly valuable in sociobiology, where understanding "why" depends on seeing the logical chain from evolutionary pressures to behavioral outcomes.
