From studying malaria genetics at Notre Dame to working in a public health laboratory, Haley has spent years applying the scientific method across biology, chemistry, and microbiology — not just reading about it. She breaks down concepts like experimental design, data interpretation, and systems-level thinking so students see how different science disciplines connect rather than treating each as its own silo.

Stanford's Human Biology program sits at the intersection of molecular science, ethics, and public health, which gave Joshua an unusually broad view of how scientific concepts connect to the real world. He breaks down topics like cell signaling, genetics, and ecological systems by tying them to concrete examples — how a virus hijacks a cell, why antibiotic resistance spreads — so the underlying logic sticks. That approach is especially useful for students who can memorize facts but struggle to explain the 'why' behind them.

Mustafa's math degree at Vanderbilt gives him a quantitative edge when breaking down science concepts — interpreting data tables, balancing chemical equations, or converting units in physics problems. He treats science as a subject where precision with numbers matters just as much as understanding the concepts behind them.

As a math major at Amherst College with a 34 ACT, Rosalyn brings serious quantitative muscle to the parts of science that trip students up most — calculating density, converting units, interpreting graphs, and making sense of formulas in physics or chemistry. She's especially good at finding a second or third way to explain a concept when the first approach doesn't land, which matters in a subject where one confusing diagram can derail an entire lesson. Rated 5.0 by students.

Working with newly-arrived immigrant children in Boston means Jennessa regularly explains everyday scientific concepts — weather patterns, plant growth, how the body works — in plain, accessible language, which is exactly the skill that makes science click for any student still building content vocabulary. She leans on hands-on examples and real-world connections to make topics like states of matter or basic ecology feel intuitive rather than textbook-heavy. Rated 5.0 by students.

Aerospace engineering at Georgia Tech means Emma lives in the overlap of physics, chemistry, and applied math every day — forces, thermodynamics, fluid behavior, and the calculus that ties them together. She's particularly good at translating abstract scientific principles into concrete, visual explanations that make problem-solving feel less like guesswork.

As an environmental studies major at Oberlin, Nina connects science to the real world — explaining ecosystems, weather patterns, or the water cycle through examples kids can actually observe outside their window. She's especially strong with earth and life science topics, making vocabulary-heavy material stick by tying it to hands-on thinking rather than rote memorization.

Studying wildlife science at the master's level means Darcey applies the scientific method daily — designing field studies, analyzing ecological data, and interpreting results across biology, chemistry, and environmental systems. She breaks down concepts like energy transfer, natural selection, and experimental design by connecting them to real ecosystems she's actually studied in the field.

I graduated with a BA in Politics and a BA in Anthropology from NYU in 2022. I also hold a MS in Biomedical Anthropology and a Graduate Certificate in Forensic Health and Nursing from SUNY Binghamton (graduated May 2024). I have worked in education, with a previous position with America Reads/America Counts teaching elementary students in the NYC public school system. My previous virtual tutoring experience was with Curious Cardinals, where I had tutored high school students with the following: forensic science, biology (anatomy, genetics), SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing, ACT English and ACT Reading. I have experience working in forensic science policy at the Innocence Project, which is an organization focused on exonerating individuals who were wrongfully convicted of crime. In this role, I have written testimonials, case reports, and research articles on forensic identification methods and their legal, ethical, political, and privacy implications in casework. I have also worked in the forensic science sector as a Criminalist II at the NYC Office of Chief Medical Examiner (OCME). In this position, I assisted medical examiners (forensic pathologists) in the positive identification of deceased individuals throughout New York City. I also assisted in missing persons inquiries that were brought to the agency. Recently, I completed a research project in Vitoria de Santo Antao and Recife (both in the state of Pernambuco, in northeast Brazil) as a Fulbright Grantee. My research focused on osteology, forensic anthropology, and forensic genetics. My project involved metric analyses of bones combined with analyzing genetic information from DNA taken from bones. Currently, I am a doctoral student of Biological Sciences - Genetics at the University of Sao Paulo (USP). As a doctoral student, my dissertation project is expanding on the research I did with the Fulbright grant and is based on the central question/problem: What is the evolutionary relationship between skeletal morphology (primarily size), external pigmentation (i.e., skin, hair), and the presence of vitamin D deficiencies (which are indicated by the presence of skeletal lesions and decreased bone mineral density)? My favorite subjects in school were biology and anatomy, U.S. history, statistics, pre-algebra and algebra I, language and literature. I also partook in concert band and orchestra both in high school and in college. I am excited to share my skills and knowledge in these subjects with you, as well!

I am an aerospace engineering student. I am very passionate about teaching math, physics, and chemistry. I realized tutoring was my calling while working as a tutor at my school. Seeing students gain a greater understanding of the subject was the highlight of my day while working there.

Biomedical engineering trained Sam to move fluidly between biology, chemistry, and physics — the same integration students need when tackling science coursework. He unpacks concepts like cellular respiration or circuit analysis by tying them back to the underlying math, which turns abstract diagrams into something students can actually reason through.

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 economics degree requires serious fluency in hypothesis testing, data analysis, and statistical reasoning — and Kathy's dual background in economics and studio art means she can tackle both the quantitative and observational sides of science coursework. She's particularly good at teaching students how to read graphs, set up controlled comparisons, and translate raw data into clear written explanations, blending the analytical rigor of her econ training with an artist's eye for visual detail.

An economics degree means Simon spent years building and testing models — controlling for variables, interpreting data sets, and figuring out whether the numbers actually support a conclusion or just look like they do. That same process underpins every science class, from setting up a controlled experiment to reading a graph and explaining what it reveals. His 1540 SAT confirms the quantitative and analytical chops to back it up.

A neurobiology-focused biology degree from Northwestern means Nina didn't just take introductory science — she studied cellular mechanisms, genetics, and brain physiology in depth. She connects textbook concepts like mitosis or enzyme kinetics to real research contexts, which tends to make the material click faster than rote memorization. Rated 5.0 by students.

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.

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.

Having studied biology and chemistry alongside her political science degree at the University of Chicago, Asta can walk students through core science concepts — from cell structure to chemical reactions — with genuine content knowledge rather than just test-taking tricks. Her 35 ACT confirms she handled the Science section's rapid-fire data interpretation at a near-perfect level, and she brings that same ability to teach students how to read graphs, pull patterns from tables, and connect evidence to conclusions. Rated 5.0 by students.

Pre-health coursework at the University of Pennsylvania means Shayan has lived the full gauntlet — biology, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and anatomy — and knows how to connect those disciplines into a coherent picture. He teaches science by grounding every concept in a concrete example, whether that's explaining cellular respiration through energy metabolism or walking through organ systems one function at a time.

Applied math and computer science at Johns Hopkins means Sabira spends her days quantifying patterns and testing models — the same core loop students encounter in science when they're asked to measure, predict, and explain. She's particularly strong on the computational side of science: reading data tables, graphing relationships, and working through the math embedded in physics or chemistry problems. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Between a Caltech degree spanning economics and computer science, coursework that ranged from AP Chemistry to physics and engineering, and a 1580 SAT, Brian has unusually deep firsthand experience with the scientific disciplines most tutors only teach from a textbook. He's especially strong on the quantitative backbone of science — setting up equations from word problems, interpreting data sets, and connecting mathematical models to physical phenomena like thermodynamics or mechanics.

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.
