Robin
Certified Science Tutor
Robin
MS University of Queensland • BA Brown University
9+ Years Tutoring

A biology degree and medical training give Robin an unusual depth when it comes to science — she can explain the water cycle to a younger learner and then pivot to cell structure or ecosystems with equal clarity. She teaches students to ask "why" and "how" questions about the natural world, turning observation into real scientific thinking.

Daniel
Certified Science Tutor
Daniel
BA Tulane University of Louisiana
10+ Years Tutoring

Finance coursework drills the same skills that trip students up in science — reading data tables, interpreting graphs, and figuring out which variable actually caused the change. Daniel applies that quantitative training to teach scientific reasoning as a step-by-step process: observe, hypothesize, test, then explain what the evidence actually tells you. His 31 ACT confirms he can handle the cross-disciplinary demands of science material that blends reading comprehension with numerical analysis.

Ashley
MED Northwestern State University of Louisiana
2+ Years Tutoring

I am an educator of the sciences. I have taught Life Science, Biology, Physical and Earth Sciences for fourteen years in grades 7-12. I trained with the Keystone Science School of Denver, Colorado, the LSU Coastal Roots Program and have earned over six hundred hours in science literacy training in many areas. Science has a very strong mathematical component and that is why I also specialize in Math tutoring.

Shelley
BA Northwestern University • Current Grad Student, Clinical Psychology Duke University
1+ Years Tutoring

Doctoral work in clinical psychology at Duke means Shelley designs and analyzes research studies regularly — controlling variables, interpreting statistical output, and defending conclusions in front of faculty who pick apart every methodological choice. That daily practice with the scientific method gives her a practical fluency she brings to teaching concepts like experimental design, data analysis, and hypothesis testing. Her 5.0 rating suggests she makes that rigor accessible rather than intimidating.

Phillip
BA Brown University
6+ Years Tutoring

A biomedical engineering major at Brown, Phillip lives at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and physics — which means he can explain how cellular respiration connects to thermodynamics or why force diagrams matter in anatomy. He tackles science by linking concepts across disciplines so students see the bigger picture instead of memorizing isolated facts.

Connor
MS Loyola University-Chicago • BA University of Notre Dame
6+ Years Tutoring

Earning dual bachelor's degrees in biological and physical sciences and a master's in biomedical sciences means Connor has spent years moving between disciplines — chemistry, physics, biology, and the math that ties them together. He unpacks scientific concepts by connecting them to real phenomena, whether that's explaining Newton's laws through everyday motion or tracing energy flow through an ecosystem. Rated 5.0 by students.

Sabira
BA Johns Hopkins University
5+ Years Tutoring

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.

Shayan
BA University at Buffalo • Current Grad Student, Pre-Health University of Pennsylvania
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

As a mechanical engineering student at Harvard, Christopher lives at the intersection of physics and chemistry daily — calculating forces, analyzing material properties, and modeling energy systems. That applied perspective makes him especially effective at showing students why scientific concepts matter beyond the textbook, turning abstract formulas into concrete, intuitive ideas.

Maya
BA Yale University
6+ Years Tutoring

A Yale education heavy on critical reading and analytical writing gave Maya the tools to tackle science from the comprehension side — parsing dense passages, extracting key claims from lab descriptions, and explaining results in clear, organized language. She's particularly useful for students who understand the concepts but freeze when asked to write up an experiment or interpret what a data table is actually saying. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Valerie
BA University of Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Jennifer
MS New York University • BA Mcgill University
5+ Years Tutoring

Jennifer's ELA training at NYU's accelerated MAT program might seem distant from science, but teaching students to read dense nonfiction closely — pulling claims from evidence, evaluating an author's reasoning, spotting unsupported conclusions — is exactly what science coursework demands when students face lab reports, textbook passages, and data-heavy questions. She's especially useful for students who understand the concepts but struggle to articulate their thinking in written explanations or short-answer responses.

Akarsh
MS Yale University • BA Yale University
9+ Years Tutoring

Holding a master's in cellular and molecular biology, Akarsh brings deep content knowledge across biology, chemistry, and physics — the three pillars most science courses draw from. He unpacks concepts like cellular respiration, stoichiometry, or Newton's laws by connecting them to observable, real-world phenomena that make the underlying logic click.

Simon
BA University of Pennsylvania
9+ Years Tutoring

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.

Zosia
BA Yale University
4+ Years Tutoring

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.
