Jamie's anthropology training involved a surprising amount of science — biological anthropology covers evolution, genetics, and human anatomy in ways that overlap directly with high school biology curricula. She approaches scientific concepts the same way she approaches writing: break the big idea into its components, understand each piece, then rebuild. For students who need support connecting scientific vocabulary to actual understanding, that structured approach pays off.

A molecular and cellular biology degree from Johns Hopkins plus a physician assistant credential means Leah has lived general science from the cellular level to whole-body systems. She unpacks topics like the scientific method, energy transfer, and basic chemistry by connecting them to real biological examples — how enzymes speed up reactions, why pH matters in blood, what osmosis actually looks like in a cell.
A cellular and molecular biology major at Johns Hopkins, Christopher tackles general science by showing students how to think like scientists: forming hypotheses, interpreting data, and connecting observations to underlying principles. Whether the topic is ecosystems, chemical reactions, or human body systems, he draws on coursework that spans biology, chemistry, and environmental science. That breadth means he can answer the "why does this matter?" question with real examples from multiple scientific fields.
I am a public school reading teacher in the elementary grades. I have a passion for educating young people and guiding them to academic success, either in or outside of the classroom. I have experience as a classroom teacher and a private tutor, in subjects that range from Reading and Writing to History and French. In my opinion, the path to obtaining a good education is formed by hard work, diligence, persistence, and an open mind. I work on a daily basis to instill these qualities in my students and tutees. I also believe that forming meaningful relationships with my students creates an environment in which learning is the goal. In my spare time, I enjoy running, golf, reading, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.
Earning his degree in cellular and molecular biology gave Mark deep fluency with the scientific method — forming hypotheses, designing experiments, interpreting data. He brings that real lab perspective to general science tutoring, whether a student is tackling the water cycle, basic chemistry, or human body systems. Concepts stick faster when they're connected to how actual scientists think.
A cognitive neuroscience degree from Johns Hopkins and a biomedical sciences master's mean Kinkela has spent years inside actual science — designing experiments, interpreting data, and understanding biological systems at the cellular level. She unpacks topics like the scientific method, body systems, and basic chemistry by tying them to real research examples. Her 36 on the ACT Science section confirms she can read data-heavy passages with precision.
As a graduate of Johns Hopkins University with a Bachelor's in Materials Science and Engineering, I have over 5 years of tutoring experience across various subjects, including Algebra, Geometry, Biology and Chemistry. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident to explore and ask questions. I believe in tailoring my approach to meet each student's unique needs, encouraging them to connect concepts with real-world applications. My passion for teaching stems from witnessing students gain clarity and confidence in their abilities, which motivates me to continually refine my methods. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring new technologies and engaging with nature, which often inspires my lessons.
A math degree builds the exact quantitative backbone that science depends on — reading graphs, manipulating formulas, calculating rates of change, and converting units without second-guessing. Christopher brings that fluency to the measurement and data-heavy portions of science coursework, where students often struggle not with the concepts themselves but with the math underneath them. His 5.0 rating suggests he makes that technical side feel approachable.
A physics degree is essentially a crash course in every branch of science — mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and the math that ties them together. Nima uses that cross-disciplinary fluency to teach chemistry concepts like stoichiometry or biology topics like energy transfer with consistent underlying logic. He covers subjects from 6th-grade earth science through AP Physics C.
For students who need support keeping up with a general science course, Jane offers structured help with reading comprehension of scientific texts, interpreting data in lab reports, and writing clear conclusions. Her strength is in making sure students understand what a question is actually asking before they try to answer it.
Having read widely across fields during her undergraduate studies — including scientific texts and research-based academic work — Alexis approaches science topics by teaching students how to break down dense material and extract key concepts. She tackles vocabulary-heavy subjects like biology and earth science by connecting terminology to real-world contexts that make it easier to retain.
A biomedical engineering degree requires deep fluency in physics, chemistry, and biology — so Rickey can move comfortably between topics like cell structure, chemical reactions, and force diagrams depending on what a student needs. He connects abstract science concepts to real-world applications, which tends to make the material click faster than rote memorization alone.
A computer science background means Michael thinks about science the way it's actually practiced: forming hypotheses, testing them against data, and revising. He's particularly strong at connecting abstract scientific concepts — like energy conservation or wave behavior — to concrete, tangible examples that make the reasoning stick rather than feel like a list of formulas to memorize.
Lee's background spans physics, astronomy, chemistry, and biology, so he connects scientific concepts across disciplines instead of treating each topic in isolation. His time in UMD's Physics Education Research group gave him evidence-based strategies for teaching everything from energy conservation to cellular respiration — he knows which common misconceptions trip students up and addresses them head-on.
Nine years as a school counselor meant Banke regularly collaborated with science teachers on student interventions, giving her a practical sense of where kids lose confidence — often around vocabulary-heavy units or multi-step lab procedures. Her psychology degree also required coursework in research methods and statistics, so she can walk students through designing experiments, identifying variables, and interpreting results with real fluency. Holds a 5.0 rating.
Studying genetic counseling at Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine means Weilong lives at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and data analysis every day. He unpacks scientific concepts the same way he explains genetic information to patients — by finding the analogy or framework that makes something abstract feel concrete. Whether a student needs support in life sciences, physical sciences, or lab-based reasoning, his background covers it.
I am currently an Undergraduate Freshman at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) studying Biomedical Engineering on a Pre-Medical track. I tutor mostly math-related subjects, such as Calculus and Linear Algebra. I push hard in my personal work to gain a strong, conceptual backing for almost all subjects, and am able to help others efficiently with this. Understanding material conceptually, rather than analytically, is vital to being able to think and apply knowledge. This is my learning and teaching philosophy. I am patient and thorough; I am caring and understanding. I look forward to our first session!
While science isn't Juan's primary academic focus, his Classical Languages and philosophy training built the precise analytical thinking that scientific reasoning requires — forming hypotheses, evaluating evidence, and distinguishing correlation from causation. He's particularly effective at teaching students how to read dense scientific texts carefully and extract key information from data-heavy passages. That skill set translates well to coursework where understanding the material, not just memorizing terms, is the real challenge.
Learning is exciting! Anything new that you learn - an idea, a skill, a fact - changes you and paves the way for the next new idea, skill or fact to come along. I love learning. I love helping other people to learn. Be patient! Learning isn't always easy. (Teaching isn't always easy either.) So, be patient. Students need to be patient and teachers need to be patient. Sometimes, a new idea seems too challenging. That's the first time you see it. The second time, it starts to become more clear. Sometimes, our brains just need a little time to absorb. So, be patient! It will come.

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.
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.
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.
Emily's undergraduate degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and her MPH in Epidemiology give her deep fluency in both life sciences and the quantitative reasoning that underpins them. She unpacks topics like cell division, genetics, and experimental design by tying abstract concepts to real-world examples from public health research. Rated 5.0 by students.
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.
Earning a medical doctorate means Jessica didn't just study science — she lived it across biology, chemistry, physics, and anatomy for years. She teaches scientific concepts by linking them to real processes in the body or the natural world, making abstract ideas like energy transfer or cellular respiration tangible and easier to retain.
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 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.
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.
Sociology research at Harvard meant Solange spent years designing surveys, analyzing datasets, and defending conclusions in front of professors who demanded airtight reasoning — all of which is applied scientific method, even if the subject matter was social rather than physical. She's especially effective at teaching students to distinguish correlation from causation and to read charts and graphs with a critical eye, since those skills were daily requirements in her coursework. Her 34 ACT confirms she can handle the quantitative side of science just as comfortably as the conceptual.
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.
