A biology degree, a veterinary doctorate in progress, and an active role on a cancer research team — Marika has lived this subject from introductory ecology all the way to molecular genetics. She's especially skilled at connecting big-picture themes like evolution and energy flow to the cellular and molecular details that explain them. Rated 5.0 across her sessions.

Genetics, Cell Biology, and Development as a major means Jaya has spent semesters dissecting how organisms work from the molecular level up — gene expression, inheritance patterns, cellular differentiation — and her pre-med track layers on the physiology and ecology that round out a full biology curriculum. She's especially strong at connecting genetics concepts to their downstream biological effects, like tracing how a single mutation can ripple through protein function, cell behavior, and organismal phenotype.

Cancer research in two university labs means Brian doesn't just know biology from a textbook — he's pipetted DNA, analyzed cell cultures, and traced signaling pathways in living systems. His genetics, cell biology, and development major at the University of Minnesota makes him especially sharp on molecular biology, gene expression, and cellular processes, and he teaches these topics through active problem-solving rather than passive review.

Jane's physics degree gives her an unusual entry point into biology — she naturally thinks about living systems in terms of energy transfer, fluid dynamics, and electrical signaling, which makes topics like action potentials, osmosis, and metabolic thermodynamics click in a way that pure memorization never achieves. Her molecular biology and neuroscience coursework rounds out that quantitative instinct with the cellular and systems-level detail students need for exams. Rated 4.9 by students.

Mikkel earned his biology degree from Carleton College with a biochemistry concentration, so he's equally comfortable explaining CRISPR mechanisms in molecular genetics as he is walking through ecological food webs or Mendelian inheritance patterns. His ongoing medical field preparation keeps these concepts fresh, and he connects them to real-world applications that make dense material easier to retain.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
