Cassandra
Certified Biology Tutor
Cassandra
BA Carnegie Mellon University
7+ Years Tutoring

Cassandra's biology degree anchors a tutoring practice that spans genetics, biochemistry, and organic chemistry — meaning she doesn't just teach a topic like gene expression in isolation but can trace it through transcription, protein folding, and the metabolic consequences downstream. Seven years of working across middle school through college levels have given her a sharp read on whether a student needs the big-picture ecological framework or the molecular-level detail. Rated 4.9 by students.

Certified Biology Tutor
Michael
BA UNLV
1+ Years Tutoring

Cell signaling pathways, gene expression, and the central dogma of molecular biology aren't just topics Michael tutors — they're the core of his degree concentration at UNLV. That daily immersion means he can explain concepts like transcription regulation or membrane transport with the kind of specificity that turns a confusing textbook diagram into something a student actually understands. He also has years of experience tutoring peers in competitive magnet programs, so he's used to working at a rigorous pace.

Samuel
BA University
1+ Years Tutoring

Samuel is a Biology major at UNLV who graduated from a competitive Biotechnology program at Northwest Career and Technical Academy, so he's been immersed in biological concepts from cellular respiration to genetics for years. He approaches topics like enzyme kinetics, DNA replication, and ecological modeling with the detail of someone who's studied them in both classroom and lab settings.

Andrea
BA University of California Los Angeles
1+ Years Tutoring

From cell signaling cascades to ecological food webs, biology covers an enormous range — and Andrea's Physiological Sciences degree means she can zoom in on molecular details or zoom out to organ-system-level thinking depending on what a student needs. She's especially sharp on cellular respiration, genetics, and human body systems, topics where her coursework went well beyond a standard intro bio class.

Kyle
Current Undergrad Student, Forensic Science University of New Haven
9+ Years Tutoring

Between his forensic science coursework and upper-level biology classes, Kyle has a deep working knowledge of cell biology, genetics, and ecological systems. He explains processes like mitosis, DNA replication, and protein synthesis by tracing each step visually, so students can reconstruct the logic on an exam rather than relying on rote memorization.

Elizabeth
MS Ferris State University • BA Ferris State University
9+ Years Tutoring

Elizabeth's bachelor's in biology isn't just a credential on paper — it means she's worked through genetics problems, dissected cellular respiration step by step, and traced evolutionary relationships across taxa. She teaches biology by linking molecular-level processes to organism-level outcomes, so a student learning about DNA transcription also understands why a single-nucleotide mutation can cascade into a visible phenotype.

Kate
MS Massachusetts Institute of Technology • BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
1+ Years Tutoring

Kate approaches biology through the lens of someone trained in environmental systems, which means topics like ecology, nutrient cycling, and cellular respiration get grounded in how living organisms actually interact with their surroundings. She's equally comfortable walking through genetics problems or explaining membrane transport, drawing on seven years of science tutoring to pinpoint exactly where confusion starts.

Annie
BA Cornell University
6+ Years Tutoring

Annie's cancer immunotherapy research at Cornell means she doesn't just teach biology concepts like cell signaling and immune response — she uses them daily in a working lab. As a teaching assistant for introductory biology courses, she's developed a knack for breaking down dense topics like gene expression and cellular metabolism into language that actually clicks.

Rahul
BS Cornell University
6+ Years Tutoring

Chemical engineering at Cornell meant Rahul had to master biology's molecular underpinnings — enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, cellular transport — as working tools for reactor design and bioprocess modeling, not just exam material. That engineering mindset makes him especially effective at teaching students to think through biological systems as logical, step-by-step processes rather than lists of vocabulary to memorize. Rated 4.9 by students.

Kelly
PhD Cornell University • BA Cornell University
1+ Years Tutoring

Few biology tutors have studied living systems from the molecular scale all the way up to tissue engineering. Kelly's research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering on cancer cell biology, combined with her biomedical engineering work at Tufts, means she can walk through everything from mitosis and gene expression to ecology and evolution with genuine depth. She's rated 5.0 by students.

Dennis
BA Princeton University
9+ Years Tutoring

Students who find biology's vocabulary overwhelming often do better when someone shows them the logic underneath the terms. Dennis approaches topics like cell respiration, DNA replication, and membrane transport by connecting each process to the energy and chemistry driving it — a perspective that comes naturally from his physics background and makes the material easier to retain.

Alec
BA Cornell University
5+ Years Tutoring

Genetics, genomics, and development were Alec's concentration at Cornell, which means he learned biology by zooming in on how organisms are built from their DNA up — and then spent semesters as a TA helping other students make that same journey through general chemistry and genetics coursework. He teaches topics like gene expression, inheritance patterns, and molecular genetics by tying each mechanism back to its developmental consequences, so the details carry meaning instead of just filling flashcards. Rated 4.8 by students.

Josef
BA Cornell University
1+ Years Tutoring

Josef's undergraduate teaching assistant work in introductory biochemistry at Cornell gave him a front-row seat to the exact moments biology students stumble — particularly when topics like metabolism, enzyme function, or gene expression shift from descriptive to mechanistic. His dual science degrees and deep comfort with the chemistry underlying living systems mean he can anchor a concept like signal transduction in its molecular details without losing the biological big picture. Rated 5.0 by students.

Helen
Current Undergrad, Biology, General Stanford University
10+ Years Tutoring

Stanford's biology program has Helen tackling everything from molecular genetics to ecology in real time, which means she's teaching the same material she's actively being tested on — a perspective that keeps her explanations current and exam-aware. She's particularly strong at breaking down processes like photosynthesis and gene expression into logical sequences that stick, drawing on four years of peer tutoring and TA experience in STEM courses.

4+ Years Tutoring

Abrahim earned his Biology degree cum laude from UCLA and is now completing his M.D. at the Medical College of Wisconsin, so he's spent years living inside biological concepts — from cellular respiration and genetics to ecology and evolution. His tutoring style zeroes in on knowledge gaps quickly, then builds understanding through targeted practice rather than passive review. Rated 5.0 by students.

Nishad
BA Pennsylvania State University-Main Campus
1+ Years Tutoring

First-year medical school at Thomas Jefferson means Nishad is actively building on the biology he mastered as a pre-med — genetics, cell biology, microbiology, anatomy — and seeing how each topic feeds directly into clinical problem-solving. That recent, layered exposure makes him especially effective at teaching the introductory and intermediate concepts that trip students up, because he remembers exactly which details mattered most when the material got harder.

Eric
BA Duke University
8+ Years Tutoring

Between his biomedical engineering major and his AP Biology background, Eric sees biology as an interconnected system rather than a pile of vocabulary terms. He unpacks topics like cellular respiration, DNA replication, and homeostasis by explaining the 'why' behind each mechanism, which makes retention far easier than flashcard drilling.
