Award-Winning Science Tutors
serving Spring Valley, NV

Tim's Computational Neuroscience major sits at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and quantitative modeling, giving him an unusually integrated view of the sciences. He taught chemistry and biology at a STEM summer camp for 6th–9th graders, so he knows how to break down concepts like atomic structure, cell processes, and experimental design for students still building their scientific vocabulary.

Tony's master's in Latin American Studies involved substantial research methodology — gathering primary sources, analyzing demographic and environmental data, and drawing evidence-based conclusions across disciplines including geography, economics, and ecology. That cross-disciplinary training means he can walk students through the scientific method with real-world context, connecting abstract concepts like hypothesis testing and variable control to tangible examples from fields they might not expect.

Applied mathematics coursework means Daniel spends his days working with the same tools science relies on — modeling relationships, interpreting data, and translating real-world phenomena into equations that actually predict outcomes. He's especially useful for the quantitative side of science: unit conversions, proportional reasoning, and making sense of graphs that would otherwise blur together. Rated 4.7 by students.

Northwestern's engineering sequence put Dylan through both mechanics and electricity & magnetism at the college level, so he understands the physics backbone that most science courses build on. He unpacks tricky concepts — free-body diagrams, circuit analysis, energy conservation — by tying equations back to the physical intuition behind them.

Yasmeen's strongest suit is teaching students how to read like a scientist — pulling claims from dense passages, interpreting what a graph actually says, and spotting where an experiment's logic holds up or breaks down. Her Penn education in history and political science was built on evaluating evidence and constructing arguments from sources, which is exactly what science asks students to do with data instead of documents. Rated 5.0 by students.

Biology, chemistry, physics, biochemistry, organic chemistry — Cassandra's science background is unusually broad, built on a Biology degree and years of tutoring across the hard sciences. That range matters because science subjects constantly borrow from each other; she connects thermodynamics in chemistry to energy flow in biology, or vectors in physics to enzyme kinetics, so concepts reinforce instead of competing.

I am passionate about helping students because I've been a student my whole life! Even though I'm a professor now, I love to learn. And now that I have experience, I love to help others along the learning journey. I have degrees in English and education from Rice University, UT Austin, Texas State, and Texas A&M. I also studied abroad in England at the University of East Anglia and have traveled to many countries. I tutor English and Spanish (my family is from Mexico City). My favorite thing to tutor is writing, and I have taught writing from the Kindergarten-graduate school (Ph.D.) level (what I currently do). I am here to share tools and tips to help you succeed in your learning journey.

Shawn's M.S. in Chemistry gives him deep fluency across the physical sciences, but what sets his science tutoring apart is his insistence on connecting concepts — showing how energy transfer in physics relates to bond energy in chemistry relates to nutrient cycles in environmental science. He breaks down the scientific method not as a list to memorize but as a thinking tool students can apply to any lab report or data analysis question. Rated 4.9 by students.

I'm trying to work on personal projects. I really enjoy snowboarding, and have been doing that since the third grade. I also enjoy playing sports and video games.

Growing up in Hilo on Hawai'i's Big Island surrounded by active volcanoes, rainforests, and marine ecosystems gave Iliana a tangible connection to life and earth sciences that most tutors can't replicate. She ties textbook concepts like ecological cycles, biodiversity, and environmental systems back to observable, real-world examples that make the material easier to retain.

Having taught math from pre-algebra through calculus, Gabriela knows the quantitative backbone of science inside out — unit conversions, graphing relationships, and interpreting data tables are second nature to her. Her Master's in Math Education also means she can spot exactly where a student's math gaps are creating confusion in science, and address both at once. Rated 5.0 by students.

Economics coursework — particularly statistics, modeling, and interpreting quantitative data — gave Martina practice with the same analytical reasoning that science demands: isolating variables, reading graphs, and explaining what results actually mean. Her multilingual background also turns out to be surprisingly practical here, since so much of science vocabulary traces back to Latin and Italian roots she can break apart on sight. Rated 4.8 by students.

Emily's pharmacy residency in acute care gave her deep, applied science knowledge — biology, chemistry, and physiology aren't abstract subjects for her but tools she uses daily in clinical practice. She unpacks scientific concepts by tying them to how the body actually works, which tends to make topics like cellular respiration or chemical equilibrium far more intuitive.

A chemical engineering background means Zelalem approaches science the way working scientists do — connecting energy, matter, and mathematical relationships across chemistry and physics rather than treating them as separate chapters. He breaks down concepts like stoichiometry, thermodynamics, and kinematics by tying them to real engineering problems he solved during his graduate research. Rated 4.9 by students.

Studying cell and molecular biology at UNLV while also tutoring physics, chemistry, and environmental science means Michael sees the connections between disciplines that most students miss — like how thermodynamics principles from physics explain enzyme kinetics in biology. He unpacks scientific reasoning as a skill rather than treating each subject as an isolated set of facts. That cross-disciplinary lens makes complex topics click faster.

Electrical engineering at UNLV means Serena lives inside physics, chemistry, and applied science every day — circuits, energy transfer, material properties. She brings that hands-on perspective to younger students by tying science concepts like force, matter, and ecosystems back to things they can actually observe. Curiosity drives her teaching style: she'd rather a student ask ten questions than silently nod through a lesson.

An International Relations major at Tufts doesn't sound like a science background, but Michelle's economics minor and 1530 SAT required exactly the kind of analytical reasoning science demands — reading data carefully, weighing evidence, and distinguishing what results actually prove from what they merely suggest. She's especially handy for students who can handle the concepts but struggle to put scientific explanations into clear, precise language, since writing-intensive coursework was the backbone of her degree.

Sam's Human Biology degree means he's spent real time with cell biology, genetics, anatomy, and ecology — not just skimmed a textbook. He peer-tutored life sciences in college and approaches each topic by connecting it to something tangible, like linking mitosis to wound healing or explaining osmosis through everyday cooking.

I'm a 2016 graduate of Pepperdine University with my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry. Currently I'm preparing to apply to optometry school; I hope to be accepted for the 2018-19 academic year. During my time in college, I was involved as a teaching assistant for General Chemistry I and II laboratory, as a tutor for General Chemistry I, as a member of the Regents Scholar Student Board, and as a "small group" leader through multiple organizations. I am a member of the sorority Pi Beta Phi and held the positions of Historian, Senior Transition Leader, and member of the Leadership and Nominating Committee during my undergraduate years. As far as tutoring goes, I offer my services to students of all ages and in numerous subjects. I particularly enjoy tutoring the STEM subjects. I also thoroughly enjoy working with female STEM students, which allows me to serve as a role model and to offer additional encouragement for my female students to not lose interest in STEM subjects. A large part of my tutoring style focuses on logical thinking for how to tackle new and difficult problems using previous knoledge and educated hypotheses; I have found that my students find both success and a boost in confidence using my methodology. Aside from my academic interests, I love cooking and baking, my cat, photography, and National Parks.

Studying Biomedical Engineering at USC means Deepal lives at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and physics every day. He unpacks scientific concepts by connecting them to real applications — like how fluid dynamics shows up in blood flow or why cellular respiration is really just an energy transfer problem — which makes abstract material easier to retain.

Having attended math and science focused schools throughout her education, Megan built an intuitive comfort with scientific reasoning — forming hypotheses, interpreting lab data, and connecting concepts across biology, chemistry, and physics — long before her economics coursework reinforced those quantitative skills. She's especially good at walking students through graph interpretation and experimental design, treating each problem like a puzzle to decode rather than a set of facts to memorize.

An economics major with a math minor at Ohio State's Honors College, Brian spends most of his coursework building and testing models — forming hypotheses about how systems behave, gathering data, and figuring out whether the evidence supports the theory. That process is the scientific method in everything but name, and he applies it when teaching students to set up controlled experiments, read data tables, and explain results clearly. His 33 ACT confirms he can handle the quantitative and analytical demands science throws at students.

Computer science sits at the intersection of math and applied science, so Million brings a quantitative, systems-level mindset to scientific concepts. He's particularly effective at walking through data interpretation, unit analysis, and the kind of structured problem-solving that shows up across physics, chemistry, and biology coursework.

A mechanical engineering degree means Elizabeth didn't just study science in a textbook — she applied physics principles to real systems and used chemistry and biology concepts across interdisciplinary coursework. She's particularly strong at teaching students to set up problems correctly, interpret units, and connect formulas to the physical phenomena they describe.

Working daily with high schoolers as a case manager, Phonemany knows exactly which science concepts students tend to fake-understand — and which ones actually need to be rebuilt from scratch. She uses that instinct to zero in on gaps in topics like classification, basic chemistry, or earth systems before they snowball into bigger problems. Rated 5.0 by students.

Having trained specifically to teach middle and high school students, Justin knows how to scaffold math-heavy science concepts — unit conversions, rate calculations, interpreting graphs — so they don't become roadblocks to understanding the actual science. His Secondary Math Education degree means he's practiced at diagnosing exactly where a student's quantitative reasoning breaks down, then rebuilding that step so the experiment or formula makes sense again.

Lauryn's science tutoring draws on the same analytical thinking she applies to her strongest subjects — breaking complex information into claims supported by evidence. Her 32 ACT composite shows she can navigate scientific reasoning and data interpretation, and she's especially good at teaching students how to read graphs, extract key variables, and connect experimental results to underlying concepts.

Accounting and finance coursework drills the same core skills science demands — collecting data, testing assumptions, and drawing defensible conclusions from the numbers in front of you. Karen applies that quantitative discipline to teaching students how to set up controlled comparisons, read graphs accurately, and explain results rather than just report them. Rated 4.5 by students.

Orestes's accounting and finance background means he's spent years reading tables, tracking variables, and drawing conclusions from numerical data — the same core skills students need when interpreting science experiments and graphing results. He's especially effective at walking through the math-heavy side of science, like unit conversions and calculating averages, since quantitative reasoning is already his daily language. Rated 4.9 by students.

Between his biology major at UNLV and his Advanced Honors Diploma in biotechnology, Samuel has spent years inside labs and science classrooms. He unpacks topics across biology and chemistry — from cellular respiration pathways to stoichiometry — by tying abstract processes to tangible examples students can visualize and remember.

A UCLA Physiological Sciences degree means Andrea spent years moving between biology labs, chemistry problem sets, and anatomy dissections — exactly the kind of cross-disciplinary thinking that general science courses demand. She breaks down topics like cellular respiration, chemical bonding, and ecological systems by connecting them to how the human body actually works, which tends to make abstract concepts click. Rated 4.9 by students.

Anthropology is a science — fieldwork, hypothesis testing, cross-cultural data analysis — and Justin's degree means he learned the scientific method by actually using it to study human populations and behavior. He's especially strong at teaching students how to move from observation to explanation, whether that means classifying organisms or interpreting results from a controlled experiment. Rated 5.0 by students.

From thermodynamics to life sciences to physical chemistry, Katherine covers an unusually wide range of science disciplines, which means she can show students how concepts thread across fields — like how energy conservation in physics mirrors enthalpy changes in chemistry. She unpacks each topic with concrete examples and real-world applications that make abstract principles feel tangible.

Kendra's sociology and criminology coursework at Fordham involves constant practice with the nuts and bolts of scientific inquiry — designing surveys, controlling for confounding variables, and running statistical analyses on real datasets. That training means she can walk students through hypothesis formation, data collection, and interpreting results as someone who actually uses the scientific method in her own studies, not just reads about it in a textbook.

Early science is really about learning to observe, ask questions, and describe what's happening — skills that lean heavily on language. Sanda's English background means she can teach a young student how to read a diagram, record an observation in a lab notebook, or explain the water cycle in their own words. She turns vocabulary-heavy topics like plant life cycles and states of matter into hands-on conversations rather than memorization lists.

Forensic science sits at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and physics, so Kyle doesn't just teach scientific concepts in isolation — he connects them. Whether it's understanding cell structure, balancing chemical equations, or interpreting force diagrams, he draws on upper-level university coursework across all three disciplines.

Science isn't Adriana's primary credential, but her applied math background is a serious asset in courses where quantitative reasoning is the real bottleneck — unit conversions in chemistry, kinematics equations in physics, or data interpretation in biology labs. She tackles the math-heavy parts of science coursework so students can focus on understanding the concepts behind the numbers.

While science isn't Alexis's core specialty, her graduate program in Agricultural Leadership at Texas A&M involves applied scientific reasoning — interpreting data, evaluating research methods, and understanding how evidence supports a claim. She's a strong fit for students who need to sharpen their science literacy and reading-heavy skills like analyzing experiments and drawing conclusions from graphs.

Biology, chemistry, and physics all demand a slightly different kind of thinking — memorization for one, dimensional analysis for another, free-body diagrams for a third. As a biology major with a math minor at UNLV, Henry is comfortable across the sciences and particularly strong at connecting quantitative reasoning to lab-based concepts. He unpacks problems step by step so students build real understanding instead of pattern-matching answers.

Chris's linguistics degree from NYU trained him to do exactly what science requires — observe patterns, form hypotheses about how systems work, and test those hypotheses against evidence. He's especially useful for students who struggle with scientific vocabulary, since breaking unfamiliar terms into Greek and Latin roots is something linguists do instinctively. Rated 5.0 by students.
