Sam
MS Mount Sinai School of Medicine • BA The University of Chicago
14+ Years Tutoring

Holding a master's in biomedical science and an undergraduate degree in biological sciences, Sam has spent years inside labs and lecture halls across biology, chemistry, and physiology. She teaches science by linking concepts across disciplines — explaining, for instance, how the chemistry of pH connects to enzyme function in biology and then to real diagnostic scenarios in physiology. That interconnected view tends to make individual facts far easier to remember.

Zoe
BA Macalester College
1+ Years Tutoring

An English major might not be the first person you'd pick for science — but Zoe's strength is in the skill that quietly drives most science grades: reading comprehension. Understanding what a question is actually asking, pulling key information from a dense passage, and writing clear explanations of observations are all literacy tasks disguised as science, and that's exactly where her Macalester College training kicks in. Her 4.9 rating suggests students respond well to the approach.

Franshesca
BA Pace University-New York
6+ Years Tutoring

Studying behavioral neuroscience means Franshesca lives in the overlap of biology, chemistry, and research methods every day. She explains scientific concepts — cell structure, chemical reactions, experimental design — by connecting them to real examples from her coursework rather than leaving them abstract. That approach tends to make retention click in a way that rereading a textbook doesn't.

Erika
MS Harvard University
1+ Years Tutoring

A Master of Public Policy degree is built on reading research, interpreting data, and evaluating whether evidence actually supports a claim — the same core skills students need when working through the scientific method or analyzing experimental results. Erika applies that policy-analysis lens to science material, teaching students to identify variables, question assumptions, and explain what data means rather than just restating it. Her 5.0 rating and ACT score of 32 suggest the approach lands.
