Luke
Certified Science Tutor
Luke
MS Yale University • BA Davidson College
9+ Years Tutoring

Luke's English and theology training built a habit of close reading and systematic argumentation that he carries into science — teaching students to parse dense passages about ecosystems or chemical reactions the same way he'd break down a complex text. His middle school science teaching experience means he knows exactly which vocabulary and diagram-interpretation skills trip students up at that level, and he builds lessons around those sticking points rather than covering everything at once.

Frank
Certified Science Tutor
Frank
MS Stanford University
14+ Years Tutoring

Frank's science tutoring centers on physics, where he has taught at the Regents, AP, and SAT Subject Test levels. He emphasizes setting up problems methodically — drawing free-body diagrams, identifying conservation laws, choosing the right kinematic equation — so students build a problem-solving process they can trust on exams.

Benjamin
MS University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
1+ Years Tutoring

Benjamin's approach to science leans on the same skills he teaches in his linguistics courses: reading complex material carefully, interpreting data, and drawing conclusions that the evidence actually supports. He's strongest on the literacy side of science — helping students parse dense textbook passages, understand experimental design, and write clear lab reports. For students who grasp the concepts but struggle to communicate them on paper, that's often the missing piece.

Certified Science Tutor
Saad
BA Mercy College
8+ Years Tutoring

A finance degree means Saad spent semesters buried in statistics, data modeling, and quantitative analysis — skills that translate cleanly to teaching students how to read graphs, interpret experimental results, and work through the math embedded in science coursework. He's particularly effective at showing students how to set up calculations involving rates, proportions, and unit conversions without letting the numbers overshadow the underlying scientific concepts.

Sam
BA Vanderbilt University
1+ Years Tutoring

Sam's economics degree from Vanderbilt required heavy coursework in statistical analysis and interpreting empirical data — skills that translate directly to reading graphs, identifying variables, and understanding experimental design in science. His history training adds another layer: evaluating evidence, weighing competing explanations, and building arguments from observations rather than assumptions. That combination makes him especially effective at teaching students to think through science problems instead of just memorizing terms.

Dexter
PhD Fordham University • BA Princeton University
1+ Years Tutoring

A PhD in Law and an economics degree mean Dexter has spent years doing what science fundamentally requires — building arguments from evidence, questioning assumptions, and testing whether conclusions actually hold up under scrutiny. He's especially strong at walking students through data interpretation and experimental design, treating each lab or worksheet like a case where the evidence has to speak for itself. Rated 4.7 by students.

Stella
BA University
1+ Years Tutoring

Stella's background in anatomy, physiology, and biology means she can connect scientific concepts across systems — explaining, for instance, how cellular respiration ties into organ function and whole-body homeostasis. She closes every session with a rapid-fire quiz to lock in vocabulary, processes, and diagrams before a student walks away.

Gregg
MS CUNY Lehman College
13+ Years Tutoring

A math master's degree means Gregg has spent years working with the quantitative backbone of science — unit conversions, proportional reasoning, graphing relationships, and interpreting numerical data from experiments. He's especially useful when students hit the calculation-heavy parts of physical science or chemistry and need someone who can make the math feel intuitive rather than like a separate obstacle. Rated 4.9 by students.

Maureen
MS Manhattanville College • BA Villanova University
14+ Years Tutoring

Eight months living in Madrid taught Maureen how to learn by immersion — observing closely, testing assumptions, and adjusting on the fly — which is essentially the scientific method in action. She brings that same curiosity-driven approach to science tutoring, particularly when walking students through how to form a hypothesis, design a simple experiment, and explain what their results actually mean. Her state-certified teaching background means she knows how to pace a lesson so concepts build on each other instead of piling up.

Certified Science Tutor
Joseph
BA CUNY Brooklyn College
1+ Years Tutoring

Psychology sits at the intersection of social science and hard science, and Joseph uses that overlap to make scientific reasoning click — interpreting data tables, understanding experimental design, and distinguishing correlation from causation. His approach treats science as a way of thinking rather than a set of facts to memorize.
