Amy
BA University of Pennsylvania
9+ Years Tutoring

Latin study turns out to be surprisingly useful preparation for science — Amy's experience with Latin means she can teach students to decode unfamiliar scientific terminology by breaking words into their Greek and Latin roots, turning intimidating vocabulary into something logical and predictable. Her English major at Penn also sharpened the close-reading skills that matter when students need to pull key information from dense textbook passages or interpret what a lab procedure is actually asking them to do.

A lot of science anxiety comes from the sheer volume — memorizing cell organelles, balancing equations, interpreting lab data — without a framework for how the pieces fit together. Priya tackles this by teaching students to map relationships between concepts (like how chemical bonding rules explain biological molecule behavior) so that new material slots into what they already know instead of piling on top of it.
