Award-Winning Science Tutors
serving Knoxville, TN

I am an Applied Physics Major with an Emphasis in Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University. I love to share the joy I have in the sciences and math to show truly the applications are so far-reaching.

Aerospace engineering at the University of Tennessee means Aubrey doesn't just study science — she applies physics, chemistry, and data analysis to solve real design problems every week. That background makes her especially effective at teaching scientific reasoning skills like interpreting graphs, designing controlled experiments, and connecting formulas to physical intuition. She approaches each topic by grounding abstract ideas in tangible examples students can actually picture.

Engineering at Yale means Charles lives at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and applied math every day — analyzing forces in a truss, modeling heat transfer, or interpreting experimental data. He brings that hands-on perspective to general science tutoring, connecting abstract formulas to physical situations students can actually picture. Whether the topic is kinematics, energy conservation, or interpreting lab results, he makes the reasoning behind each step visible.

Comparative literature might seem worlds away from science, but Brittney's Princeton training in close reading and textual analysis translates surprisingly well to parsing dense lab instructions, extracting meaning from data tables, and interpreting the kind of evidence-based passages that show up across science coursework. She's strongest with students who can grasp the concepts but struggle to articulate their reasoning in writing — lab reports, short-answer explanations, and constructing arguments from observations. Rated 5.0 by students.

Few tutors can move as fluidly between physics, chemistry, and biology as Dennis can. His Vanderbilt masters in Chemical and Physical Biology sat at the intersection of all three, so when a student asks why molecules behave a certain way or how energy transfers through a system, he connects the answer across disciplines instead of treating each science as its own silo.

Kerr's computer science coursework at Vanderbilt — debugging code, testing hypotheses about why programs fail, and interpreting output data — mirrors the same systematic thinking that science demands: isolate variables, predict outcomes, and figure out what went wrong when results don't match expectations. His 36 ACT confirms he can handle the data interpretation and passage-based reasoning that show up across science disciplines, and his 4.9 rating suggests he makes those connections stick.

Sociology and anthropology coursework means Lisa spent her undergraduate years doing exactly what science asks students to do — observing systematically, collecting evidence, and drawing conclusions that hold up to scrutiny. She's particularly strong at walking students through how to design a fair experiment and interpret results, since her social science training required distinguishing real patterns from coincidence in messy, real-world data.

Neuroscience at Vanderbilt means Eileen lives in the overlap of biology, chemistry, and data analysis every day. She unpacks scientific concepts — cellular respiration, ecological relationships, experimental design — by connecting them to real research examples, which makes abstract processes far easier to remember than rote definitions alone.

From atomic structure to thermodynamics to biological chemistry, Jeremy has taught the full sweep of introductory science at the college level — including courses designed specifically for students encountering science for the first time. He approaches each topic as a set of skills to build through practice, walking students through problems until the reasoning becomes second nature.

Alexander's history training at Vanderbilt — building arguments from primary sources, evaluating conflicting evidence, weighing cause and effect — maps onto science more than most students expect, particularly when it comes to interpreting data and explaining why results support or undermine a hypothesis. His 32 ACT confirms he can handle the quantitative and analytical demands of science material, and his strength in reading-heavy subjects means he's especially useful when students struggle to extract meaning from dense textbook passages or diagram-laden lab instructions.

A pre-law political science major might not scream "science tutor," but Kit's 1540 SAT required sharp data interpretation and evidence-based reasoning — reading graphs, evaluating experimental setups, and distinguishing supported conclusions from unsupported ones. He brings that same analytical rigor to science material, teaching students to treat every hypothesis like a claim that needs evidence and every lab report like an argument that needs structure.

Heather's coursework at Vanderbilt included quantitative methods and cell biology, giving her a grounding in both the data-analysis and life-science sides of general science. She teaches students to read graphs, design simple experiments, and connect scientific vocabulary to the concepts behind it — skills that transfer across biology, chemistry, and earth science units.

Double-majoring in math and computer science at Vanderbilt's School of Engineering means Nat lives inside the quantitative side of science — unit conversions, graphing relationships, and working through formulas are daily habits, not occasional hurdles. He also spent a summer teaching middle schoolers through Higher Achievement in D.C., so he knows how to slow down and rebuild a concept from scratch when a student's eyes start to glaze over. His 35 ACT confirms he can handle the full range of science material, from data interpretation to experimental design.

Engineering students see science differently — every physics equation or chemistry concept is a tool they'll eventually use to build something real. Rhamy brings that applied perspective from his Vanderbilt computer engineering program, especially for topics like circuits, wave behavior, and mechanics where intuition matters as much as formulas. He scored a 1570 SAT, so the quantitative rigor behind the science comes naturally.

Chemical engineering sits at the intersection of chemistry, physics, and applied math, so Kelly brings an unusually integrated perspective to general science tutoring. She unpacks concepts like stoichiometry, energy transfer, and the scientific method by connecting them to tangible examples — how a chemical plant balances reactions at scale, or why unit conversions matter when real materials are on the line.

I am a freshman at Vanderbilt University studying biochemistry and involved in analytical chemistry research. Despite my studies being very science oriented, I also enjoy studying English and the humanities. I'd be happy to tutor you in any of these areas!

I'm a 24 year old student of life that graduated from Vanderbilt University in 2014. My first experience with tutoring came 5 years ago when I opened a branch of ACT prep tutoring for Revolution Prep. At that time, I taught small classes of 5-9 students and also worked as a private tutor. I absolutely love to learn and am fulfilled by guiding students to reach their maximum potential.

Teaching science at the elementary and middle school level is really about sparking curiosity — getting students to ask questions about how things work and then guiding them toward answers. Christina's childhood education training at NYU covered science instruction across grades 1–6, and her knack for making lessons interactive keeps younger learners engaged through hands-on exploration and clear explanations.

A computer science degree from Duke means Michelle spent four years immersed in the empirical side of problem-solving — designing experiments, analyzing datasets, and building models that either work or don't. She brings that same rigor to science tutoring, particularly when students need to interpret graphs, control variables, or connect quantitative evidence to a conclusion. Her 5.0 rating and 36 ACT suggest the approach lands.

Early science classes ask students to do something surprisingly difficult: read a passage about photosynthesis or the water cycle and extract the key relationships between concepts. Mary's research background in cognition and language at Vanderbilt makes her especially effective at teaching students how to break down scientific texts, interpret diagrams, and connect new vocabulary to ideas they already understand.

Engineering coursework at Vanderbilt puts Daniel at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and applied math every week. He tackles science topics by connecting formulas to real phenomena — explaining why a circuit behaves a certain way or how energy conservation actually plays out in a lab setting.

Monika's math-heavy background makes her especially effective for the quantitative side of science — unit conversions, interpreting graphs, setting up equations from word problems, and reasoning through experimental data. She connects scientific concepts to their underlying mathematical structure, which makes formulas feel logical instead of arbitrary.

A biology degree, physics tutoring experience, and a public health focus give Jakobi a broad scientific toolkit that spans molecular-level processes to ecosystem dynamics. He connects concepts across disciplines — showing, for example, how energy conservation in physics parallels metabolic energy flow in biology — so students see science as interconnected rather than siloed.

As a chemistry major on a pharmacy track, Elsa lives in the natural sciences daily — from atomic structure and chemical reactions to biological systems and lab technique. She unpacks scientific concepts by tying them to real-world examples, which makes abstract ideas like energy transfer or cellular processes far easier to retain.

Ruiy's cognitive science curriculum at Vanderbilt spans neuroscience, biology, and research methods, giving her a solid grounding in core scientific concepts. She tackles science by teaching students to read experiments the way scientists do — identifying variables, interpreting data tables, and distinguishing correlation from causation.

Mechanical engineering at Vanderbilt means Megan applies physics and chemistry daily — from thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to materials science and energy systems. She breaks down scientific concepts using real engineering problems, which makes abstract ideas like force diagrams or heat transfer click faster than textbook examples alone.

Training to teach middle and high school social studies means Karen spends a lot of time with primary sources, data tables, and evidence-based argumentation — skills that carry over naturally when students need to interpret scientific diagrams, design fair experiments, or explain what their results actually show. Her 1570 SAT confirms she handles quantitative and analytical reasoning at a high level, and her 5.0 rating suggests she makes those connections click for the students she works with.

Studying cognitive science requires a solid grounding in research methods, data interpretation, and the biological mechanisms behind human behavior — all of which overlap with core science topics. Leanna connects scientific concepts like the scientific method, basic biology, and experimental design to real-world examples that make the material click.

Currently pursuing a PhD in Biomedical Sciences at Vanderbilt, Caroline lives inside scientific thinking every day — designing experiments, interpreting data, and connecting molecular mechanisms to larger biological questions. She brings that real research perspective to topics like cell biology, genetics, and the scientific method, making abstract concepts tangible.

I'm pursuing a double major in Mathematics and English at Vanderbilt University. I have been tutoring math since High School and have native proficiency in Mandarin Chinese. I am dedicated to helping students explore the study methods that will fit their individual needs.

Two doctoral degrees in scientific disciplines mean Danzo doesn't just know science content — he understands how scientific thinking works, from forming hypotheses to interpreting experimental results. He's equally comfortable explaining DNA replication at the molecular level or walking through the basics of energy and matter for a younger student. Whatever the topic, he emphasizes understanding the 'why' behind each concept so students can reason through unfamiliar problems on their own.

Miah's ACT Science section — part of her 34 composite — tested exactly the skills she now teaches: pulling patterns from data tables, evaluating competing hypotheses, and figuring out what a graph is actually saying versus what it looks like at first glance. As a political science student at Vanderbilt, she spends her coursework doing the same thing with polling data and policy research, so translating between evidence and conclusions is something she practices daily.

A PhD in economics means Zeeshan spends his days building models, testing hypotheses against real-world data, and defending conclusions under rigorous peer review — the same scientific thinking students need when designing experiments, interpreting results, and explaining what the evidence actually supports. His quantitative training at Vanderbilt, especially in statistical methods and causal inference, makes him particularly useful for the data-heavy side of science: reading graphs, understanding controls, and figuring out whether results are meaningful or just noise.

Three science degrees and a master's in science education give Katie an unusually deep bench to draw from — whether a student needs to understand cellular respiration, energy flow in ecosystems, or how to design a controlled experiment. She ties every concept back to observable, real-world phenomena so the material sticks long after the test.

Between tutoring organic chemistry, prepping students for SAT Subject Tests in biology and chemistry, and taking rigorous STEM coursework at Vanderbilt, Jacob covers a wide swath of science topics. He approaches each concept by tying it to something concrete — reaction mechanisms become stories with causes and consequences, and physics problems become puzzles with a clear logical sequence.

Elena's approach to science leans on her Child Development training — she knows that younger students grasp scientific concepts best through observation, prediction, and hands-on reasoning rather than abstract definitions. She walks through topics like the water cycle, ecosystems, or basic forces by connecting each idea to something tangible the student has already experienced.

Patrick approaches science the way he approaches historical research: by teaching students to read data carefully, form hypotheses, and evaluate evidence before jumping to conclusions. His background at the Educational Testing Service gave him deep familiarity with how standardized science questions are constructed, which sharpens his ability to break down graphs, experiments, and analytical reasoning for students.

Growing up tutoring students from kindergarten through eleventh grade meant Jamie learned to explain the same concept — say, how plants convert sunlight into energy or why ice floats — at wildly different levels of detail, which is one of the hardest things about science teaching. Her Human Development studies at Vanderbilt also covered research design and evidence-based reasoning, giving her a real framework for walking students through hypothesis formation and experimental logic rather than just drilling vocabulary.

A biology degree gives Marjorie a home base in the life sciences, but her teaching covers the broader scientific toolkit: interpreting data tables, designing controlled experiments, and connecting observations to underlying mechanisms. She's especially effective at showing students how to read a graph and extract a claim from it — a skill that crosses every science class.

A creative writing major might not scream 'science tutor,' but Kaitlyn's psychology coursework at Vanderbilt — covering research methods, experimental design, and statistical reasoning — means she's spent real time working with the scientific method from the inside. She's especially strong at teaching students how to read data displays and write clear, precise explanations of what an experiment actually showed, since translating complex ideas into accessible language is what writers do best.
