A PhD in physics, combined coursework spanning biology and engineering, and hands-on research experience give Zhengdong unusually broad scientific fluency. Whether a student is puzzling over cell biology, force diagrams, or chemical reactions, he connects each topic back to core scientific reasoning — forming hypotheses, interpreting data, and distinguishing correlation from causation.

Between a psychology major, a neuroscience minor, and a pre-med track at Texas A&M, Paris lives in the sciences daily. She tackles biology and physics by connecting abstract concepts — like action potentials or kinematics — to real systems students can visualize, turning memorization-heavy material into something that actually makes intuitive sense.

A materials engineering major spends every day at the intersection of chemistry, physics, and lab methodology — so Christina knows how scientific concepts connect across disciplines. She explains topics like states of matter, energy transfer, and the scientific method by tying them to real experiments and everyday phenomena students can actually observe.

Tackling science means learning to read graphs, interpret experimental data, and connect observations back to underlying principles — skills Ryan sharpened while earning a 31 ACT that included the data-heavy Science section. He walks students through how to break down lab scenarios and extract the key variables, making both coursework and standardized tests more manageable.

Because mechanical engineering sits at the intersection of physics, chemistry, and applied math, Clara sees science as a connected system rather than isolated facts. She unpacks concepts like energy transfer, forces, and material properties by tying them to real-world examples — how a bridge bears load, or why an engine generates heat.

Lee's broad tutoring range — from calculus and business calculus to economics and AP history — reflects someone comfortable moving between quantitative and analytical thinking, which is exactly what science asks students to do when they shift from memorizing vocabulary to interpreting data or explaining how variables interact. He walks students through the reasoning behind experiments and observations, emphasizing the logic of cause and effect over rote recall. Rated 5.0 by students.

As an MIS major at Texas A&M, Shubhada works at the intersection of technology and systems thinking — skills that translate well when she teaches students to trace cause-and-effect in scientific processes or organize information from complex diagrams. Her broad tutoring range across math, writing, and reading means she can tackle science from multiple angles, whether a student is struggling with the calculations in a chemistry problem or the dense vocabulary in a biology chapter.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.

I am proud to be a part of Varsity Tutors! I am originally from San Antonio, TX; I completed my undergraduate education at Rice University in Houston where I received a bachelor's degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Currently, I am in my second year of medical school at Baylor College of Medicine.
