Award-Winning Biology Tutors
serving Spokane, WA

As a biology major in Union College's eight-year Leadership in Medicine program with Albany Medical College, Alice lives this subject daily — from cellular respiration pathways to genetics and ecology. She connects textbook concepts to the clinical and research contexts she's actively studying, which makes topics like DNA replication or enzyme kinetics feel purposeful instead of arbitrary.

Between her biomedical engineering major at Johns Hopkins and her research position at Oregon Health & Science University, Helen lives inside biology every day — not as a textbook subject but as a working science. She's especially strong on cell biology, genetics, and human physiology, and she teaches those topics by linking molecular details to big-picture function. Students come away understanding how DNA replication connects to inheritance, or why mitochondrial dysfunction actually matters in disease.

Cory's physics degree means he naturally approaches biology through the lens of energy, forces, and systems — which turns out to be exactly the right framework for topics like cellular respiration, osmosis, and ecological energy flow that trip up students who try to memorize without understanding the underlying logic. He uses that quantitative instinct to make processes like diffusion or ATP synthesis feel like straightforward physics problems with biological vocabulary layered on top. Rated 4.9 by students.

A biochemistry major who genuinely lights up talking about living systems, Madyson covers everything from genetics and ecology to evolution and physiology. She ties biological concepts back to their chemical underpinnings, which gives students a deeper understanding of why processes like photosynthesis and DNA replication work the way they do.

Helping students in their education is my passion. I understand how frustrating it is to keep trying on understanding a concept or master a skill without getting a satisfying result. I aim to help students enjoy learning and acquiring knowledge. Always remember that knowledge is power, and nobody can take it from you. I have sufficient tutoring and teaching experience in secondary and post-secondary settings. I worked as a tutor at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I tutored college students different courses in mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, and psychology. Also, l worked as a graduate teaching assistant at Marquette University. I taught the laboratory part of general chemistry, analytical chemistry, and organic chemistry. Furthermore, l worked as a science teacher at different secondary schools. I taught science for grades 4,5,6, and 8. Also, l taught chemistry for grade 9. When it comes to my education, l have a bachelor degree in biology healthcare science and chemistry biomolecular science (double major). In addition, l have a master's degree in chemistry. I received my undergraduate education at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and my graduate education at Marquette University. I tutor for numerous subjects such as algebra, trigonometry, calculus, physics, organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, human anatomy, developmental biology, ecology, and biochemistry. Also, l tutor for the GRE, DAT, TOEFL, and IELTS. My favorite subjects are the math, physics, biology, and chemistry subjects because l, simply, enjoy these fields. My teaching philosophy and tutoring style are based on practicing with various examples. When you are confronted with numerous problems to solve, you become more confident in that subject area. As a result, better performance in quizzes and exams. Outside of academia, learning about other cultures and countries around the world is my interest.

Hello:)) My name is Lindsey! I recently graduated college with a Bachelor's degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from the University of Washington. I have over 2 years of tutoring and classroom experience specializing in subjects such as AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and various levels of math and science. The most important thing to me is my students feel comfortable to ask questions and explore concepts at their own pace. I believe that every student has unique strengths and learning styles, and it's my goal to understand them and to inspire their curiosity and confidence in these subjects. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading about scientific advancements and watching movies and eating. I'm excited to meet you all!!

Genetics and microbiology are where Mays's biology degree from the University of Washington comes most alive — she studied both in depth and keeps returning to them as the threads that tie introductory concepts like cell structure and heredity to more advanced territory like gene expression and microbial ecology. She teaches by anchoring abstract processes in concrete, real-world examples, so a topic like natural selection or protein function becomes something students can picture and reason through, not just memorize.

Rather than treating biology as a subject to memorize, Ivan approaches it as a set of nested systems — from gene expression inside a single cell up to organ-level physiology. His science training across multiple disciplines gives him a knack for explaining how concepts like cellular respiration, DNA replication, and signal transduction actually link together rather than sitting in isolated textbook chapters.

First-year medical school at Thomas Jefferson means Nishad is actively building on the biology he mastered as a pre-med — genetics, cell biology, microbiology, anatomy — and seeing how each topic feeds directly into clinical problem-solving. That recent, layered exposure makes him especially effective at teaching the introductory and intermediate concepts that trip students up, because he remembers exactly which details mattered most when the material got harder.

Sugi's dual undergraduate degrees in Cognitive Science and Biochemistry & Cell Biology at Rice mean she studied living systems from two directions at once — the molecular machinery inside cells and the neural architecture that emerges from it. Now a fourth-year medical student at Baylor, she teaches biology by linking foundational topics like signal transduction or gene expression to the cognitive and clinical contexts that make them stick. Rated 5.0 by students.

Sharan's Human Biology major at Cornell means she doesn't just study biological systems in the abstract — she's tracing them through the lens of human health, which gives her a practical hook for teaching topics like cellular respiration, gene expression, and organ-system integration. Her premed coursework layers chemistry and statistics on top of the core biology, so she can explain something like enzyme regulation by pulling in the quantitative and chemical reasoning that makes the mechanism actually stick. Rated 5.0 by students.

Brittany's pre-health track at the University of Pennsylvania meant her psychology degree came loaded with rigorous biology coursework — the kind where understanding how cellular processes connect to physiological systems isn't optional. She spent her undergraduate years tutoring peers and volunteering at a West Philly middle school, which gave her practice translating topics like heredity, ecology, and organ-system function for students at very different levels of readiness.

From cell respiration pathways to genetics crosses, biology rewards students who can organize large amounts of interconnected information rather than memorize isolated facts. Asta's University of Chicago training in research and analytical writing translates directly to how she teaches students to map relationships between biological systems — linking, say, DNA replication to protein synthesis to gene expression in a coherent chain.

Tony earned his biology degree at Yale and is headed to Columbia's medical school, so he's spent years immersed in everything from molecular genetics to ecological systems. He breaks down dense material — signal transduction pathways, Mendelian inheritance, cellular respiration — by linking each concept to a bigger biological story rather than treating them as isolated facts.

Paula's psychology background gives her a useful entry point into biology — she understands behavioral and cognitive systems well enough to trace them back to their biological roots, from neurotransmitter activity to hormonal feedback loops. That perspective makes her especially effective at teaching the life science topics where behavior meets physiology, like the nervous system, endocrine signaling, and basic genetics. Rated 4.8 by students.

Jake's Human Biology concentration at Stanford — with its focus on health policy — means he studies biological systems through the lens of real-world outcomes, which gives his teaching a practical edge when covering topics like genetics, immunology, or human physiology. He breaks down dense material by connecting it to the health scenarios that make it relevant, and his 5.0 client rating speaks to how well that approach lands.

Dennis's Masters in Chemical and Physical Biology from Vanderbilt means he's spent years studying life at the molecular level — protein interactions, metabolic regulation, signal transduction — and can zoom out to show how those mechanisms drive the organ-system and ecological concepts that fill most introductory biology courses. His graduate research experience also makes him especially effective at teaching experimental design and data analysis, the parts of biology that trip students up precisely because they can't be memorized. Rated 5.0 by students.

UCLA's Physiological Sciences program forced Annie to learn biology backward from how most students first encounter it — starting with how organ systems fail in disease, then drilling down into the cellular and molecular mechanisms that explain why. That perspective, now deepened by medical school, makes her especially effective at teaching topics like homeostasis, cell signaling, and metabolic regulation as cause-and-effect chains rather than disconnected vocabulary lists. Rated 5.0 by students.

Stanford's biology program has Helen tackling everything from molecular genetics to ecology in real time, which means she's teaching the same material she's actively being tested on — a perspective that keeps her explanations current and exam-aware. She's particularly strong at breaking down processes like photosynthesis and gene expression into logical sequences that stick, drawing on four years of peer tutoring and TA experience in STEM courses. Rated 5.0 by students.
