Helen
Certified Biology Tutor
Helen
BA Johns Hopkins University
8+ Years Tutoring

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.

Alice
BA Union College
4+ Years Tutoring

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.

Cory
BA University of Washington
5+ Years Tutoring

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.

Sara
MS Marquette University
2+ Years Tutoring

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.

Row-Ling
BA University of Washington
1+ Years Tutoring

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!!

Mays
BA University of Washington
2+ Years Tutoring

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.

Zosia
BA Yale University
4+ Years Tutoring

Zosia's chemistry degree from Yale means she learned biology through its molecular underpinnings — organic reaction mechanisms, chemical equilibria, thermodynamics — which gives her a distinctive angle on topics like enzyme function, metabolic regulation, and signal transduction that pure biology majors sometimes treat as black boxes. Her additional coursework spanning cell biology, molecular biology, evolutionary biology, and plant biology rounds out that chemical lens with the ecological and organismal perspective students need for a complete picture. Rated 4.9 by students.

Ayako
BA Trinity College Dublin
6+ Years Tutoring

An English major might seem like an unusual fit for biology, but Ayako's well-rounded academic profile — including SAT Subject Test prep in Biology E/M — means she's comfortable breaking down topics like ecology, evolution, and cellular processes for high school students who need concepts explained clearly rather than clinically. Her 5.0 rating speaks to a teaching style that translates dense scientific vocabulary into language that actually sticks.

Jonathan
BA Cornell University • Current Grad Student, Human Development Cornell University
10+ Years Tutoring

A human biology degree from Cornell means Jonathan didn't just study biology — he lived in it, from cellular respiration and DNA replication to organ system physiology and evolutionary theory. He teaches by connecting molecular-level details to big-picture biological questions, which is exactly the skill that separates students who understand biology from those who merely memorize it. Currently pursuing graduate work in human development, he keeps that knowledge sharp and current.

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.

Phillip
BA Brown University
6+ Years Tutoring

Phillip's biomedical engineering studies at Brown mean he encounters biology through the lens of design — how tissues are engineered, how physiological systems can be modeled, how feedback loops in the body mirror control systems in machines. That perspective makes him especially effective at teaching topics like homeostasis, organ system integration, and cell membrane transport, where engineering intuition clarifies what pure memorization can't. Rated 5.0 by students.
