Ricky

Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +24 Subjects

I developed a passion for biology at Gettysburg College while researching cell cycle control and DNA damage repair pathways in the common bread mold Aspergillus nidulans. This experience led me to pursue a PhD in Biomedical Sciences at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. I decided to start tutoring because it is the perfect opportunity for me to share my passion for science and gain valuable teaching experience. The two things that make me a great tutor are my deep understanding of biology and my ability to communicate complex concepts in ways that are easy to understand. My passion for science and education also makes my tutoring sessions a lot of fun for my students.Outside of tutoring I love being active and outside. I am desperately trying to get better at tennis in the summer and racquetball in the winter. You can also see me riding my bike around the city all year round.

I also recently graduated with a Master of Environmental Management degree from the Yale School of the Environment in May 2020. In earning both of my degrees I gained experience with a mix of writing, humanities, and natural science that's given me a wide breadth of skills to share with students.I've also been accepted to the law schools at NYU, Columbia, and the University of Michigan, among others. I am very, very familiar with the process (and pain) of school applications, and always happy to advise on essays and application approaches.I'm trained in both SAT and LSAT prep, with three years' experience working one-on-one with students in a variety of contexts. I'm dedicated to environmental conservation and climate change advocacy-- hiking and canoeing are two of my favorite ways to spend free time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Varsity Tutors connects students from across Newton's 14 schools with personalized tutoring support. Whether your student attends a Newton public school or one of the area's private institutions, we match them with tutors who understand local curriculum standards and can support their specific academic goals.

Massachusetts has rigorous academic standards, and Newton's strong school district works to prepare students for success on state assessments and beyond. Personalized tutoring helps students master core concepts at their own pace, build confidence in challenging subjects, and develop the critical thinking skills emphasized in Massachusetts curriculum frameworks—all while complementing what they're learning in the classroom.

Newton students most commonly seek support in math (especially algebra, geometry, and pre-calculus), English/language arts, and sciences like chemistry and biology. We also work with students preparing for standardized tests like the SAT and ACT, as well as those pursuing AP coursework. Whatever subject your student needs help with, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a qualified tutor.

Your first session is an opportunity for the tutor and student to get to know each other and establish learning goals. The tutor will assess your student's current understanding, identify areas where they need the most support, and create a personalized plan moving forward. This foundation ensures that every subsequent session is focused and productive.

While Newton maintains a strong 10.3:1 student-teacher ratio compared to national averages, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring offers something unique: instruction tailored entirely to your student's learning style, pace, and goals. A tutor can spend full attention on your student's specific challenges, adjust explanations in real-time, and provide immediate feedback—something that's difficult to replicate in even well-resourced classroom settings.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor expertise, and frequency of sessions. We work with families to create flexible arrangements that fit their budget and schedule—whether that's weekly sessions during the school year, intensive support before exams, or ongoing help with a challenging subject. Contact Varsity Tutors to discuss pricing options and get matched with a tutor.

Varsity Tutors connects students with tutors who have strong subject expertise and teaching experience. Many are certified teachers, subject matter experts, or experienced educators. All tutors are carefully selected to ensure they can deliver high-quality, personalized instruction that helps Newton students succeed.

Getting started is simple: contact Varsity Tutors and tell us about your student's needs, goals, and schedule. We'll match them with a tutor who's a great fit, and you can begin personalized instruction right away. Most families see their student gain confidence and momentum within the first few sessions.
