Hi, I'm Katie! I have a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Michigan State University and I have over two years of experience as both a teaching assistant and tutor in biology, chemistry, and math. I've also worked in several labs and in biomedical research, so I know how to connect classroom learning to real-world applications. I love helping students build confidence, master challenging concepts, and discover that science can be exciting and approachable. My teaching philosophy centers on understanding each student's unique learning style; I tailor my lessons to make complex topics more digestible through analogies and step-by-step problem-solving. I find immense joy in witnessing that "aha" moment when a concept finally clicks for a student. I look forward to helping you reach your academic goals !
