Having studied biology and chemistry alongside her political science degree at the University of Chicago, Asta can walk students through core science concepts — from cell structure to chemical reactions — with genuine content knowledge rather than just test-taking tricks. Her 35 ACT confirms she handled the Science section's rapid-fire data interpretation at a near-perfect level, and she brings that same ability to teach students how to read graphs, pull patterns from tables, and connect evidence to conclusions. Rated 5.0 by students.

As a medical student at Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine, Anna lives inside scientific reasoning every day — forming hypotheses, interpreting data, and connecting biological systems to real outcomes. She brings that same structured thinking to general science topics like the scientific method, ecosystems, and basic chemistry, making each concept feel purposeful rather than random.

A philosophy degree from Princeton means Jeff spent years doing exactly what science coursework asks of students — constructing logical arguments, identifying flaws in reasoning, and evaluating whether evidence actually supports a claim. He teaches the scientific method as a form of structured argumentation: hypothesis as thesis, experiment as proof, conclusion as defense. His 1550 SAT confirms he handles the quantitative and data-interpretation side with equal precision.

Law school at the University of Chicago drills a specific kind of reasoning — isolating what the evidence actually proves versus what you assume it proves — and Elena applies that same discipline when walking students through scientific concepts like experimental design, variable control, and data interpretation. Her government and Spanish double major means she's used to synthesizing dense, unfamiliar material quickly, which is exactly the skill students need when a science unit throws new terminology and complex diagrams at them simultaneously.

Legal training is essentially argument construction from evidence — and Emily applies that same framework when teaching students to work through hypotheses, evaluate experimental outcomes, and explain what data actually supports versus what it doesn't. Her philosophy degree from Northwestern also built the formal logic skills that underpin scientific reasoning, from identifying control variables to spotting flawed conclusions in a lab report.

Viktor's math degree and current computer science work at NYU give him a quantitative backbone that translates well to science subjects — especially the physics, chemistry, and data-interpretation problems where students struggle more with the math than the science itself. He's strongest at untangling unit conversions, graph analysis, and formula application in scientific contexts.

Alex's English and political science training built the exact skill set that trips most students up in science classes — reading dense nonfiction carefully, pulling key information from complex passages, and constructing written explanations that actually answer the question. He's particularly useful for students who understand the concepts but lose points on lab write-ups, short-answer responses, and any assignment where 'explain your reasoning' appears in the directions.

An economics major might seem like an unusual fit for science, but Ellie's quantitative background means she's comfortable with the data interpretation, graphing, and hypothesis-testing skills that run through every science class. She's especially effective at teaching students how to read charts, set up experiments logically, and connect observations back to underlying principles.

Between his 35 ACT and a University of Chicago economics curriculum heavy on statistical modeling and quantitative analysis, Benjamin has the analytical toolkit to tackle science topics that lean on math — interpreting graphs, calculating rates, and connecting variables in experimental setups. He's especially good at walking students through the logic of why an experiment is designed a certain way, not just what the textbook says the answer is. Rated 4.8 by students.

A psychology degree from Duke means Pinelopi spent semesters designing experiments, controlling for confounding variables, and interpreting statistical results — all core scientific skills that most students struggle to apply on their own. She's especially strong at walking through how to set up a fair test and explain what the data actually supports, since that's exactly what her research methods coursework demanded. Holds a 5.0 rating.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Chicago with a BA in English and a MA in the Humanities. My specialties are tutoring in test prep, writing, and reading. I am more than happy to spend time on my students outside of our organized sessions to ensure everyone meets their goals. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Looking forward to our tutoring sessions!

Years of teaching second, third, and fourth graders gave Molly a clear picture of where young students get stuck in science — reading a thermometer, designing a fair test, or explaining why a prediction was wrong. Her classroom experience with reading intervention also pays off here, since so much of elementary science depends on comprehending nonfiction text and pulling meaning from diagrams. Rated 5.0 by students.

While science isn't Ethan's college major, his background includes AP Biology and a broad foundation in life and physical sciences from the Horace Mann School. He's especially comfortable with younger students tackling topics like ecosystems, the scientific method, basic chemistry of matter, and cell biology. His approach emphasizes understanding how to read diagrams, interpret data, and explain findings in clear language.

Mahalia's Latin training — she tutors all four levels — means scientific vocabulary rarely intimidates her students, since she can trace terms like "photosynthesis" or "mitochondria" back to their Greek and Latin roots on the spot. That language-first approach pairs well with her 35 ACT, which required sharp data interpretation and evidence-based reasoning across the science section. Rated 5.0 by students.

Charlie's University of Chicago education demanded rigorous analytical thinking across disciplines, and his 35 ACT — which includes a dedicated Science section built around data interpretation and experimental reasoning — confirms he can parse graphs, evaluate competing hypotheses, and draw conclusions from unfamiliar passages under pressure. He teaches students to treat science questions as logic puzzles: strip out the jargon, identify what the data actually says, and eliminate answers that go beyond the evidence.

Jack's triple major at Northwestern — spanning theatre, marketing, and Spanish — meant constantly switching between analytical frameworks, which is exactly what science asks students to do when they move from classifying organisms to balancing equations to interpreting a velocity graph. He leans on that cross-disciplinary flexibility to teach students how to pull patterns from unfamiliar material and explain their reasoning clearly, rather than defaulting to rote memorization.

Brett's ACT Science section required exactly the kind of rapid graph reading and data extraction that general science courses test constantly — pulling trends from tables, identifying control variables, and evaluating whether conclusions actually match the evidence. His 34 composite and communication degree make him especially effective at teaching students not just to interpret scientific data but to explain their reasoning clearly in lab write-ups and short-answer responses.

Gabriel's PhD in Comparative Human Development at the University of Chicago involves rigorous statistical and analytical methods, which translates directly into how he approaches science tutoring — interpreting data, understanding experimental design, and connecting results back to underlying concepts. He's especially effective at teaching students to read graphs and tables carefully and articulate what the evidence actually shows.

Brian earned his biology degree and is now completing medical school, so he's spent years immersed in chemistry, physics, anatomy, and molecular biology. He explains scientific concepts — from cell structure to chemical reactions to forces — by grounding them in real examples rather than abstract definitions. That depth makes him especially effective for students who need to build both vocabulary and intuition in the sciences.

Jacob's 35 ACT — including the Science section, which is really a test of data interpretation and passage-based reasoning — means he knows how to extract answers from graphs, tables, and experimental descriptions under time pressure. His literature background actually reinforces this: close reading is close reading, whether the passage describes a character's motivation or a controlled experiment's results. He teaches students to slow down, identify what the question is actually asking, and find the evidence before jumping to an answer.

An architecture degree demands fluency in physics, materials science, and environmental systems — Grace spent years calculating structural loads, analyzing thermal properties, and applying scientific principles to real design problems. That hands-on technical background means she can teach concepts like force, energy, and properties of matter through concrete examples students can visualize, not just definitions to memorize. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Zac's Human and Organizational Development major at Vanderbilt involves more empirical research than people expect — collecting survey data, running statistical analyses, and designing studies that isolate which interventions actually work in real communities. That training gives him a practical grip on the scientific method, from controlling variables to interpreting results, which he brings to science sessions where students need to move past memorization and actually explain how evidence supports a conclusion. His 4.9 rating suggests the approach lands.

Public policy analysis at Northwestern meant Nathaniel spent years doing exactly what science asks students to do — reading studies, questioning methodology, and deciding whether data actually supports a conclusion. His 34 ACT confirms he can handle the quantitative side, but his real strength is teaching students to explain their reasoning clearly, especially when writing up lab results or defending an experimental claim in their own words.

Teaching middle school math in Chicago Public Schools means Elizabeth spends every day translating abstract concepts into concrete understanding — and that same instinct carries over when she tutors science, especially the measurement, graphing, and data-heavy portions where students' math anxiety quietly sabotages their progress. Her physics teaching background adds real depth on the physical science side, where she can walk through force diagrams or energy calculations without skipping the reasoning behind each step. Rated 5.0 by students.

Karishma's background in psychology — including coursework in research methods, data interpretation, and behavioral science — gives her a concrete entry point into science tutoring that goes beyond memorizing vocabulary lists. She teaches students to think through the scientific method the way a psych researcher would: identify variables, predict outcomes, and explain what the data actually shows. Rated 5.0 by students.

Stage managing a theater production means tracking dozens of moving parts simultaneously — lighting cues, scene changes, actor positions — and synthesizing them into a coherent system, which is remarkably close to what science asks students to do when tracing how multiple variables interact in an experiment or ecosystem. Ariela uses that same organizational instinct to teach students how to sort through competing pieces of information, identify what matters, and communicate their reasoning clearly. Her 1590 SAT confirms she can handle the analytical and evidence-based reading that science coursework demands.

Studying the biological basis of behavior in college meant Ruthie lived at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and research methods — exactly the mix that general science courses demand. She's comfortable walking through everything from cell structure and genetics to experimental design and data interpretation. That cross-disciplinary training makes her especially useful when students need to connect ideas across units rather than treat each chapter as its own silo.

Having earned a PhD in physics and taught science at both the high school and college level, Jonathan understands the subject from the molecular scale to the cosmic. He unpacks scientific reasoning — forming hypotheses, interpreting data, connecting theory to experiment — in ways that make the process intuitive rather than formulaic.

A statistics major at the University of Chicago, Dylan brings real fluency with data — reading graphs, calculating rates of change, identifying outliers — to the parts of science where students most often stumble. He teaches the quantitative backbone of science (measurement, unit analysis, experimental design) as a natural extension of statistical thinking, so students learn to trust the numbers instead of fearing them.

A biological sciences degree with a neuroscience specialization gives Jhonatan deep fluency across biology, chemistry, and the physical principles that connect them. He teaches students to think like scientists — forming hypotheses, interpreting data, and linking molecular-level details to big-picture processes like cellular respiration or neural signaling. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach clicks.

Camilla approaches science the way she approaches legal analysis: by teaching students to read carefully, identify key variables, and build conclusions from evidence. Her summa cum laude undergraduate work at Washington University in St. Louis gave her a strong academic foundation, and she's particularly effective at breaking down scientific vocabulary and helping students interpret graphs and data tables.

Electrophysiology research at NYU's Center for Neural Science gives Gabriel a working scientist's perspective on biology, experimental design, and data analysis. He's especially strong on the life sciences side — cell biology, genetics, and the statistical reasoning that underpins lab work — and he teaches concepts by connecting them to the real experiments where they matter.

Zo currently works as an Americorps VISTA for an environmental science education nonprofit, so she's constantly translating scientific concepts — ecosystems, energy transfer, experimental design — into language that sticks. That day-job practice carries directly into her tutoring, where she connects textbook topics to tangible examples students can observe in the world around them.

A genetics and genomics concentration at Northwestern gave Amber the kind of deep scientific literacy that makes explaining the scientific method, cell biology, or ecosystem dynamics intuitive rather than scripted. She's trained to teach high school biology in Chicago and brings that same clarity to chemistry and physics concepts when students need cross-subject support. Her 32 ACT composite speaks to the breadth of her own science preparation.

Biomedical engineering sits at the intersection of biology, chemistry, and physics, so Sparsh doesn't teach science topics in isolation — he connects them. Whether a student is struggling with cell biology, Newton's laws, or chemical equilibrium, he ties abstract concepts to tangible examples drawn from four years of STEM teaching experience.

I am a graduate of Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with Distinction in 2015. Since graduation, I was a physics/chemistry teacher and soccer coach at a private school in Virginia for a year, where I led the soccer team to an undefeated season. Before teaching and coaching professionally, I was a Teaching Assistant for the Cornell Math and Physics Departments, where I taught many subjects including calculus, mechanics, electromagnetism. Throughout my time at Cornell and as a teacher, I tutored subjects ranging from the SAT to AP Physics and Algebra II, which is where my true talents lie: in small group or one-on-one settings where I can give students the full attention they deserve and tailor my approach specifically to their learning styles. This is why I am now pursuing tutoring as a part-time occupation at Varsity Tutors. I embrace teaching all math and science subjects, especially physics and calculus, at both the college and high school level and will go above and beyond to make sure all of my students succeed, according to their definition of success. In my spare time, I enjoy playing league soccer, basketball, tennis and guitar, and also like to travel and see as much of the world as I can.

Public policy analysis at UChicago means Allison spends her coursework dissecting research studies, questioning whether data actually supports a conclusion, and picking apart the methodology behind policy recommendations — all of which is applied scientific reasoning. She brings that same critical lens to teaching students how to read graphs, evaluate experimental evidence, and explain results in plain language rather than parroting textbook definitions.

An international relations major learns to synthesize information from wildly different sources — economic data, demographic trends, policy reports — and build coherent arguments from messy evidence, which is exactly what science asks students to do when interpreting experiments or connecting observations to broader principles. Hanlu applies that same cross-disciplinary thinking to teaching concepts like the scientific method, classification systems, and cause-and-effect relationships. Her 34 ACT confirms she handles the quantitative and analytical demands of science material with ease.

I am a student at the University of Chicago majoring in mathematics & comparative human development. I sing in an acapella group, play violin, and on weekends I love to go for bike rides or long runs, see local theater and music performances, and explore the city of Chicago. Through my studies and bike rides and runs, I enjoy working hard and building personalized, step-by-step plans for pursuing the goals I set. Nonetheless, I also believe in the importance of having fun and finding enjoyment in my day-to-day life, which I do through music and geographic exploration. I believe that this enthusiasm, curiosity, and steady work ethic are the keys to achieving goals once thought impossible, and I hope to inspire such a mindset in the people with whom I work.

An economics degree from Northwestern means Jack spent serious time with regression analysis, controlled experiments, and interpreting data sets — skills that translate directly to teaching students how to read graphs, identify variables, and reason through the scientific method. His 35 ACT confirms he can handle the quantitative and reading-comprehension demands science throws at students, and his 5.0 rating suggests he makes the material stick.
