About Colleen

My name is Colleen and I am a graduate of Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. I have a Bachelor's degree in both Biochemistry and Microbiology with a concentration in Molecular Biology. I have a love for all things science and math related. I tutored for three years in college, and a year out of college, in chemistry (biochemistry, organic and general chemistry), biology and math.

In tutoring I believe that comfort is key- when a student can become comfortable working with a subject and asking the right questions then real progress is made and that's the goal we would be working toward. I have a relaxed style of work that centers on finding areas where the student needs help with a concept and most importantly on putting those concepts into practice to boost understanding of, and give relevance to, the subject.

"Great Tutor"

- Lauren A. from San Francisco, CA

Easy going, made scheduling around a busy schedule stress free. Very good at finding ways to help organize information so it was manageable to learn a lot at once. Great at finding ways help it make sense if the book was difficult. She was great, all around.

"Excellent! Knowledgable and Flexible Chemistry tutor"

- Tom G. from Santa Clara, CA

We were very pleased with Colleen's work with our daughter in the area of high school chemistry. Colleen worked with our daughter over the course of 6-8 tutoring sessions throughout the semester. In that time, she not only developed a good working rapport with our student but also was flexible in focusing on the areas of need. For example, initially the biggest challenge our daughter was centered around organization and study preparation. Colleen made that a part of the tutoring in addition to the chemistry topics at hand. This made a big difference and reinforced a lot of what her parents have been trying to teach her. Thank you, Colleen!
