Experienced High School and College STEM Tutor

Rita A.

Hello, I’m Rita! Anyone can understand math and science, but they need someone to meet them where they are at with the material. I work with my students to connect new material to what they already know. I create a supportive space for a student to actively engage with the material and ask questions. Getting it wrong is part of the learning process, and my job as a tutor is to guide the student towards understanding. As a tutor, I do not create wholesale lessons to teach the student new material from scratch, but I am happy to re-teach material a student didn’t understand the first time.

I have a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry with a minor in Biology, and a Master’s in Chemistry. I have six years of experience tutoring middle and high school math and science, and eight years of experience tutoring and teaching college math, biology, and chemistry.

For high school students, I tutor the following math subjects: Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Statistics, Calculus, AP Calculus AB and BC. I also tutor the following science subjects, both general and AP versions: Environmental Science, Chemistry, and Biology.

For college students, I tutor Calculus I, General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Cell Biology, Neuroscience, and Introductory Psychology.

I am happy to tutor in person at a local library or other public location, as well as online. If you need to cancel, I require at least four hours’ notice. I offer a free 10-minute consultation to align our goals for tutoring. Please reach out with any additional questions or to schedule a session!
