With a strong foundation in biology and education, I bring experience and passion to my role as a tutor. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Biology, complemented by undergraduate research experience, and a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction. As a certificated teacher, I have spent the past five years teaching both years of IB Higher Level (HL) Biology, as well as freshman biology and AVID. My students consistently excel, achieving a 100% pass rate on the IB Biology exam.

With a strong foundation in biology and education, I bring experience and passion to my role as a tutor. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Biology, complemented by undergraduate research experience, and a master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction. As a certificated teacher, I have spent the past five years teaching both years of IB Higher Level (HL) Biology, as well as freshman biology and AVID. My students consistently excel, achieving a 100% pass rate on the IB Biology exam.
Before entering the classroom, I worked as a biologist on multiple construction projects. This professional experience enriches my teaching, allowing me to connect biological concepts to practical applications. Additionally, I am well-versed in guiding students through the Internal Assessment (IA) process for IB Biology. IB biology covers everything in AP biology and more, and I very familiar with the AP biology curriculum.
My approach to tutoring is centered on empowering students to overcome challenges and build confidence in their abilities. I focus on creating an engaging, supportive environment where students feel comfortable exploring difficult topics and asking questions.
I specialize in breaking down complex biological concepts into manageable pieces, using real-world examples to make the material relatable and memorable. For students preparing for exams, I emphasize targeted practice, critical thinking, and effective study techniques tailored to their needs. Whether helping a student refine their IA project, navigate challenging coursework, or prepare exams, I can create a deeper understanding of biology and help students achieve their academic goals.
