UC Berkeley Human Biology Tutor

Kaitlyn G.

My name is Kaitlyn Elizabeth, and I’m a senior at UC Berkeley majoring in Human Biology. My coursework has given me a deep understanding of anatomy, physiology, and cellular and molecular biology, as well as how these subjects connect to real-world medical applications. I am nationally certified as a medical assistant and have completed an EMT program, which has strengthened my ability to explain scientific concepts in a clear, practical way. I plan to continue my education by applying to a physician assistant or medical school, and I love helping other students build the same strong academic foundation that has prepared me for this path.

I began tutoring during high school, where I helped classmates and younger students in biology, chemistry, and general science. Since then, I’ve worked one-on-one with students ranging from high schoolers preparing for AP Biology to college students navigating introductory anatomy and physiology courses. My teaching style focuses on breaking down complex material into simple, logical steps while helping students understand the why behind each concept. I use visuals, examples, and active recall strategies to reinforce understanding and long-term retention.

What sets me apart as a tutor is my combination of academic excellence and hands-on medical experience. I understand how these subjects apply in clinical and professional settings, and I use that insight to make lessons engaging and meaningful. I’m passionate about science and believe that with the right approach, every student can succeed in it. My goal is to help students not only improve their grades but also gain confidence and curiosity about the human body and the world of medicine.
