Hi there, I’m Sydney!
I graduated summa cum laude (4.0 GPA, Phi Beta Kappa) from Yale University with a B.S. in Molecular Biology. I’m currently a third-year medical student at Columbia University and I was also a Rhodes Scholarship finalist.
Throughout my education, I’ve learned that the most effective instructors are those who truly meet students where they are — taking the time to explain concepts clearly, adapting their teaching style, and making difficult material feel manageable....
Hi there, I’m Sydney!
I graduated summa cum laude (4.0 GPA, Phi Beta Kappa) from Yale University with a B.S. in Molecular Biology. I’m currently a third-year medical student at Columbia University and I was also a Rhodes Scholarship finalist.
Throughout my education, I’ve learned that the most effective instructors are those who truly meet students where they are — taking the time to explain concepts clearly, adapting their teaching style, and making difficult material feel manageable. I’ve brought this approach to my own tutoring, working with thousands of students as a head teaching assistant for introductory and advanced biology and statistics courses at Yale.
Now, as an Ivy League medical student and college graduate, I tutor a wide range of STEM subjects for middle school, high school, and college students, including biology, chemistry, math, statistics, MCAT preparation (>90th percentile scorer), and graduate school interview preparation. I’m also a national award-winning writer and love helping students strengthen college and professional applications, analytical essays, and creative writing.
I’m passionate about helping students of all backgrounds build confidence, master challenging material, and reach their academic and professional goals. I’d love to work with you — please feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a session!
