I’m Giovanna! I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Science, and I’m passionate about helping students build a strong understanding of science while developing the confidence to succeed in their classes. I have four years of experience mentoring and tutoring incoming college students through my university's honors program, where I helped students develop study skills, manage their time, and adjust to the demands of college-level coursework. I have also provided private one-on-one tutoring to an elementary school student through a nonprofit organization, as well as private study skills and scholarship tutoring to high school and college students. In addition, I spent four years as an outdoor experience program leader, teaching group boating lessons to K–12 students, and two years as a certificated substitute teacher, providing one-on-one and group instruction to K–12 students with a variety of learning needs.

My approach to tutoring is personalized and focused on helping students become more independent learners. As a former student, I researched and developed evidence-based study strategies that improved my grades and understanding of course material, and I enjoy helping students identify strategies that fit their learning styles and goals. I prepare for sessions outside of tutoring time so I can come prepared to explain material in a way that best suits each student. In addition to helping students understand challenging concepts, I aim to give them practical strategies they can continue using independently outside of our sessions. I would love to learn about your goals and help you find a path toward achieving them. You are welcome to book a session with me or send me a message to discuss your learning needs and how I can best support you.

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

I earned an A in both the lecture and lab components of my anatomy coursework and gained hands-on experience working with human cadavers in the anatomy lab. This experience strengthened my understanding of anatomical structures and their relationships within the human body. I can help students translate what they learn from diagrams and anatomy models to actual human structures. I also have experience as a certificated substitute teacher, supporting middle and high school students in the classroom.
Biology

Biology

I have completed a broad range of biology coursework, earning an A in both the lecture and lab components of each course. My coursework includes evolutionary biology, introductory and advanced molecular and cell biology, biostatistics, microbiology, and ecology. I also have experience as a certificated substitute teacher, supporting middle and high school students in biology classrooms. I look forward to helping students strengthen their understanding of biological concepts and develop effective strategies for learning the material.
College Counseling

College Counseling

I have experience helping high school and college students navigate the scholarship application process, including identifying opportunities, understanding application requirements, and developing strong application materials. I have personally earned eight major scholarships, including a full-ride scholarship, giving me firsthand experience with researching opportunities and preparing competitive applications. I can help students develop a personalized scholarship search strategy, organize their professional portfolio, and strengthen their essays and other application materials. My goal is to help students approach the scholarship process with a clear, organized plan and identify opportunities that align with their background and goals.
Microbiology

Microbiology

I earned an A in both my microbiology lecture and laboratory coursework, giving me a strong foundation in microbiological concepts and hands-on laboratory techniques. Through the lab component, I gained practical experience applying lecture concepts and working with microorganisms in a laboratory setting. I can help students understand challenging microbiology concepts, connect lab applications to course material, and develop effective study strategies. I also have experience teaching and tutoring students in biological sciences, and I will tailor my approach to each student’s learning needs and goals.
Nutrition

Nutrition

I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics and completed extensive coursework taught by registered dietitians. My coursework included honors introductory nutrition, cultural nutrition, nutrition assessment, nutrition throughout the lifecycle, two applied biochemistry courses focused on macro- and micronutrient metabolism, and medical nutrition therapy focused on nutrition interventions. I also wrote an honors research thesis in nutrition, where I developed a nutrition intervention program and studied its impact on food insecurity among students. I can help students connect nutrition concepts to metabolism, the life cycle, cultural considerations, and medical case studies.
Physiology

Physiology

I earned an A in both the lecture and lab components of my human and mammalian physiology coursework. Through these courses, I developed a strong foundation in understanding how body systems function and interact. I also have experience as a certificated substitute teacher, supporting middle and high school students in science classrooms. I can help students work through complex physiological concepts, connect processes across body systems, and develop effective study strategies.
Psychology

Psychology

I completed college-level psychology coursework, earning an A, and have continued building my understanding through my MCAT preparation. On the MCAT, I earned a 130 on the Psychology and Sociology section, which tests foundational undergraduate psychology and sociology concepts, placing me in the 92nd percentile. Through my coursework and independent study, I developed a strong understanding of topics such as human behavior, cognition, learning, development, and social processes, and the ability to apply these concepts to unfamiliar situations. When tutoring psychology, I help students understand not only what a concept means, but where it came from by discussing the historical foundations of psychological theories and the work of the figures who developed them, while connecting those concepts to real-world examples of how psychology appears in everyday life.
Study Skills

Study Skills

With four years of experience mentoring and tutoring college students through my university’s Honors Program, I have helped students develop effective strategies for academic success. Through my own academic journey, I have researched and applied evidence-based study strategies that improved both my grades and understanding of course material. I can help you identify and tailor study techniques to your individual learning style, create a study schedule, and adapt your learning to a variety of subjects and course formats. My goal is to help you build practical skills and strategies that you can continue using independently throughout your academic career.
