Hi, I’m Sophie! I’m a biology major on the pre-med track at Chapman University, and I love making biology and chemistry feel less intimidating and even fun. If you’ve ever looked at a textbook and thought, “Could someone just explain this in normal words?” we’ll probably work well together.
My background includes AP Biology and AP Chemistry, upper-division biology coursework, undergraduate research, and extensive MCAT preparation. For one year, I also served as a Supplemental Instructor...
Hi, I’m Sophie! I’m a biology major on the pre-med track at Chapman University, and I love making biology and chemistry feel less intimidating and even fun. If you’ve ever looked at a textbook and thought, “Could someone just explain this in normal words?” we’ll probably work well together.
My background includes AP Biology and AP Chemistry, upper-division biology coursework, undergraduate research, and extensive MCAT preparation. For one year, I also served as a Supplemental Instructor for Introduction to Molecular Genetics at Chapman, helping college students through both group sessions and one-on-one tutoring. These experiences have given me a strong foundation in science and experience in explaining challenging concepts in different ways.
My biggest strength is translating complicated science into something that clicks. When I learn something new, I want to understand what the fancy terminology actually means. I bring that same approach to tutoring, using plain-language explanations, everyday connections, and sometimes a funny analogy to make an idea memorable. Then we connect that understanding back to the vocabulary and problem-solving skills students need for class.
As a current college student, I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed before an exam or hesitate to ask a question because everyone else seems to understand. My sessions are friendly, patient, and judgment-free. You can ask me to explain something three different ways, and we’ll keep working until we find an approach that makes sense to you.
I offer biology and chemistry support, including high school and AP coursework, and tailor sessions to each student’s goals. Whether we’re working through practice problems, reviewing a difficult topic, or building better study habits, I want you to leave thinking, “I can actually do this.”
Send me a message with what you’re studying and where you’re getting stuck. I’d love to help!
