Independent School Science Teacher Offering Personalized Tutoring

Owen K.

My name is Owen, and I'm passionate about helping students like you excel in science. My journey in the world of science began with a Master's Degree in Neuroscience and Behavior from Wesleyan University where I was awarded the prestigious Maynard Award as the school’s most accomplished student-athlete. During my time there, I immersed myself in molecular and cell biology research and had the rewarding experience of being a Teaching Assistant for upper-level neuroscience courses.

For the past 17 years, I've been fortunate to share my love of science with high school students at exceptional independent schools like Polytechnic School and Chadwick School. I've taught a diverse array of subjects, including biology, AP Biology, chemistry, AP Environmental Science, neuroscience, and even integrated physics, chemistry, and biology. Whether working one-on-one or in the classroom, I've gained a deep understanding of how students from grades 8-12 learn science best.

My philosophy is simple: science doesn't have to be intimidating! I thrive on making complex topics approachable and fostering a genuine understanding. As your tutor, I'm committed to getting to know you as an individual learner, identifying your strengths and areas for growth, and creating a roadmap to help you achieve your academic aspirations. I love giving lessons on challenging topics, working with students on problem sets and practice materials, and doing test-specific preparation. Whether you're looking to conquer a subject you find challenging or aiming for top marks on tests and AP exams, I'm here to guide you every step of the way – with encouragement and a bit of fun along the way!

I'm excited to connect and discuss how I can help you succeed in science.
