I have always enjoyed helping fellow students learn. A tutor can not only help a student master a specific topic, but also inspire self-confidence and curiosity. I enjoy discovering the individual learning-styles of students and personalizing tutoring plans to their strengths.

I have always enjoyed helping fellow students learn. A tutor can not only help a student master a specific topic, but also inspire self-confidence and curiosity. I enjoy discovering the individual learning-styles of students and personalizing tutoring plans to their strengths.

I particularly enjoy science and math classes and have performed well throughout high school and college. I earned scores of 5 on my AP tests in Biology, Chemistry, Calculus AB, and Calculus BC. I achieved perfect scores on my SAT Biology and Mathematics II Subject tests. After high school, I continued my education at UC Davis, earning a bachelors in Entomology and a bachelors in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior. Upon graduation, I had earned a cumulative GPA of 3.59, and the 2014 Outstanding Entomology Undergraduate award. I believe that my enthusiasm for the process of learning and desire to understand the people I work with, equip me to effectively guide students through difficult subjects.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

While receiving two bachelors in biological disciplines, I have developed a strong foundation in a wide range of biological topics, including evolution, ecology, genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, and cognitive science. This experience has allowed me to become familiar with overarching themes in biology. As a biology tutor, I seek to present diverse examples of major patterns, guiding the student to see a coherent picture rather than a set of "to-be-memorized" facts. Once major themes are understood, important details can be presented to further overall understanding.
Botany

Botany

As an Entomology undergraduate from UC Davis, I was given a solid education in plant sciences. My curriculum included Plant Physiology, California Floristics, Plant-Virus-Vector Interactions, Plant Pathology and Plant Biochemistry. After college, I continued my education in the plant sciences by working for the Plant Pathology Department as a research assistant. Our field crew worked to investigate the effect of forest fire on conifer pathogens. Through these experiences, I feel prepared to tutor in plant physiology, anatomy, taxonomy, systematics, and other subjects.
Physiology

Physiology

While receiving a bachelor's in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior, I was given a strong foundation in chemistry, molecular biology, and cellular biology. This knowledge helped to inform my approach to physiology while I took general and system specific courses. I aim to encourage students to use their background knowledge in chemistry and cell biology to develop an intuitive understanding of physiology.

Excellent Biology, Physics and Chemistry Tutor

Susan is absolutely the best! Her impeccable expertise in all science subjects makes her an outstanding tutor. Her approach to high school teenagers is what all parents need.

Very knowledgeable tutor

Susan has been helping my son with Freshman Biology and she’s great at explaining concepts to him in a way that he can easily understand. My son has enjoyed his sessions with Susan.

Hanieh, 22 lessons with Susan

Best science tutor

Susan is absolutely the best! She is the most knowledgeable, dedicated and patient tutor. My son was failing advanced biology in 9th grade, and only with Susan’s help, his grade changed from D to A+. She also has an excellent approach to make the lessons interesting and engaging for a stubborn teenager.

Knowledgeable and Flexible Tutor

Susan has been tutoring my daughter on Chemistry during the past 2 weeks. My daughter really enjoys the lesson with her. She said Susan was very good at teaching and really helps her understand what she missed from the school. We asked Susan to reschedule the session couple of times since my daughter need help with upcoming exam and Susan was always willing to help and reschedule the lesson for us. Thanks so much Susan!

Tutor you can trust that your child learns & grows

In the first semester of last year, my 9th grade daughter was struggling in the Biology Honors class. So, we asked Susan to help with test prep in the second semester. Thanks to her high quality lessons, my daughter has scored A+ or A every test since then. Susan is very knowledgeable, kind, patient, professional, and asks the right questions to see if my daughter fully understands the concepts. And if there are areas that my daughter does not understand well, Susan takes the time to explain until my daughter gets it. She seems to genuinely care about students’ well being with the subject and tries to accommodate students’ needs. We are more than happy with Susan, and we are continuing to work with her for the Chemistry Honors class this year.

Super helpful and makes tough concepts seem very simple.

Susan gave me a good review of topics in Biology I that I needed a refresher on in Biology II. She was very patient and answered all of my questions. She is fantastic!

Susan is both patient and knowledgeable

Susan has been helping me with my first year of college Calculus. She has helped me understand the many nuances of differentials and has gotten me unstuck on numerous problems. Highly recommended.

An excellent tutor

Susan is an excellent tutor and she helped my son with some tough topics in AP Chemistry. She came well prepared for the class and can also cover topics on the fly.

Jomon, 2 lessons with Susan

One of the best tutors I have ever had!

Susan is so sweet and very patient. She’s very encouraging and makes me feel much more confident about my college math and biology courses! Highly recommend.

Allison, 10 lessons with Susan

Excellent tutor

Susan is very patient, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable. She has been a wonderful tutor! We look forward to continuing to work with her. She has made a big difference during this time of virtual learning reteaching and supporting learning gaps.
