Brilliant AP Biology Tutor

Tobi tutored my daughter throughout the year and in preparation for her AP Biology exam. She is truly an extraordinarily gifted teacher. She is able to explain difficult concepts clearly, simply, and concisely. She is extremely knowledgeable in the subject and knows the content of each chapter in the text through and through. My daughter would simply tell her what topics she wanted to go over and Tobi would swiftly cover all the relevant material. For those of you searching for an AP Biology tutor, there is no need to look further, Tobi is the best!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Tobi is an incredibly knowledgeable and patient tutor. She provided valuable insights into my son's research, helping him refine his data analysis, methodology, and overall presentation.

Hong, 3 lessons with Tobi

Excellent tutor, gave our daughter confidence in bio that had been lost

Tobi has brought the science light back to our daughter. She loved it when she started high school and has a teacher whose approach my daughter doesn't get. But Tobi has turned that around and Bio is exciting again - especially when you get it! Our daughter is happy to go into the classroom and has the confidence to be there. We are grateful to have found her!

Alex, 5 lessons with Tobi

Excellent tutor

My daughter loved Tobi’s teaching and looking forward to the next classes. This is exactly what I was hoping for, a teacher who would maintain my daughter’s interest in biology and help give her a head start fhis summer before she starts 9th grade this fall.

Sandhya, 40 lessons with Tobi

Knowledgeable and organized tutor

My 11th grade daughter is in AP bio this year and Tobi has been integral in helping her prepare for the AP exam. Tobi was always clear and well organized so that my daughter had a much better understanding of the material covered in class. We highly recommend Tobi for anyone who needs tutoring in biology or AP biology.
