A.S.C.T.About Rebecca
I love learning. As a graduate of Palmer College of Chiropractic, I know that opportunity and success looks an awful lot like hard work paying off. As the founding tutor for the Biology Lab and tutoring program and serving several semesters in the Nursing Program's student learning lab at Mesa State College (now Colorado Mesa University), I have

"Fantastic tutor!"
- Michele, Schererville, IN on 5/24/16My daughter was struggling in her Human Genetics course and was failing the quarter. We could not find any local tutors but luckily connected with Rebecca who suggested using the online WyzAnt interface. Rebecca was very flexible about scheduling and great about fitting us into her schedule. She was always prompt, professional and went the extra mile reviewing PDF files we sent her from the class and finding extra study materials for my daughter to review. Six weeks later my daughter's grade went for the quarter went from an F to a C+, she received a B on her Final Exam and a B- for the semester. She could not have done it without Rebecca's help. I highly recommend her!!
"Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor"
- Jami, Willowbrook, IL on 8/22/17Rebecca really helped me study for my Hesi A2 test. She was super cooperative and really was there to help me and encouraged me through the whole studying process. She knew so much and had no issue with any subject matter I brought up. She helped explain my questions and gave me alot of practice problems. She also helped give me some better studying techniques. Amazing tutor and great person overall! I will be calling on her again in the Future!!
"Great tutor!"
- Andrea, Bellingham, WA on 8/18/17Rebecca is open to all questions and allows the student to guide the discussion. She uses a great deal of every day examples that help solidify the material.
"Highly Qualified and Intelligent"
- Sabrina, Richmond, VA on 4/14/17Truthfully, I don’t even know where to begin with regards to introducing just how much I owe this human. In June of 2016 I was admitted into a Somatic Counseling Master’s program, on the condition that I pass Anataomy/Kinesthesiology (as mandated by the American Dance Therapy Association). After speaking with the program directors it was suggested to me that I enroll in the Brigham Young University online Anatomy course; I was asked to complete the course or I could not enter the program. Had I known that I had made the awful decision to register for a course intended to be self-paced and an estimated time completion of a year and a half from the start date, rest assured this would have been amended quickly. Unfortunately the course had been paid for already, and I naturally, was stuck dealing with the consequences. I came across Rebecca when I determined that I needed a tutor to attain a year and a half’s worth of anatomy material in three months time.
When I conveyed this plan to Rebecca I was not met with laughter or even a suggestion to put off grad school (a rhetoric I’d heard from most everyone I spoke to about my plan). As crazy as it may sound, Rebecca went all-the-way, fully into the experience with me. To help you create a picture in your head of how this looked, Rebecca and I spent a minimum of an hour and a half per day, literally. Rebecca’s job title did not mandate that she LITERALLY teach me the material; and yet, she did.
A highly qualified, fiercely intelligent and driven woman, Rebecca took on the role of not only my tutor but my teacher, my support system and advocate. At times, I will humbly state that I leaned on her for emotional support in a way that I have never experienced prior to our tutoring sessions. Hell, sometime in the third month I’m fairly certain I spent an hour of our session just crying. While this may sound shocking, like, “Why would she pay to cry? This isn’t therapy, I’m looking for a tutor”, I know feasibly, that if Rebecca had not been able to fascinate this variety of learning for me, I would have probably failed the course and therefore, not have been admitted into my program.
Yes, I did the work. No, Rebecca did not take the exams for me. Yes, expectations and boundaries were put in place and emphasized throughout our entire time working together. However, what makes Rebecca so truly, unique as a tutor is her authentic desire to fascilitate every facet in which you could process new material (i.e. visual aids, verbal dissections, auditory material, cognitive analysis, etc.). In my 6+ years of higher education I have not met someone so dedicated to matching my learning style as Rebecca. If you have a tangible goal surrounding attaining scientific knowledge (and perhaps in a particularly timely fashion), there really is no better tutor for you than Rebecca. I can saw with 100% sincerity that if it were not for Rebecca’s assistance throughout the summer of 2016, there would be no chance of my being currently be enrolled in a Master’s level program.
"Very knowledgeable and helpful"
- Elaine, Los Angeles, CA on 3/28/17Rebecca is an excellent tutor. After one lesson with her I feel comfortable and more confident with material that I had been struggling with for four weeks. She makes excellent examples, is easy to understand, and is very knowledgeable. Biology/Botany is not easy to condense, but she did an excellent job and gave a lot of helpful tips.
"Very good tutor"
- Jaclyn, North Babylon, NY on 3/25/17Rebecca is very knowledgeable about body movements and helped me to better understand. I'm happy about future sessions, I'm sure she will help me improve my grades.
"Best Physio tutor ever"
- Bobbie, San Rafael, CA on 2/25/17I started out this semester wondering how best to learn my physio lectures and understand the concepts. Not an easy tasks and decided to hire a tutor for help. After doing a lengthy search, I found Wyzant and Rebecca. To my absolute surprise, I found a tutor that not only understands the material but easily fell right into my learning style and has gotten me up to speed and prepared me for my weekly lectures as well as exams. We meet several times a week and Rebecca is so fluid that she follows my thought process from area to theory without missing a step. This semester wouldn't be such a success without her help!!! Thank you Rebecca! I highly recommend her to anyone needing extra support and encouragement.
"Great session"
- Mary, Huntsville, AL on 2/24/17Great instructor and tutor. I was able to understand the content better. She helped me with APA, my Rubric and grammar writing. She is very patient and really goes over the content that you need.
"Awesome tutor"
- Ann, Rowlett, TX on 2/11/17Working with Rebecca on microbiology. She is incredibly well versed in the subject and patient when I am not. Highly recommend her services as she clearly enjoys tutoring.
"Excellent biology tutor"
- Haley, Newport Beach, CA on 1/25/17Great tutor! Highly recommend! She knows a lot about biology and takes her time to help you learn what you are trying to accomplish. Before the session I did not feel comfortable with the concepts I was learning. Although after the tutoring session I felt a lot better about it.
"Knowledgeable and Articulate Teacher"
- Peer, Iowa City, IA on 12/22/16Ms. T helped me better understand the content that I was learning in class. Anatomy as a subject is not very easy to understand the first time around, and Ms. T helped clear up gaps in my understanding, which ultimately led to higher test scores. I'm very pleased with the lessons and I recommend Ms. T to others as well.
"Patient and Highly Intelligent tutor"
- Dominick, Wildwood, NJ on 12/20/16Rebecca taught me hours worth of information in 1 hour span of time. I can say with confidence that she saved my grade a full letter grade for my genetics class. She is also versatile in subject matters aside from biology (from my understanding). Easily one of the best tutors I've had the privilege of learning from
"Knowledgeable And Flexible"
- Randy, Council Bluffs, IA on 10/23/16Very willing to flex to my Learning style, I greatly appreciate her knowledge as well. Will continue to work with her
"Amazing Tutor!!"
- Michelle, Jacksonville, FL on 8/27/16I can not say enough good things about Rebecca. She was willing to work with me and my schedule even if that meant meeting at 9 or 10 at night. She was very knowledgeable and engaging and could walk me through in depth any area I was struggling in with my nursing course. I came to Rebecca struggling the third week of the semester struggling and needing help. She was able to help me turn my class around, understand the course material, and get a B in the course in just 4 1/2 weeks. If you need any help with nursing courses, she is definitely the tutor to turn to!!!
"Kinetic learning"
- Claudette, Port Saint Lucie, FL on 8/15/16Rebecca offers practical strategies and insight in how to analyze questions in the cardio and pulmonary areas of anatomy and physiology. Which I believe will increase my test taking abilities.
"Awesome tutor!"
- Sheryk, Key Largo, FL on 6/28/16Rebecca was very flexible with my busy schedule and helped me whenever I needed it. She is very intelligent and can aid you in anything you need to know. She has tutored me numerous times for my nursing exam and I couldn't be more prepared!
"Great tutor"
- Terry, Colorado Springs, CO on 5/7/16Rebecca is very knowledgeable about the subjects she tutors in. The first session we had I walked in there and told her that I was working on the digestive system and she instantly knew exactly where to start, no hesitation. I loved how she would let us go through my book so that I could better understand the way my book explained it and just worry about the specific topics my book covered. She had a very flexible schedule and was able to move our appointments around so that it was best for my study schedule and classes. I will definitely use her again in future subjects in later semesters.
"Helped Explain Difficult Concepts"
- Andrew, Norman, OK on 4/7/16Rebecca was able to answer all of the questions I had during the session and helped explain difficult concepts to me in simpler and more understandable ways.
"Great tutor"
- Laura, Colorado Springs, CO on 2/17/16We just started with Rebecca, but I can already tell she's very knowledgeable and very interested in ensuring my daughter understands the material well. My daughter is definitely benefiting from Rebecca's tutoring!
Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
American History
I have always loved history and am thrilled to live in such a dynamic country with such a vivid history. Traditional history learning is about memorizing dates and names, but I know history to be the bright, enchanting story of all of us - and I am excited to help you see History come alive. With excellent scores in all of my history classes, from general Civics to AP American History and even college-level Constitutional Theory, I have been gifted with a wide and deeply grounded comprehension of where we have been. Come with me to discover where our history will take us.
Anatomy
I have been tutoring in Human Anatomy and Physiology since 1998, when I supplemented and supported my own classmates in high school. Since then, I have majored in human biology and sciences for two separate degrees and have assisted students from middle school through post-doctoral graduate courses in their mastery of the amazing Human Machine.
Anthropology
I completed 24 hours anthropology study in undergrad. I was in the top 10 in each of my 6 classes. Topics mastered were evolutionary/archaeological anthropology, civilization/societal development, comparative religion as an anthropological tool, and America as a foreign culture.
Biology
Biology has always been my favorite science and why not? Chemistry in motion, physics with a purpose, and all the gooey bits that make living things so fascinating - Biology has it all! I have been teaching biology to my peers, my juniors, and my seniors (from pre-school through post-doctoral graduates) for nearly 30 years and I can't wait to help you discover your own passion for the dynamic organisms and ecosystems that surround us all.
Botany
I have over 20 credit hours in undergraduate and graduate level course work in botany, plant anatomy, cellular biology, and genetics. I also completed a 200 hour independent study internship in wine making and viticulture. I established and operated the Biology open study lab at Mesa State College, tutoring all levels of college students.
Elementary Math
I am passionate about helping students of all ages gain a firm comprehension of our world and how it works and really the best place for anyone to start is in Math. From counting, telling time, and making correct change (without a calculator!) to plotting equations and predicting scientific outcomes, Math is where it all starts. I have been helping youngsters understand math's first principles since I was in junior high (before 1996) and can't wait to introduce your student to all the mysteries and amazing discoveries a solid foundation in math can reveal.
Genetics
I have extensive experience with genetics: 18 credit hours during my B.S. studies (finishing in the ton 10% of all classes and labs), as well as 300+ hours tutoring undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate level students in genetics and cellular biology - all of whom finished in the top 25% of their classes. I am the perfect genetics tutor for those needing to understand the concepts and intricacies of genetics and how the genome interacts with the world.
Government & Politics
Want to know the scariest sentence in the English language? "Don't worry - I'm from the government and I'm here to help." Love it or hate it, our government is arguably the best version of government to spring from the mind of man - so far. I have been an avid student of citizenship, governance, and the various methods by which man has ruled his peers since I first understood that our government had something to do with me - and all of us- or roughly since about 1994. My education in politics and governance has been rigorous, with AP Civics my freshman year of high school and lead me to join the Student Government in College.
Microbiology
My eye has been glued to a microscope since Christmas of 1990 - I received my first Fischer-Price microscope and haven't been able to live without a microscope close at hand since! Microbiology courses in high school and college, all with grades in the 96th percentile, have only served to fan the flames. Lab protocols and tests, and interpretation of often irreconcilable results are especially fun and Bergey's Manual is my idea of a "light read".
Nursing
I have 900+ hours experience tutoring nursing and pre-nursing students both in person and online. I have enough understanding of nursing school procedures and requirements that while I as in my B.S. in Biology undergrad studies at Mesa State College, I was asked to work in the nursing lab to help nursing students with their courses. I was also the founding tutor for the Biology Studies tutoring lab, where I was the chief pre-nursing tutor, preparing struglling pre-nursing students for the rigors of one of the top nursing programs in the state. I have the unique ability to prepare students to become student nurses as well as work with nursing students to understand the often challenging and complex material to become effective health-care professionals by engaging the critical thinking skills that the profession requires but is often not required until entry into nursing programs nation wide.
Physiology
I have been tutoring in Human Anatomy and Physiology since 1998, when I supplemented and supported my own classmates in high school. Since then, I have majored in human biology and sciences for two separate degrees and have assisted students from middle school through post-doctoral graduate courses in their mastery of the amazing Human Machine.
Public Speaking
I have given more than 100 speeches in various settings for audiences large and small, completed Toastmasters training, and taken Voice and Diction as well as Speechmaking classes in college, both with the top marks in the class. I have more than 10 years experience in visual presentation making and Powerpoint.
