Hello there! My name is Tenaya and my background is in Biochemistry, with a PhD from Yale in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry. My teaching and tutoring experience includes high school students to college students, including non-majors and pre-med. I enjoy working with students one on one, tailoring my explanations to match how your brain works. I use real-life metaphors and demonstrations to illustrate a concept, being a multi-modal learner myself. Most of all, I bring a true...

Wonderful teacher!
Our daughter really enjoyed working with Tenaya. She was totally lost in Chemistry and had a lot of anxiety around failing the class. After a couple of sessions with Tenaya, she started relaxing more and understanding so much more of her class. We are so grateful!

knowledgeable and patient
Tenaya has been great working with our collage student, knowledgeable and patient. She explained how Wyzant worked and it has been a really easy process. My son schedules the tutor times with her, he says it has been an easy process and she explains everything well.

Great AP Chemistry Tutor
Tenaya is tutoring my son in AP Chemistry and it is being extremely helpful. I strongly recommend. I send the topics in advance and in the end of the lesson she also provides summary of the lesson and additional exercises. Great tutor!

Tenaya is full of enthusiasm, positivity, and knowledge! She's an amazing tutor! I highly recommend!
Finding a random tutor can be quite intimidating when you're new to this website. With Tenaya's warm message, she's the first tutor that I reached out to and asked for a review session. I had three review sessions with Tenaya and enjoyed every session. Tenaya has helped me with my general chem final by providing slides with practice problems on topics that I needed support and practice like periodic trends, percent yield, and many more. With Tenaya's help, I gained confidence during my final and aced my final. Tenaya guided me with some problems that I struggled with and is very patient. I love the way Tenaya teaches, it's much more understandable than my professor, and Tenaya makes sure that I understood everything (LOL). Also, Tenaya very cheerful, and the support Tenaya gave me made me comfortable to ask questions and not to get scared to make mistakes when doing practice problems with Tenaya. My review session with Tenaya is like having a study session with a friend! Tenaya is also an organized tutor and replies fast to her students, which is a characteristic in recommending her!
