Hello and welcome,

My name is Donovan Evans, and I am currently a Neurology resident physician with more than 12 years of tutoring and mentorship experience across SAT/ACT preparation, mathematics, science, and advanced STEM coursework.

I specialize in helping students improve not only their academic performance, but also their confidence, organization, testing strategy, and long-term study habits. My approach is highly individualized and built around structured systems that help students make measurable progress over time.

I offer tutoring in:
• SAT/ACT Preparation
• Algebra I & II
• Geometry
• Trigonometry
• Biology
• Chemistry
• Physics
• Organic Chemistry
• Anatomy & Physiology

My SAT/ACT preparation programs are built around personalized, goal-oriented study plans tailored to each student’s baseline performance, timeline, strengths, and target score goals. These systems include pacing strategies, timing management, homework structure, progress tracking, adaptive adjustments, and high-yield test-taking methods designed to maximize efficiency and score improvement. Example study plans are available upon request.

Students work with me not only to review content, but also to strengthen execution under pressure, eliminate recurring mistakes, and build repeatable problem-solving systems that transfer across exams and coursework.

In addition to standard tutoring, I also offer summer enrichment and foundational STEM programs designed to help students preview difficult coursework before entering honors, AP, dual-enrollment, or college-level classes.

I value patience, communication, accountability, and realistic goal setting. Every student learns differently, and I believe strong results come from combining encouragement with structure, consistency, and a clear plan.

I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals.

Knowledgeable and Considerate tutor!

Donovan is the best tutor I've ever had! I needed to raise my SAT score by 60 points, but with his help, I tripled that goal and earned a 1420. He not only knows the material but is also patient in explaining it and creates a safe environment for students to learn and progress effectively. When you trust Donovan and his process, you'll see outstanding results. Aside from the knowledge, his belief and confidence in my abilities helped me tremendously. Even though I was the one taking the test, he was truly the one who helped me get there.

Detailed and patient chemistry tutor!

It’s one thing to have knowledge, it’s another to be able to apply knowledge and teach. Donovan has a systematic approach to chemistry that will have you feeling confident in as little as the first session. I’m so grateful for his expertise, and glad he was able to assist me on my journey.

Knowledgeable, clear and really patient

Donovan clarified the application of Calculus on 1-dim and 2-dim motion problems. Went over some basic algebra topics just to refresh my mind.
