I'm a passionate STEM tutor with over six years of experience helping students succeed in subjects like chemistry, physics, math, and anatomy. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Florida with a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering and a Minor in Chemistry and I am currently a medical student. My background in engineering and medicine has given me a strong foundation in problem-solving and the core sciences, which I love sharing with students to help them build confidence in the classroom.
During undergrad, I worked as a tutor for a company called Study Edge, where I led weekly lessons and hosted exam review sessions for a variety of STEM subjects: Algebra I & II, Calculus I–III, Chemistry I & II, and Physics I & II. While I’ve worked with students across many STEM disciplines, Physics and Chemistry are my strongest areas and greatest passion. I devoted much of my undergraduate experience to these subjects, not only excelling in them academically but also serving as a Teaching Assistant for both. As a TA, I led weekly review sessions and offered one-on-one support during office hours, helping students build a solid grasp of the material. My goal is always to make complex concepts clear, engaging, and approachable—especially for students who may be feeling overwhelmed.
As someone who has worked with middle school, high school, and college students, I understand that everyone learns a little differently. I tailor my sessions to meet students where they are—whether they need homework help, test prep, or a deeper understanding of the material. I also draw from my engineering and research experiences to connect science topics to real-world applications.

This experience allowed me to create engaging lessons that challenged students while making the material more accessible and confidence-building.
Anatomy

Anatomy

I’m currently a medical student with a strong foundation in anatomy and physiology, reinforced by hands-on experience in an anatomy lab where I prepared cadaver dissections and helped undergraduate students grasp complex anatomical structures. This lab work, paired with my ongoing medical training, has given me a deep and practical understanding of human anatomy. I’ve also worked as a science tutor for several years, helping students in biology, anatomy, and related subjects by breaking down dense material into clear, digestible concepts. In addition to my academic experience, I’ve worked as a medical assistant in both dermatology and orthopedics—specialties where detailed anatomical knowledge is essential. These clinical roles have shown me how anatomy directly informs patient care, and I love incorporating that real-world perspective into my teaching.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I took Biochemistry (BCH4024) during the second semester of my sophomore year and earned an A in the course. After excelling in the class, I was selected to serve as a Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader, where I led weekly group tutoring sessions to help students master challenging biochemistry concepts. I held this position during Summer C semester after I took the course and in the Fall semester of my junior year. In this role, I created custom practice problems and diagrams each week to reinforce the course material in an engaging, student-friendly way. My sessions focused on topics such as enzyme kinetics, metabolism, protein structure, and biochemical pathways. In addition to weekly sessions, I hosted Zoom “walk-in” tutoring and answered student questions. This experience strengthened both my understanding of the material and my ability to explain complex topics clearly and effectively, while adapting to students' learning needs.

I also worked as a subject expert at Study Edge, developing effective strategies to make abstract chemistry concepts more understandable. With a background in Biomedical Engineering and current training as a medical student, I enjoy connecting chemistry to real-world applications in healthcare, making lessons more engaging and relevant. I specialize in tailoring my explanations to each student’s learning style—whether through visual aids, analogies, or step-by-step breakdowns.
Differential Equations

Differential Equations

I took Differential Equations during my freshman year as part of my engineering curriculum and earned top marks in the course. I’ve since applied this knowledge in various real-world projects—for example, modeling heat transfer in biological tissues and analyzing electrical circuits for biomedical devices using systems of first- and second-order differential equations. I also used differential equations in my Parkinson’s disease research, where we analyzed neural signal data and modeled system responses to deep brain stimulation, which relies on understanding dynamic systems and their behavior over time. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of both the theory and practical utility of differential equations, and I enjoy helping students see how these concepts directly apply to fields like medicine, neuroscience, and engineering.
Genetics

Genetics

I have a strong foundation in genetics through my undergraduate coursework and my current studies as a medical student. I’ve tutored students in molecular biology and genetics, helping them understand topics like Mendelian inheritance, gene expression, and genetic disorders.

Extremely Helpful

Elizabeth has been an incredible support for me throughout my tutoring journey, and I genuinely can’t recommend her enough. I first started working with her for General Chemistry II, which was a class I was really struggling to keep up with. She takes the time to understand where I’m getting stuck and explains things in a way that’s not only clear but also tailored to how I learn best. After seeing how helpful our sessions were for Gen Chem, I asked if she could also help me with my Genetics class. She’s really great at breaking down complex material into manageable parts, and she never makes me feel rushed or overwhelmed. No matter how many questions I have or how many times I need something explained, she’s always patient and thorough. One of my favorite things about working with Elizabeth is the whiteboard application she uses during our sessions. She writes out explanations, draws diagrams, and works through problems in real time, which really helps me visualize and retain the material better. After each session, she sends me the notes so I can go back and review everything we covered. Elizabeth's teaching style have made a huge impact on my learning. I feel much more confident in both classes, and I’ve seen real improvement. Overall, she’s been an incredibly positive influence, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for tutoring help.
