Hello! I am a patient and knowledgeable tutor with nearly eleven years of experience. I have an outstanding track record in helping students excel in the sciences and achieve their academic goals. I hold a B.S. in Psychology, which gives me unique insight into the cognitive strategies and memory techniques necessary to tackle complex material. My academic journey also includes completing a year of medical school, giving me an advanced understanding of biological systems and chemical processes. This firsthand experience with the rigor of medical education allows me to be a mentor for pre-medical students.

I specialize in tutoring general chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, psychology, physics, and the MCAT. Having navigated the path of being a pre-medical student myself, I understand exactly how overwhelming these subjects can feel. My teaching philosophy centers on breaking down complex, intimidating mechanisms and equations into intuitive, manageable concepts. Rather than forcing rote memorization, I focus on building core critical thinking and problem-solving skills. We will work closely together to analyze question structures, review tricky homework assignments, and eliminate conceptual roadblocks at a pace that fits your individual learning style.

Whether you are trying to master organic chemistry reaction mechanisms, understand complex physics principles, or build a comprehensive study strategy for the MCAT, I am dedicated to helping you succeed. I provide fun and highly interactive sessions tailored entirely to your personal goals and academic timeline. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or details about what you are currently studying, and let’s work together to unlock your full potential and achieve your academic dreams.

Approved Subjects

Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I am qualified to tutor in this subject because I excelled in biochemistry during my undergraduate studies at Indiana University Bloomington, and received a letter of recommendation for medical school from my biochemistry professor. I furthered my biochemistry knowledge in medical school. I have now been a tutor for over 9 years, and have helped biochemistry students to build confidence, learn to think critically, and learn to excel at test taking.
Biology

Biology

I am qualified to tutor in this subject because I have taken all basic biology courses in college at Indiana University Bloomington, including biology lab. Since I was a pre-med, I also took a variety of higher level courses on the subject, including molecular biology, cell biology, neuroscience, and biochemistry. Later on, medical school allowed me to get a more extensive knowledge and appreciation of these subjects in biology.
Chemistry

Chemistry

In medical school, I solidified my inorganic chemistry knowledge through a scientific foundations course. In college, I excelled in two semesters of general inorganic chemistry, which included a lecture and lab. In addition, I took intermediate inorganic chemistry, which is a detailed upper-level college course.
MCAT

MCAT

I am a previous medical student who is currently preparing to go back to medical school. I received an excellent score on the MCAT in the past. I have 9 years of experience in tutoring MCAT subjects (chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and physics), and can also help with CARS strategy. I am a very patient and experienced tutor that can help with content review, practice exam review, and general MCAT strategy.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

During my undergraduate studies, I excelled in Organic Chemistry 1, Organic Chemistry 2, and Organic Chemistry lab. On my MCAT (Medical School Admissions Test), Organic Chemistry was one of my strongest sections and also the one that I liked the most. During medical school, I further solidified my understanding of advanced organic chemistry.
Physics

Physics

Hi! I would love to assist with physics! I am a previous medical student with almost 10 years of tutoring experience who is in the process of going back to medical school. I performed strongly in physics 1 and 2 during my undergraduate studies and on my MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). I currently tutor physics for high school, college, and the MCAT. I am able to break down questions so that they can be understood conceptually, making a lot of memorization unnecessary. Please review my profile if you are interested, and send me a message if you'd like to set up a session! Sincerely, Cara B
Psychology

Psychology

I was a psychology major at Indiana University Bloomington, where I graduated with all A's in the subject. I have taken all basic psychology courses, along with a lot of upper level courses. Through these courses, I became proficient in writing papers reporting psychological research. In addition, I became very knowledgeable on topics in psychology.

Accommodating and Easy to Follow

Cara is incredible! She is very knowledgeable and it shows. Her explanations are very clear and easy to follow, and she always made sure to explain whatever I needed. I think I learned more in two hours than three months. She was very supportive and made me feel like I was talking with a friend. She’s great!

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Cara is an excellent tutor. She knows a lot about biology and Chemistry. She is also very patient and very nice. She has helped my son with high school Chemistry and Biology. She also helped my daughter study for a college biology exam and she received an A on the test. She presents the material in a way that is easy to understand I highly recommend her as a tutor.
