Hello! I am a patient and knowledgeable tutor with eleven years of experience. I have an outstanding track record in helping high-school and college students excel in the sciences and achieve their academic goals. I hold a B.S. in Psychology, which gives me unique insight into cognitive strategies that are useful for these classes. 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 relying on memorization, I focus on building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. We will work closely together to analyze questions, review 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 that allow students to enjoy learning even the hardest subjects! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or details about what you are currently studying. I'd love to help you realize your full potential!

Approved Subjects

Biochemistry

Biochemistry

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 graduated with a strong GPA and a minor in chemistry. Later, I strengthened and expanded my knowledge of biochemistry when I went to medical school. My areas of expertise are metabolism and enzyme kinetics.
Biology

Biology

At Indiana University Bloomington, I excelled in all of my undergraduate biology classes, including biology lecture and lab. Since I was on the pre-medical track, I took many upper-level biology courses, including molecular biology, cell biology, and biochemistry. Later on, going to medical school allowed me to get a more extensive knowledge and appreciation of biology.
Chemistry

Chemistry

During my undergraduate studies, I achieved strong grades in general chemistry (lecture and lab) and upper-level intermediate inorganic chemistry. I graduated with a minor in chemistry from Indiana University Bloomington. Chemistry was one of the sections in which I performed the best when I took my MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). My specific areas of expertise are stoichiometry, chemical bonding, and chemical equilibrium.
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

I performed very well in physics 1 and 2 during my undergraduate studies, which included both lecture and lab. I later scored strongly on the physics section of my MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). My areas of expertise are classical mechanics and optics.
Psychology

Psychology

I was a psychology major at Indiana University Bloomington, where I graduated with all As in the subject. I have taken all basic psychology courses, along with many upper-level courses. I have a lot of experience in analyzing and writing psychological research papers. My area of greatest expertise is abnormal 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.

Amazing instructor

She was very nice and knowledgeable in General Chemistry II. My son was able to understand anything she taught him. She will also ask for the question beforehand and fully solve it to your comprehension. One of the best tutors I have found! I will definitely be contacting her soon. Thank you Cara!
