The majority of high school and college-level students have a hard time with science, and it isn't because they aren't smart. It's because they don't have the tools and strategies needed to succeed in these courses.

The majority of high school and college-level students have a hard time with science, and it isn't because they aren't smart. It's because they don't have the tools and strategies needed to succeed in these courses. I have been a chemistry and biology tutor for 7 years, and have lots of experience in helping struggling students gain confidence and improve their grades dramatically. With so many years of experience, I am able to predict what might be on biology and chemistry exams. I work through high-yield practice problems with students, and help them focus on the material that is important. I am easy mannered and patient, and I help students to gain the critical thinking skills that result in them getting A's in these hard classes. Not only do my students show improvements in grades, they actually learn to enjoy even the toughest of subjects.

In addition to my 7 years of tutoring chemistry and biology, I also recently started tutoring for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT). I am a previous medical school student who is currently considering returning to medical school after many years of introspection. I have a lot of insight into the type of critical thinking that is tested on the MCAT, since I was in medical school in the past and currently study the MCAT material/strategy daily. I am able to tutor all areas of the MCAT, so feel free to ask me about that if you are interested!

Whether you are looking for someone to help with high school or college-level Biology (including Biochemistry), Chemistry (General or Organic, lab or lecture), or MCAT preparation, I can confidently say that I am qualified to help you understand this material. I have won the "Top 10% Wyzant Tutor" award through Wyzant for the past two years in a row, and have a great track record in helping students get their desired grades. If you have read this profile and believe that I may be a good fit for your needs, I would love to hear from you!

Sincerely,
Cara Bruzan

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.

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.
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.

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!

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!
