About Malaney

Bio

Hi! Thank you for considering me as your tutor!

My name is Malaney. I obtained a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from RPI in 2015, a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from University of Minnesota in 2021, and completed a postdoctoral position at UCLA. I recently moved to Indianapolis where I am starting a new job as a Drug Discovery Scientist.

Hi! Thank you for considering me as your tutor!

My name is Malaney. I obtained a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from RPI in 2015, a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from University of Minnesota in 2021, and completed a postdoctoral position at UCLA. I recently moved to Indianapolis where I am starting a new job as a Drug Discovery Scientist. I have extensive experience with teaching and tutoring and my goal is to always build a student's confidence and help them to gain foundational knowledge that will help them tackle more difficult problems independently! I have tutored students in various topics including high school algebra/calc, AP calculus, College level physics 1/2, chemistry, and biology. My teaching style is very interactive, meaning that I will show the student how to approach a problem first, and then guide them to build their confidence in solving problems independently. I am committed to my student's learning and success and prioritize having a few regular students so that I can focus my efforts on them without spreading myself thin. I always welcome emails/texts with questions around sessions because I value dedication and effort from students and I will always be here to do the same!

A quote I live by: "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough" - Albert Einstein

Malaney is the literally the best

Absolutely sweet, very patient, and actually cares about her students!! She makes sure to go through all the material ☺️☺️

Nairi, 4 lessons with Malaney

Intelligent, kind, and excellent communicator

Malaney provided insightful and very instructive tutoring in math to my child. She was extremely responsive, answered all my questions, and handled the scheduling in a professional manner. My child said that Malaney explained difficult concepts in a simple, coherent manner, helping her to better understand the materials from her math class. Malaney also spent extensive time preparing for the session, which was evident in her manner in conducting the session.

Theresa, 2 lessons with Malaney

Very knowledgeable and easy communication

Malaney was patient with my daughter and really broke down the Calculus concepts which made it easier for my daughter to understand. Malaney is very knowledgeable about the subject and took her time and didn’t rush my daughter. We are definitely booking another tutoring session.

Encouraging, Patient, Well-Rounded!

Ever since working with Malaney, my conceptual understanding of Calculus has expanded! She introduces new ways to view a typical problem and gives helpful tips for the solving process. In a typical lesson, we work through AP-style problems and she patiently walks me helps me along the way. Not only is she reliable, but she is also committed to each of her students. She is perfect if you need to prepare for an examination!
