I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology and am a certified secondary science teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching high school Biology, Environmental Science, and ACT Science preparation. My certification covers grades 6–12, and I have taught a wide range of students with varying academic needs in both traditional classrooms and virtual learning environments. My teaching emphasizes making complex biological concepts more approachable by connecting them to real-life examples and promoting critical thinking.

Over the years, I’ve worked extensively with students preparing for the ACT, with a special focus on the Science section. I help students master time management strategies, data interpretation skills, and scientific reasoning by guiding them through practice passages and targeted review. My tutoring approach is supportive and personalized—I begin by identifying the student’s strengths and gaps, then tailor lessons to meet their individual needs. I often incorporate visuals, questioning techniques, and test-taking tips to build both understanding and confidence.

My experience includes tutoring one-on-one as well as small group sessions, and I’ve worked with students from middle school through college prep. Whether a student is struggling to pass Biology or aiming for a top ACT score, my goal is to create a learning experience that is clear, encouraging, and results-driven. I am passionate about helping students not only succeed academically but also feel empowered in their learning journey.

ACT Science

ACT Science

I am a certified science teacher with more than a decade of experience guiding students through the ACT Science section. I help students develop strong analytical skills, improve their ability to interpret graphs and experiments, and apply effective time management techniques. My personalized tutoring strategies are designed to boost scores by simplifying complex scientific information and enhancing test-taking confidence. I’m dedicated to helping students achieve measurable improvements and reach their target ACT goals.
Biology

Biology

I am a certified high school science teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching Biology I, AP Biology, and Biology II. I specialize in breaking down complex topics and using real-world examples to help students build a deep understanding of biology. I also teach essential study skills such as note-taking, test prep strategies, and time management to support long-term academic success. My approach is personalized, encouraging, and designed to help students gain both confidence and clarity in science.
Environmental Science

Environmental Science

I have extensive experience teaching both Environmental Science and AP Environmental Science, where I developed and delivered rigorous, standards-based curricula. For several years, I led senior students in hands-on coastal restoration projects, integrating fieldwork with classroom learning to deepen their understanding of ecosystem dynamics and conservation. Additionally, I served as an AP Reader for five years, which gave me in-depth insight into the AP scoring process and a strong understanding of how to prepare students for success on the exam. This combination of teaching, field experience, and assessment expertise has enriched my ability to foster environmental literacy and critical thinking in students.
