Hello! My name is Nicola, and I am passionate about helping students unlock their academic potential in biology and beyond. I hold a Master of Science in Medical Science from Brown University, where I graduated with a perfect GPA, and a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Political Science from Northeastern University, where I graduated magna cum laude. I’ve scored in the 95th percentile on the MCAT and the 99th percentile on the SAT, with a score of 5 on nine AP exams, so I understand the dedication needed to achieve high academic goals.
With over four years of teaching and tutoring experience, I’ve worked with students across a wide range of levels, from middle school and high school to undergraduate and graduate students. My approach combines a deep love for science with a personalized teaching style that adapts to each student’s learning needs. I strive to make complex topics like biology and biochemistry accessible and engaging by relating them to real-world examples, helping students not only understand but also retain the information.
In addition to tutoring, I bring hands-on experience from working in research settings, including Massachusetts General Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where I specialized in oncology research, molecular biology, and advanced lab techniques. This research background helps me bring a practical, applied understanding to our sessions, making science more relevant and exciting.
Whether you're preparing for the AP Biology exam, need support with college-level biology and biochemistry, or are gearing up for the MCAT, I’m here to guide you with proven strategies, expert knowledge, and a passion for teaching. Let’s work together to turn your academic challenges into strengths!
