About Elise

Bio

Hi, I'm Elise! I graduated from Williams College with a bachelor's degree in biology and math. I fell in love with tutoring when I was in high school, and have been tutoring students one-on-one, in small groups, and occasionally teaching or TA-ing classes ever since then.

I have instructed students from middle school to college and adult learners both remotely and in person. I have experience teaching a wide range of subjects, including English, history, math, statistics, biology,...

Hi, I'm Elise! I graduated from Williams College with a bachelor's degree in biology and math. I fell in love with tutoring when I was in high school, and have been tutoring students one-on-one, in small groups, and occasionally teaching or TA-ing classes ever since then.

I have instructed students from middle school to college and adult learners both remotely and in person. I have experience teaching a wide range of subjects, including English, history, math, statistics, biology, chemistry, and test preparation. I have also tutored many undergraduate-level proof-based math courses including real analysis, abstract algebra, topology, and probability. Tutoring students at many levels helps me frame concepts in ways that set students up for success in future classes by preparing them for which concepts are coming next. I also work to help students solve problems through understanding and problem-solving, rather than memorization.

After college, I worked full-time in a genetics research lab at Yale School of Medicine. This gave me firsthand experience with many genetics, evolution, and biotechnology concepts. I have also published some of my research. I am now a student in genetic counseling at the University of Michigan. I am excited to meet more students on Wyzant!

I majored in biology with honors in college, where I worked as a TA and peer tutor for many biology classes. I have also been tutoring high school biology for the last ten years. I am currently in a biology-related graduate program, and my research in genetics has been published in peer-reviewed journals.
Discrete Math

Discrete Math

I have tutored students in discrete math for the last four years. I have covered discrete math topics including as logic, probability, graph theory, and set theory. I have also helped students learn how to write clear and effective proofs.
Genetics

Genetics

I have been tutoring genetics for the last five years, and some of my students have learned the material so well they went on to become genetics tutors themselves! I have experience tutoring many fields of genetics, including general, molecular, human, bacterial, and evolutionary genetics. I worked in genetics research labs in and after college that resulted in my work being published. I am also currently in graduate school in a genetics field.
Geometry

Geometry

I have tutored math at all levels, from elementary and middle school to upper-level college classes. I aim to help students in high school geometry classes gain confidence in problem-solving and proofs. I have helped accelerated students and ones with gaps in their math background. I also majored in math in college!
Linear Algebra

Linear Algebra

I have tutored both linear and abstract algebra and have experience tutoring both applied and proof-based linear algebra classes. I have also taken upper level algebra courses as part of my math degree.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have been teaching middle and high schoolers prealgebra for nine years. I focus on understanding the material over memorization, and try to help students with what they will need in future classes. I have helped accelerated students and ones with gaps in their math background. I also majored in math in college!

Elise is AWESOME!!! She knows her stuff and it soooo patient!! She was wonderful to work with!

I contacted Elise during a very trying and emotional time. I was REALLY struggling with getting my work done because of the magnitude of the work and the complexity of the way the course was designed. Elise was wonderful! She helped me to review the work. She was patient and explained processes in layman's terms. She looked up key points to help in maneuvering through new software and she was very flexible with scheduling. I would POSITIVELY recommend her to ANYONE that needs a Statistics tutor. I would ABSOLUTELY work with her again!!!!

Very kind and helpful!

Elise always made sure I thoroughly knew the topics before moving on. I didn’t come prepared with much information, but she was knowledgeable on every topic that I brought up. She was also really good at explaining complex concepts simply. If you’re looking a statistics tutor I highly recommend reaching out to Elise!

Math and Science Tutor 📚

Great tutor and was very patient when we went over the material and I had questions. I would recommend Elise to anyone who needs help with chemistry!

Ashley, 1 lesson with Elise

Knowledgeable, patient and encouraging tutor! Knows AP Bio!

Elise made my son feel comfortable to ask all his questions. She was patient and encouraging. After a few sessions with Elise my son's confidence and grade both went up. She is the real deal, she knows AP Bio and how to help students feel they can understand it too.
