Let's review together for the AP Biology test on May 4th!!
I have over twenty years of experience teaching topics in biology in a wide range of academic levels, including Advanced Placement, biology for English Language Learners, and remedial levels.
I specialize in fun ways to learn the material including the use of analogies and connections to real life. We can create memory tools together so that the material will be personal to you.

Very kind and encouraging attitude
Our case is somewhat complicated: fresh immigrants, language problems, adaptation difficulties. Yet Gretchen accepted the responsibility and helped our daughter to get through the complications of new school program, terminology, understanding of AP Biology principles and approaches. Our daughter obviously enjoys the sessions, as Gretchen is very patient and has very kind encouraging attitude towards the student. What's equally important, Gretchen teaches in very clear and systematic fashion, it's easy to follow and understand. Great tutor!

Gretchen is an absolutely phenomenal tutor.
Gretchen is an absolutely phenomenal tutor. She was able to help inspire me in AP Biology, preparing me for the AP Test, while also ensuring that I was able to find a passion for the subject. From her amazing mnemonics to analogies, she made the content stick. She has a unique talent to break down complex topics to understandable components without oversimplifying. More than that though, however, she is an incredible person. She is funny, kind, and a joy to learn from. Thank you for everything you have done to support me and I hope that you have a fantastic summer!

Wonderful tutor for AP Bio
My daughter has been working with Gretchen once a week for several months and has greatly improved in her AP Biology studies. Gretchen is very familiar with the curriculum and very thorough in making sure my daughter understands the material. She is kind and funny and makes the material very accessible. I am very grateful we found her!

Great Teacher/Tutor
After just one session my daughter is confident that with Ms. Gretchen’s help, she will be successful in AP biology! She was patient, knowledgeable and approachable. She explained the content in a way that was easily understood. She even offered resources to follow up on content that was discussed. Thank you, Ms. Gretchen, we are glad to have found you!

Great tutor!
I had some trouble understanding various concepts in my Biology class, but Gretchen was very helpful in clarifying anything I did not understand. She provided visuals and analogies to further my understanding and tested what I had learned until I had fully grasped the concepts. She always made sure that I was understanding the material and not just memorizing it, and this helped me really learn the content. Overall, Gretchen helped me learn a subject that I found difficult in a fun and comprehensible way.

Gretchen C. was the best tutor I could ever had for my AP Biology exam. She is truly able to get her students to grasp the concept of topics in the simplest and most creative ways. Gretchen C. is a diligent, fun and very professional tutor. She is always there when I need another session or more time, and she was also willing to help me succeed in every way possible.

Very personable, committed tutor with excellent teaching skills
Gretchen made herself available on short notice and really helped my daughter understand the subject matter for her upcoming test. Her teaching style was patient with many visual cues and she sent illustrations at the end to use for studying.

Knowledgeable and Wonderful Tutor!
Mrs. Gretchen is a wonderful tutor! She is intelligent, patient, and very good at explaining concepts learnt in class. She helped my daughter gain the confidence in understanding this subject as well as improving her grades. Every lesson was filled with ideas and analogies that made her learn the chapter faster. With this learning technique she helped my daughter succeed, not only in her AP Biology class, but also the AP Exam. My daughter now has tremendous appreciation for this subject after her positive experience with Mrs. Gretchen, and would definitely recommend her to any future students.

Amazing Tutor
Gretchen was someone we contacted at the last minute (1 month before exam) for my daughters AP Biology exam. She was very gracious in getting her a spot and was very helpful in explaining things that my daughter had trouble understanding. She also explained a lot of the nuances with the AP Biology exam that assured my daughter. Gretchen is patient and extremely knowledgeable about Biology. My daughter said she loved how she gives real-life examples to complex questions to make it easy to understand.
