About Rebecca

Bio

I specialize in tutoring AP biology for high school students and biochemistry, genetics, and biology for college students. I love teaching science because I absolutely love science, especially biology. I think it's the coolest thing ever, and I try to make learning it fun by relating abstract concepts to things we can experience every day. In this way, I will help make the biological sciences accessible to help you retain the information.

I specialize in tutoring AP biology for high school students and biochemistry, genetics, and biology for college students. I love teaching science because I absolutely love science, especially biology. I think it's the coolest thing ever, and I try to make learning it fun by relating abstract concepts to things we can experience every day. In this way, I will help make the biological sciences accessible to help you retain the information.

I have tutored students at the high school, college, and graduate levels. As a high school biology teacher and a biological research scientist I have both a broad and deep understanding of science content and process as well as extensive training in the art of teaching. It is one thing to understand, but an entirely different thing to be able to make someone else understand, and I am able to do both.

I have six years of experience in biomedical research at Bucknell, Johns Hopkins Medical Institute, and Vanderbilt. Through conducting research, I have developed strong critical thinking skills and the ability for creative problem solving. Biology is not just about learning facts but about learning how to think independently and ask questions.

In addition to my research experience, I was a licensed teacher in biology and chemistry and taught AP biology and honors biology for three years. As the AP biology teacher, I helped my students achieve the highest pass rate and highest percentage of 4's and 5's in my county. My students also had above average growth on the TN State Biology End of Course exam.

I have a Master's of Science degree in biological sciences from Vanderbilt University and a bachelor's of science in cell biology/biochemistry from Bucknell University. I have six years of experience as a college teaching assistant for biology lab classes where I had a proven track record of helping my students succeed.

ACT Math

ACT Math

I taught an ACT prep class for math and science sections for two years, and I've tutored students in all sections consistently. I can help you develop your own personal strategy to maximize your time. We use general test taking strategies, but I also make sure that you know how to do all the math first.
ACT Science

ACT Science

I taught an ACT prep class for math and science sections for two years, and I've tutored students in all sections consistently. I can help you develop your own personal strategy to maximize your time and attack those science passages. The ACT science section is an exercise in reading and analyzing text and figures very quickly so time management and efficiency can be key. I also focus on graph reading and general science skills.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I absolutely love biochemistry! It is one of my favorite areas of science and I would love to help you with it. We can work on your problem sets and I can break down any concepts you are struggling with. I am a certified teacher in biology and chemistry and I taught AP and honors biology for the last 3 years. I also have experience tutoring and teaching at the college level. I was a cell biology/biochemistry major and I have a master's degree in biology from Vanderbilt. My undergraduate coursework focused specifically on biochemistry, and it is a passion of mine. I have also worked as a biomedical researcher at Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, and Bucknell University for a total of six years. I have an intimate understanding of biochemistry concepts as well as the techniques used in the study of biochemistry.
Biology

Biology

I absolutely love biology and getting to share it with others is such a great joy. I can work with you to help you learn the concepts in the way that you like to learn. Biology is all about making connections between ideas, and that's where a lot of students tend to struggle, but I have strategies that can address that. I am a licensed biology teacher and former research biologist. I have taught freshman biology honors (last year I had the highest growth in my department) and AP biology (last year I had the highest pass rate in my county). I was a cell biology/biochemistry major and I have a Master's degree in biological sciences from Vanderbilt University. As part of my course work I have taken classes in topics in every area of Biology. I have worked as a biomedical researcher at Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, and Bucknell University for a total of six years. I have an intimate understanding of biology concepts as well as the techniques used in the study of biology.
Genetics

Genetics

I would love to help you with your genetics problem sets and help you break down concepts you are struggling with. I am an experienced tutor and teacher at both the college and high school levels. I was a teaching assistant at Vanderbilt and Bucknell for eight semesters and I am a licensed teacher in biology and chemistry 6-12. I have a Master's degree in biological sciences from Vanderbilt University and a Bachelor of Science in cell biology/biochemistry from Bucknell University. As part of my course work I have taken classes in topics in every area of Biology. I have worked as a biomedical researcher at Vanderbilt, Johns Hopkins, and Bucknell University for a total of six years.

Queen Of Biochemisty

Rebecca is by far the best biochemistry tutor I've ever had. She does a really great job at explaining things to you in well formulated matter, as well as making sure you actually know you're information and what you're talking about and how certain concepts connect to another. She extremely patient and understanding if you don't understand the concept and she works with you till the end to make sure you get it. I highly recommend tutoring for biochemistry with Rebbeca, and if you're hesitant about doing online video tutoring like I was initially... DON'T BE. Rebbeca does a great job of writing everything out and showing the step by step process and if feels just like a face to face tutoring session!

Knowledgeable and insightful

Rebecca is extremely knowledgeable and knows how to make the hardest topic in biology understandable. My daughter is making A's in biology....largely in part to Rebecca! 😚

F, 4 lessons with Rebecca

Extremely knowledgeable in Biology, and GREAT at explaining

We were more than pleasantly surprised at how well a tutor (Rebecca!) was able to get our son to understand concepts in biology. She masters her subject and is able to explain about many topics extemporaneously and deeply. Mike "kind of got it" from his teacher and class materials, but Rebecca was able to explain things so efficiently and well that Mike is making breakthroughs in this challenging subject. We are delighted to have Rebecca to help, and know that she would be as helpful to your student. FIVE STARS!

Knowledgeable and patient

Rebecca is very patient in teaching my son AP. She breaks down the complex material so that it is easy to understand and makes sure that he knows the lesson before moving forward. I would definitely recommend her.

Ellen, 25 lessons with Rebecca

Very knowledgeable tutor

My son really enjoys working with Rebecca. He finds her extremely knowledgeable and helpful for his AP Biology course. I highly recommend her for help in the course and final exam.

Gina, 12 lessons with Rebecca

Great tutor extremely knowledgeable

We are absolutely thrilled to have found Rebecca! She has been nothing short of amazing in helping my daughter with her AP Bio class. Her teaching style is clear and concise, making complex concepts easy to understand. In just one lesson, my daughter’s grades went from a C to a B, and now she’s proudly holding an A in her class! Rebecca’s extensive knowledge shines through, but it’s her accommodating nature that truly sets her apart. She’s always there to lend a hand whenever we need support. My daughter genuinely enjoys every session with her, and the positive impact Rebecca has made on her learning journey is remarkable. We couldn't be happier!

Knowledgable and helpful tutor.

Rebecca helped me understand the basic topics required for the beginning of the unit my class was on. She was very helpful in note-taking and her notes proved very helpful on my recent quiz.

Charlotte, 6 lessons with Rebecca

Excellent tutor

Rebecca has helped my daughter immensely to understand the concepts in AP biology. She is very patient and explains things very well. My daughter commented she is one of the best teachers she ever had.

Janice (jennifer), 13 lessons with Rebecca

Knowledgeable and helpful

Rebecca helped my 16 year old daughter already in just one session - I really appreciated that she got a quick overview of how she was doing in AP Biology so far this school year, then dove into concepts they were working on this week in class. With a little additional explanation from Rebecca, my daughter understood noticeably more in the area they were studying in their session. We will definitely be scheduling more with her.
