I am a science educator with nearly two decades of teaching experience, and I specialize in helping students become more confident, capable, and successful in their science courses. Before becoming an educator, I worked in real-world science settings, which allows me to bring practical examples and meaningful applications into my instruction.
I tutor students in Chemistry, Biology, Environmental Science, and general high school science skills. Whether you are struggling with content, feeling overwhelmed, or hoping to improve performance, I provide patient, structured, and individualized support that meets you where you are.
In addition to my teaching and field experience, I hold a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction, which helps me break down challenging concepts in ways that make sense for different types of learners.
One of my strengths as a tutor is supporting students who feel anxious or discouraged about science. I know how confusing the subject can feel, and I work to clarify misconceptions, build foundational skills, and help students become more independent thinkers. My sessions balance content support with problem-solving strategies so you make meaningful, lasting progress.
If you need help understanding the material, building confidence, or improving grades, I would be happy to support you.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

I have over 18 years of experience teaching and tutoring biology at the high school level, with additional experience supporting students in introductory college biology. I help students understand core biological concepts such as cellular processes, genetics, and systems interactions rather than relying on rote memorization. My approach emphasizes making connections between ideas and applying knowledge to new questions. This helps students build confidence and perform better on exams and labs.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have over 18 years of experience teaching high school chemistry and supporting students in general and college-level chemistry courses. I specialize in helping students build a strong conceptual understanding, develop effective problem-solving strategies, and prepare confidently for exams. I’m especially experienced with topics covered in and introductory chemistry class, including stoichiometry, atomic structure, bonding, gas laws, and reaction chemistry. My approach focuses on helping students understand why chemistry works, not just how to get the right answer, so they can keep up with fast-paced courses and perform better on tests.
