If you're looking for a tutor who can help you actually understand the material and not just get through the homework, you've come to the right place. I hold a Master of Science in Biology and a Spanish minor, and I have nearly 20 years of experience teaching and tutoring in Chemistry, Math, Physics, Spanish, and SAT/ACT prep. My background also includes published research and prior experience teaching Chemistry at the private high school level. Whether you're a middle schooler hitting your first wall in algebra or a college student working through organic chemistry, I've worked with learners at all those stages and know how to meet you where you are.
My approach is built around understanding the "why" behind concepts, not memorizing steps. In our sessions, I'll work to figure out exactly where the confusion starts and address it directly, using examples and guided practice that fit how you think. I've spent most of my career working one-on-one or in small groups, which means I'm used to adapting my explanations in real time based on how you're responding and not delivering a rehearsed lesson and moving on. Each session has a clear goal, and I check in throughout to make sure things are clicking before we build on them.
I especially enjoy working with students who feel behind, overwhelmed, or convinced that they're just not a math person or science person or language person. That kind of discouragement usually has a fixable root cause, and finding it is one of my favorite parts of the job. My sessions are structured and purposeful, but also low-pressure. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions and trying things out without worrying about looking lost. The goal is skills and confidence that hold up long after our sessions end.
