Hi! My name is Gillian, and I am a recent graduate from Yale University where I studied molecular, cellular, and developmental biology and anthropology. I will be attending medical school next year, and I am currently on a gap year completing a research fellowship. Prior to college, I decided to begin tutoring because I recognized how beneficial hands-on, individualized, and encouraging instruction could be for students. Throughout middle school, high school, and college, I have strived to deliver quality instruction in a variety of topics in order to diminish gaps in knowledge that may accumulate as a result of classroom instruction alone. I recognize that an engaging instructor is frequently key to my own success in academics and know that this translates to other students' experiences as well. I hope to provide this type of instruction to you!

I have previously tutored students of all ages (elementary school through college) and enjoy working with students in all stages of life and academics. I have specialized in math, the sciences (mainly biology, biochemistry, and chemistry), and English (including writing and grammar). But, I have also tutored Latin and have helped younger students with general homework instruction. I have a long track record of improving students' grades, knowledge base, and confidence in these subjects. I hope that my personalized instruction can be beneficial to you as I work one-on-one with a variety of instructional techniques and resources.

I am open to all opportunities, and I hope to meet with you to get started!

Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have tutored Algebra 2 for several years. My students have seen significant score increases on exams, and they have significant grade improvement.
Biology

Biology

I took AP biology in high school and scored a 5 on the exam. I also am majoring in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology. I am a TA for Yale’s introductory biology sequence which includes biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, genetics and development, and ecology and evolutionary biology.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I took AP chemistry in high school and received a 5 on the exam. I currently attend Yale University where I have taken three years of chemistry classes in everything from physical chemistry to biochemistry to organic chemistry. I additionally worked in chemistry lab, so I have firsthand experience with research techniques. I have also tutored high school and college-level chemistry extensively including AP chemistry, general chemistry, and organic chemistry. My students always find success and see grade improvements with additional instruction.
English

English

I took AP Lang and AP Lit in high school and scored a 5 on both exams. I have tutored the courses with these two exams extensively since graduating high school, and my students have all scored 4s or 5s on the exams. In addition, I tutor grammar, general reading comprehension, literature, and writing.
Grammar

Grammar

I have tutored grammar and writing for students of many levels. I grew up in a school with a strong grammar foundation which provided heavy instruction in English grammar and writing. I always received A's on grammar and writing assignments, graduating high school as valedictorian before attending Yale.
Latin

Latin

I took Latin for 11 years throughout elementary, middle, and high school and in college at Yale. This includes taking AP Latin, where I scored a 5 on the exam, and several translation courses in prose and poetry including Virgil, Ovid, Caesar, Tacitus, Livy, and Cicero, among others.
