Hi! I'm Mary Grace, a Biomedical Sciences graduate with a passion for helping students gain confidence in science. During college, I served as a General Chemistry Peer Pod Leader, where I facilitated weekly review sessions for introductory chemistry students and guided them through challenging concepts and problem sets. I also worked one-on-one with students in general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and biology, tailoring each lesson to their individual learning style and goals. Throughout these experiences, I realized that many students don't struggle because they aren't capable; they struggle because they haven't yet found an explanation that truly clicks. That's what I enjoy most about tutoring: helping students make connections, build confidence, and discover that difficult subjects can become manageable with the right guidance.
My teaching philosophy is that understanding how a student thinks is just as important as understanding the material itself. Rather than simply giving answers, I encourage students to explain their reasoning because identifying where confusion begins often reveals the best path forward. From there, I break complex concepts into manageable pieces and adapt my approach to fit each student's needs.
Outside of tutoring, I work as both a medical assistant and an EMT, experiences that allow me to connect many of the scientific concepts I teach to real-world medicine and provide practical examples whenever possible. I'm currently applying to medical school, so I also enjoy mentoring students interested in the pre-med path and am happy to answer questions about coursework, study strategies, balancing athletics and academics, or preparing for a career in healthcare. Whether you're preparing for an exam, working through homework, or hoping to strengthen your understanding of science, my goal is to help you leave each session feeling more confident, capable, and prepared to succeed.
