Biology

Biology

As a biology tutor, my goal is to foster a deep understanding of the subject matter through active learning. I try to employ hands-on activities and experiments whenever possible to provide tangible demonstrations of abstract concepts. Drawing from my 4 years of graduate research experience, I've found that the most effective approach in teaching high school and undergraduate students intricate topics like cell biology, molecular biology, and genetics involves active demonstrations followed by a structured review. I firmly believe that igniting students' enthusiasm is paramount to life long learning. Being a science nerd, I am dedicated to empowering my students to navigate through challenging concepts until they experience that 'click' moment, propelling them towards a keen interest in practical applications and real-world examples. If you're finding biology challenging, don't worry! I'm here to lend a helping hand and guide you through the tricky parts of the course. Let's tackle those tough concepts together and make biology more understandable and enjoyable for you!
Genetics

Genetics

As a genetics tutor, I recognize the challenges of this subject. I customize my teaching to match each student's unique learning style. Together, we simplify complex concepts and apply our knowledge to deepen understanding and build confidence. I incorporate active learning techniques to make ideas tangible and relevant to the student's learning journey. With a strong academic interest in genetic and epigenetic modulation across the menstrual cycle, as well as practical experience gained from working in an epigenetic biotech company, I bring a wealth of knowledge and real-world insight to my tutoring sessions. I'm committed to sparking students' curiosity and enthusiasm, guiding them through challenging concepts until they experience that 'click' moment of understanding. If you're struggling with genetics and need support, don't hesitate to reach out. Together, we'll unravel the complexities of genetics and turn learning into an enjoyable journey.

Exceptional

Each session with Lily is something my son eagerly looks forward to, which speaks volumes about her ability to engage and inspire. I truly appreciate her dedication and the positive impact she's had on my son's educational journey.

Lily is fantastic!

My G9 son had been struggling with biology all year. After just one session with Lily, he began understanding complicated concepts he had struggled with for weeks. She was able to explain things in a simple yet engaging way, keeping him interested and stimulated. Highly recommend her!

The best tutor

Lily has truly been the best possible tutor. She explained and worked through neuroscience concepts with me in ways that clicked so that a subject I was failing became one that I excelled in. I highly recommend working with her!

My teenager approves!

After a long string of tutors, my son is very enthusiastic about Lily. She is fun and really explains things well. I'm sure every parent agrees that the best tutor is one that your child asks to see again!!! Thank you Lily!!

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Lily helped my daughter in getting nuances of AP Bio that helped her achieve her desired goals. Lily was flexible and accessible since high school students have lots going on at schools and after school. Lily is a great tutor who simplifies bio that students can understand better.

Kind, patient and knowledgeable

I’m a freshman in high school and Lily taught me Earth Science and I learned so much from her. She reviewed the information in a way that allowed me to really think about and understand the topic. She made sure to ask me questions so I can come up with the correct answers on my own. I also really appreciated her kindness and patience. I hope to meet with her on a weekly basis now.

Lily is awesome

I cannot express enough gratitude for the remarkable guidance and expertise provided by Lily, our tutor, during my son's first dissection of a fish. As we navigate the world of homeschooling, Lily's anatomy lessons have proven to be a true gem in our educational journey. Lily's ability to adapt to my son's unique learning style has been instrumental in fostering a productive and enjoyable learning environment.
