Biomedical Sciences PhD Student | STEM Tutor

Samantha G.

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I’m a Biomedical Sciences PhD student at The Ohio State University with a B.S. in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Penn State University’s Schreyer Honors College, where I graduated cum laude. My academic and research experience has given me a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, and mathematics. I currently conduct biomedical research, where I use these subjects every day giving me the unique position to teach students how to use classroom concepts in the real-world.

I work with students in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Genetics, and Microbiology. Whether a student is struggling with a difficult concept, preparing for an upcoming exam, or simply looking to strengthen their skills, I tailor each session to their individual needs and learning style. My goal is not simply to help students get the right answer, but to help them understand the reasoning behind it so they can approach similar problems independently and confidently.

My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and focused on breaking complex topics into manageable steps. I encourage students to ask questions, work through problems with me, and build the confidence to tackle challenging material on their own. I especially enjoy helping students who may feel that they are “not a math or science person” discover that they are capable of understanding these subjects. I would love the opportunity to help your student strengthen their skills, improve their confidence, and reach their academic goals! I hope to inspire the next generation of STEM students, showing them that math and science can be both accessible and exciting. I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your academic goals!
