About Chiara

Bio

Hi, I’m Chiara! I’m a biology and genetics tutor with an M.S. in Human Genetics, a dual undergraduate degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (summa cum laude), and over four years of teaching and tutoring experience, along with eight years in biology-focused healthcare and research.

Hi, I’m Chiara! I’m a biology and genetics tutor with an M.S. in Human Genetics, a dual undergraduate degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (summa cum laude), and over four years of teaching and tutoring experience, along with eight years in biology-focused healthcare and research.

I specialize in working with AP Biology students, with a strong focus on test-taking strategy and FRQ approach. Many students understand the material but lose points on the exam due to how they interpret questions and structure their answers. I help students break down prompts, use precise biological language, and clearly communicate their reasoning to maximize points.

In addition to AP Bio, I work with IB Biology (HL and SL), college-level biology and genetics, molecular and cell biology, and evolution. I support students in challenging topics such as gene expression, inheritance patterns, and biochemical pathways, while also helping them apply concepts effectively on exams.

My teaching style is structured, clear, and encouraging. I focus on building true understanding while also helping students develop strategies for approaching difficult questions with confidence.

Whether you’re preparing for the AP exam, a cumulative final, or a challenging course, I’m here to help you feel confident and fully prepared.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology as well as Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and a Master’s degree in Human Genetics. I have approximately four years of teaching experience, during which I have worked with students across a range of levels, specializing in biology majors and pre-health professional students. I focus on making learning engaging and connecting concepts to real-world examples, helping students develop both conceptual understanding and confidence. My approach is flexible and tailored to each student’s goals, whether preparing for college courses, exams, or building a deeper mastery of biology.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I have four years of tutoring experience, working with both high school and college students. I specialize in making learning engaging and connecting concepts to real-world examples, helping students see the relevance of chemistry in pre-health fields. I focus on building conceptual understanding, problem-solving skills, and confidence, tailoring each session to the student’s individual learning style and goals.
Genetics

Genetics

I am a professional genetic counselor with a Master’s degree in Human Genetics, focusing on counseling for genetic conditions. I have four years of teaching and tutoring experience, specializing in biology majors, pre-health, and genetics-focused students. I also have six months of experience as a practicing genetic counselor and two years working in a genetics lab at the National Institutes of Health, giving me hands-on expertise in interpreting genetic testing and understanding laboratory applications. My approach emphasizes making learning engaging, connecting concepts to real-world examples, and building both conceptual understanding and confidence, with sessions tailored to each student’s goals, whether preparing for college courses, exams, or deeper mastery of genetics.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Chiara was responsive, knowledgable and organized. My daughter felt like she did a great job at explaining the content in a way that she could understand. I would recommend Chiara without reservation.

Great AP Bio tutor - highly recommend!

Chiara helped my son Lev prepare for the AP Biology exam. She is very knowledgeable about the subject, well prepared for the lessons, and explains material clearly. We are very happy we found Chiara on Wyzant and recommend her very highly.

Excellent tutor for our needs

If you are in need of a biology tutor, then Chiara is a fantastic choice! She has helped my son prepare for the AP Biology exam by designing a study plan, filling in the gaps in his knowledge, giving him test-taking strategies, and providing resources for practice and review. Moreover, she has gone out of her way to be accommodating to our schedule during our busy soccer season, which we greatly appreciate. We are very lucky to have found such a skilled, patient, and flexible tutor. My son is feeling a lot more confident as we go into exam day. I think he is also more receptive now to having a private tutor if needed in the future, because his first experience with one has been so positive. I would very highly recommend Chiara for any of your tutoring needs!
