I am a passionate educator that truly cares about the quality of your academic journey. Having worked in higher education for close to 2 decades, I can say that the highlight of my career has been helping students meet their academic goals. Whether working one-on-one or in a group, there is nothing better than seeing students have lightbulb moments right in front of you.

My academic credentials include a Ph.D. in Zoology from Washington State University and a Bachelor of Science in Zoology from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I also have extensive experience in university and college teaching, postdoctoral research, and industry.

To help you meet your academic goals I will review course material with you, review journal articles and case studies with you, organize your notes into study guides, prepare practice questions, and review study and test-taking strategies. I look forward to being a part of your academic journey.

I have experience in course development and delivery for a broad range of STEM subjects and am very experienced at working with students from diverse academic backgrounds. I am adept at simplifying complex content and I am a very patient educator that will support you through every step of the learning process. I am available to tutor biology, anatomy, physiology, ecology, and zoology at every level.

I want the students I work with to feel a sense of accomplishment after every session. I would love to be a part of your academic journey. Please reach out to ask questions or schedule lessons.

Knowledgeable and patient tutor

Marisa is a wonderful tutor. She helped me with understanding energy production in the human body. She helped me with editing and wording for an assignment on physiological steps of energy production and how the body works as a system to create energy. I highly recommend her as a tutor.
