Experienced Tutor|Cornell Biology Graduate|Temple Podiatry Student

Julia Z.

Hi! My name is Julia, and I am currently a graduate student in podiatric medicine at Temple University. I graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a concentration in Animal Physiology. During and after college, I gained hands-on experience in scientific research, further strengthening my understanding of the material I now tutor. Alongside this, I was actively involved in teaching and mentorship at Cornell, serving as a teaching assistant for undergraduate physiology and histology courses and volunteering in a freshman mentoring program.

I have over four years of tutoring experience and have worked with middle school, high school, and college students in a variety of learning environments. Most of my tutoring has been one-on-one, though I have also worked with small groups and taught full classes of approximately 20 students in my role as a teaching assistant. My experience includes private tutoring, tutoring through a company, and academic support through my undergraduate institution. I have helped students with homework, exam preparation, and long-term understanding of challenging coursework.

As a tutor, I focus on helping students truly understand concepts rather than relying on memorization alone. I am patient, organized, and enjoy breaking down complex material into manageable pieces. I aim to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and gaining confidence in their abilities. I am happy to answer any questions before scheduling a session and would love the opportunity to work together to support your academic goals.
