About Lauren

Bio

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a Biology, Chemistry and Human Anatomy & Physiology teacher. I am PA level II certified in secondary education, specifically for Biology (yes, I know the Keystone exam) and Chemistry and am almost into my 10th year of teaching. I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Denison University (Granville, OH) as well as a Masters of (Multicultural) Education from Eastern University.

Hello! My name is Lauren and I am a Biology, Chemistry and Human Anatomy & Physiology teacher. I am PA level II certified in secondary education, specifically for Biology (yes, I know the Keystone exam) and Chemistry and am almost into my 10th year of teaching. I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Biology with a minor in Chemistry from Denison University (Granville, OH) as well as a Masters of (Multicultural) Education from Eastern University.

Teaching wasn't my first career: Prior to teaching, I spent over a decade in the field of medical technology (blood platelets) educating diverse adult learners and managing a large sales territory within the U.S. and Canada. I have a passion for teaching the sciences to all ages and enjoy making lesson material both creative and interesting for each of my students.

For my high school students: I was Athlete of the Year my senior year (cross country/track/swimming), graduated as a high honor student and attended a top University that continues to remain high in national rankings. I completely understand the challenges that come with dedicating one's time to both academics and sports!

For my college & career bound students: I was a Biology Major/Chemistry minor (yes, I even took Organic chemistry!) and am also a coach on presentations and interviews (whether college or career). During undergrad, I was a rush counselor for my sorority and an 11-time All American for Women's Varsity Swimming. The most important thing that I learned was how to manage my time between school, sports and then everything else. Sometimes, you just need a different explanation of the material (other than your professor) and/or a more strategic way to make the most out of your classroom time so that you can move on and enjoy all of the other aspects of life.

The goal is to determine what material you need assistance with and what learning strategies you can develop under my wing so that you can proceed with your coursework, independently. I look forward to meeting you!

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

If you need an algebra 1 tutor and you fear your child may also struggle in the sciences, or if you need a science tutor and recognize that maybe it is the math portion of the science that is affecting your child's grade, then you have found a tutor who can work with your child in both subjects!
Anatomy

Anatomy

I taught a semester of 12th grade Human Anatomy & Physiology and I completed an animal physiology course that counted towards my biology major.
Biology

Biology

I am a Biology Major/Chemistry Minor with a passion for the sciences. In addition, I am recently certified to teach secondary science (Biology and Chemistry) in the state of PA. Last, my Masters of Education Degree has a multicultural focus; this means that I am prepared to meet the educational demands of a diverse group of learners.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I am currently certified to teach Chemistry for grades 7-12 in the state of Pennsylvania. Although a chemistry minor through my undergraduate degree, I like to point out to my students that I found success in chemistry even though I did not plan to pursue a career in chemistry (and they can too!). I have also found that students who struggle in certain chemistry topics may also find math difficult as well (in particular, Algebra). It is a pleasure to work with students on difficult chemistry topics and watch them master what was once a learning obstacle!
Physiology

Physiology

I taught a semester of 12th grade physiology and completed courses in anatomy and physiology in order to fulfill the requirements to become a B.S. Biology major.

Grade went from failing to a solid B!

"She explains things in a way that I get it", explained by my daughter after her last tutoring session. Before starting tutoring, she failed a quiz. The quiz she took after starting tutoring with Lauren was an "A"! I would highly recommend her!

Amazing and Specific

Lauren S. is amazing. I reached out to her for my 8th grade daughter in pure panic about Chemistry class. Lauren S. was able to meet and work with her on the exact problems she was having. While all the problems are not solved, she has managed to help her gain confidence and clear up so many misconceptions in just two short sessions. Don't hesitate to reach out to Lauren. You won't regret it.

Amazing!

Lauren is an amazing educator. She navigated through the complete study guide with my son. My son was even impressed with how well they worked together. Lauren was thorough and covered all necessary topics. I highly recommend Lauren.

Amazing tutor!

Lauren helped me with my 6 week summer Chemistry 100 class. Not only was she kind and patient, she was incredibly knowledgeable on everything we worked on. She helped me pass this class after multiple failed attempts and was so supportive my whole semester! 5 stars!!

Great teacher - patient and supportive tutor

Lauren really helped my daughter through this year's virtual chemistry class. She structures her lessons and content, making the concepts and problems easy to understand. She really listens to kids to understand and work through what frustrates them, helping boost their confidence. My daughter, who was very reluctant to do any kind of tutoring at first, looks forward to her sessions.

Seriously the best tutor somebody could hire for anatomy!!

Lauren put her heart and soul into her students. Her knowledge shines through the dark of a very difficult class. I had the WORST teacher for anatomy and she helped me almost every day to ensure that I got an A in the class! She is so knowing and loves to prepare before her sessions with you as she likes to know what is up with the class and helps you as much as possible. I cannot recommend Lauren enough. Her energy and charisma is amazing to be around. Not only is she an amazing tutor she helps you fully understand the material! She used relatable analogies and makes sure you know the material through and through. I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for me. Everybody needs lauren as a tutor through anatomy or chemisty!! THank you lauren!!!!!!

Alexa- AP Biology

I asked my granddaughter how her tutoring went. In a typical teenage response she said “ good”. In addition, she told me she wants to continue being tutored by Lauren. Accordingly , I think she will continue with Lauren the entire semester. On a personal note , I want to thank Lauren for responding on very short notice and bring so accommodating .
