Biology Graduate and Experienced Science Tutor

Caitlin G.

Hello! My name is Caitlin, and I'm excited to help you reach your academic goals. I recently graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and am currently completing my second bachelor's degree in Public Health, which I will finish in December 2026 before attending medical school to pursue my dream of becoming a pediatrician. As a former NCAA Division I cross country and track student-athlete, I learned the value of hard work, discipline, patience, and perseverance - qualities that I bring into every tutoring session. I understand that science and math can sometimes feel overwhelming, but I enjoy breaking complex topics into simple, manageable steps so students can build confidence while truly understanding the material.
My teaching experience includes serving as a Teaching Assistant for an undergraduate ecology laboratory, where I guided college students through laboratory exercises, answered questions, and reinforced classroom concepts. I have also mentored middle school students through a local Middle School, giving me experience working with students of different ages and learning styles. Whether we're reviewing homework, preparing for an exam, or strengthening foundational skills, I tailor every lesson to each student's individual needs and learning pace.
My goal is to create a supportive, encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I believe the best learning happens when students understand why something works rather than simply memorizing facts. I want every student to leave our sessions feeling more confident, more independent, and better prepared to succeed not only in their current class but in future courses as well. I look forward to helping you achieve your goals and making learning an enjoyable experience!
