Hey! I'm Lauren, an energetic yet patient tutor with a great personality. I have a bachelors degree in Biology. I have been a secondary science teacher for the past 7 years. I have a current and valid teaching license from the state of SC. Classes mainly taught include Biology I, Biology II and AP Biology. I am AP Biology certified.

I am an experienced tutor with success... past students have significantly improved their confidence and grade just after a few sessions with me. Science can be challenging as it is a lot of information, but I know what it takes to overcome the challenge, successfully learn, and enjoy the material!

I offer several strategies and resources with my teaching/tutoring, as every student is a unique and individual learner. Strategies and resources include power point reviews, study guides, practice quizzes/tests, graphic organizers, and general studying advice. I also give the student a varied approach to difficult concepts - I rephrase the material in a way that they can easily understand it.

I offer my tutoring initially at a public place (school library, coffee shop, etc.) that is close and convenient for you. I also am available for online tutoring. Feel free to message me with any questions! I look forward to helping you succeed in Biology.

I have my bachelors in biology. I have been a secondary science teacher for the past 7 years. I have a current and valid teaching license for SC. Classes taught include Biology I, Biology II and AP Biology. I am AP Biology certified.
Botany

Botany

I believe I am a qualified Botany tutor for many reasons. I have my Bachelors degree in Biology. Several of the general Biology classes I had to take in college included terms and knowledge pertaining to Botany. During college, I took two courses especially connected to Botany: Plant Taxonomy and Advanced Plant Taxonomy. Both classes I received an "A". Of all the different fields of Biology, Botany and Plant Taxonomy are my favorite and thus, the areas I know most about and enjoy. I have several study methods dealing with Botany which would help a student. Study methods include textbooks, worksheets, charts, and practice quizzes/tests. Topics covered in a typical Botany class in which I am knowledgeable in include: The Evolution of Plants, Nonvascular Plants vs. Vascular Plants, Monocots vs. Dicots, Plant structures and their specific functions (including the flower structure of Angiosperms), The 3 Tissue Systems of Plants (Dermal Tissue, Ground Tissue, and Vascular Tissue), Plant Reproduction, Germination process, Symbiotic Relationships with Plants, Plant Hormones, Environmental Responses, Plant Nutrition, and last but not least... Photosynthesis!

Helpful, professional AP Biology Tutor

Lauren is very patient, knowledgeable and explains very clearly. My daughter has found her extremely helpful and keeps requesting more lessons as Lauren really knows her AP Biology curriculum. Lauren is an excellent teacher, we are lucky to have found her.

GREAT TUTOR!

I am so happy I found Lauren to help my student in AP Bio. She is kind, patient and knowledgeable. My kid feels more confident in the material after each lesson. Thank you so much!

Happy and successful student

Lauren has been supporting my son with pre-IB biology class for several months now. She provides better, more easily digestible instructions than the regular school teacher, goes over the materials, helps prepare for test, expands my son’s knowledge beyond what is covered in the curriculum, motivates him to strive for better results and solidifies his passion for biology. She’s easy going and flexible to respond to the needs of his schedule. I can’t say enough good things about Lauren.
