Friendly STEM & SAT Tutor with Biomedical Engineering Background

Olivia B.

Hi, I’m Olivia!

I recently graduated from Case Western Reserve University with a degree in Biomedical Engineering and a background in business. After spending years working through difficult STEM classes, problem sets, and standardized testing myself, I wanted to start helping students who are going through the same thing now.

I tutor SAT Math, SAT Reading and Writing, Algebra, Calculus, Biology, Chemistry, and other STEM subjects. I know how frustrating it can feel when a teacher explains something five different ways and it still somehow makes no sense. A lot of the time students are not “bad” at math or science, they just have not had someone explain it in a way that actually clicks for them yet.

My tutoring style is very personalized and conversational. Before jumping into re-teaching a topic, I like to figure out where the confusion actually started. Once we find that, things usually become much less overwhelming. I try to break concepts down into simple steps and explain things in a way that feels approachable instead of overly technical or intimidating.

I also help students with test-taking strategies, study habits, organization, and managing stress around school and exams. Especially with the SAT, confidence and strategy matter just as much as knowing the content itself.

My goal is not just to help students raise grades or test scores, but to help them feel more comfortable and capable in subjects that may have felt discouraging before.

I offer both online tutoring and in-person sessions around Austin. If your student needs support with a difficult class, SAT prep, or just wants someone patient to work through problems with, I’d love to help!
