Patient, Engaging STEM Tutor with 7+ Years’ Experience

Clarnisha Y.

I am a dedicated science and math tutor with over three years of experience helping students strengthen their skills and build confidence in STEM subjects. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering with a minor in Chemistry from Missouri University of Science and Technology, and I have several years of formal teaching and tutoring experience across middle school, high school, and early college levels. My background in STEM gives me a strong foundation for breaking down complex concepts into clear, relatable explanations that make learning both manageable and enjoyable.

I have taught in one-on-one, small-group, and online environments through platforms such as Varsity Tutors and Huntington Learning Center. I have experience preparing students for algebra courses, chemistry classes, STEM exams, and standardized tests, including SAT Math and AP-level support. I have over seven years of experience tutoring high school and early college students in Calculus, including limits, derivatives, integrals, and applications. My teaching approach is highly student-centered: I adjust my pace, examples, and explanations to match each learner’s style, and I use interactive tools like digital whiteboards and a stylus to visually walk through problems step-by-step.

I believe every student can succeed with the right support, patience, and encouragement. My goal is to create a space where students feel comfortable asking questions, exploring unfamiliar topics, and developing real confidence in their abilities. Whether a student needs help improving grades, preparing for a test, or filling in skill gaps, I am committed to guiding them with clarity, positivity, and a strong focus on long-term understanding.
