Hi, all!

My name is Stephanie and I love being a tutor. I enjoy the excitement of watching students build confidence as they solve problems and understand concepts that were formerly difficult for them to understand.

I graduated from Princeton University in 2019 with a Bachelor's in Molecular Biology. During my time at Princeton, I worked as head study group tutor for general chemistry and molecular biology at the on-campus tutoring center. I primarily use my former experiences to teach my current students, which has allowed me to tutor to a variety of types of learners.

I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2023 with a Master's in Public Health, specializing in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. Currently, I am a second-year medical student at UTHSCSA Long School of Medicine with an interest in infectious diseases.

My top subjects include Epidemiology, Biology, General Chemistry, and SAT/ACT Prep. I have a strong science background stemming from my college curricula and college consulting background and I am sincerely passionate about all of these subjects.

I look forward to meeting you all!

Geometry

Geometry

My approach to tutoring mathematics, especially geometry, relies more on tutee application, mostly doing practice exercises to build confidence and familiarity with the subject material, as opposed to mere tutor instruction. I've found this technique especially helpful and one of the common factors between a lot of the geometry tutors that I have seen and admired.

Knowledgeable and amazing

Stephanie is an amazing tutor. She knows the subject matter very well. Her ways of explaining things makes what appears to be difficult easy to grasp. She is patient and makes sure everything she teaches is well grasped. I truly enjoyed the session I had with her and Will contue to have more tutorial sessions with her!

Phenomenal Tutor!

My experience with Stephanie was beyond my expectations. She was concise and explained concepts in a way that I could understand them clearly. A very great help for understanding Epi!

Superb tutor

My daughter had her first session in Algebra 1 and loved how Stephanie broke down the concepts in order for her to get a better understanding and loved how thorough she was. In fact, the next day in class my daughter was able to solve a problem and actually got it correct. The math teacher even shouted her out which made her happy. My daughter definitely gave Stephanie credit due to the session. Wish we would’ve reached out to her sooner. Looking forward to next session with her. :D

Great Tutor

Stephanie is very patient and always helps my 9th grade daughter get back on track with her Honors Chemistry class. We appreciate having her. She is flexible and available whenever my daughter gets into a tight spot with understanding what was taught in class. She reinforces and this helps my daughter build her confidence on the topic.
