Harvard-Trained STEM Tutor | Chemistry, Biology & Test Prep

Lindsay P.

I am a Harvard graduate with a degree in Integrative Biology and extensive experience teaching and mentoring students in chemistry, biology, and related STEM subjects. During my time at Harvard, I served as a Teaching Fellow and Head Teaching Fellow in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, where I led small-group sessions, developed course materials, and supported students through challenging scientific concepts. I have been recognized with the Certificate of Excellence in Teaching for my work supporting student learning and engagement.

In addition to my classroom teaching experience, I have worked as a private tutor supporting middle school, high school, and college students in subjects including chemistry, biology, algebra, and standardized test preparation. I have mentored students in both one-on-one and small group settings, helping them build confidence, strengthen study habits, and improve academic performance. My background in scientific research has also given me strong problem-solving skills, which I bring into each session to help students understand not just how to solve problems, but why concepts work the way they do.

My teaching style focuses on clarity, patience, and adaptability. I tailor each lesson to the individual student’s needs, whether they are preparing for exams, working through homework, or building foundational knowledge. I aim to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing confidence in their abilities. I have worked with students across a wide range of academic levels, from foundational coursework to advanced science classes, and I am committed to helping each student reach their full potential.
