I help students make biology, science, and test prep feel clearer, more organized, and less overwhelming. I earned my BS and PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where my work focused on metabolism, physiology, molecular biology, and the gut microbiome. I now work as a scientist in Madison and enjoy helping students with AP Biology, college biology, biochemistry, general science coursework, ACT science prep, research projects, and related life science topics.
My teaching and tutoring experience includes Wyzant, in-person tutoring, and teaching college biology courses, along with mentoring high school students, college students, and adult learners. I have helped students review class material, prepare for exams, improve study strategies, work through practice questions, understand scientific writing, plan research projects, interpret data, and build confidence in challenging subjects.
My tutoring style is calm, structured, and practical. I start by identifying what feels confusing, then break the topic into smaller pieces, connect it to the bigger picture, and apply it to homework, practice questions, exams, research projects, or writing assignments. My goal is for students to leave each session with more confidence and a clearer way to think through the material on their own.
