I am very happy with our experience so far with Varsity Tutors. They matched my daughter with reading specialist Mary and she is wonderful! My 10 year old daughter feels happy after her sessions and believes her tutor has already helped her.

Certified Tutor

Teaching is a true passion for me! Having earned a BS and MS in Biological Sciences, I have 5+ years of teaching experience; serving students from pre-kindergarten to the collegiate level. I have taught in both formal and informal settings, including summer STEM enrichment camps, teaching assistantships, and community science outreach programs. In addition, I have over five years of formal research training in the areas of neurobiology, cell and molecular biology, which I use to help students connect complex scientific concepts to real life application.

I am currently available for both in-person and online tutoring, in high school biology, AP biology, and college level Biology courses. Available tutoring times are Mon-Fri 6-9 pm. However, I can offer more flexible hours upon individual requests.
