Rhea

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

Jeffrey

Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Matthew

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions

Students often find cell structure and function challenging—understanding the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, and what each organelle actually does, requires both memorization and spatial reasoning. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are also common pain points because they involve abstract chemical processes that don't have obvious real-world parallels students can see. Additionally, taxonomy and classification systems can feel overwhelming due to the number of categories to remember, and genetics concepts like dominant/recessive traits and Punnett squares require logical thinking that doesn't come naturally to everyone. A tutor can break these down into digestible pieces and use visuals or analogies to make the abstract concrete.

Beyond just explaining concepts, a tutor can help you understand *why* you're doing each step of an experiment and how to interpret results rather than just following a procedure. Many students struggle with designing controlled experiments, identifying variables, or understanding why a hypothesis wasn't supported—these are critical thinking skills that improve with guided practice. A tutor can also help you prepare for lab practicals by reviewing proper technique, safety protocols, and how to analyze data meaningfully, which strengthens both your experimental skills and your understanding of the underlying biology.

Rather than drilling vocabulary lists, effective tutoring focuses on *why* structures exist and *how* they work together—for example, understanding that mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell because they break down glucose to release energy, not just memorizing the fact. Tutors use concept mapping, real-world examples, and asking "why" questions to build connections between ideas, so you retain information longer and can apply it to new problems. This approach makes studying less tedious and helps you actually understand biology rather than just passing a test, which makes harder topics later (like genetics or evolution) much easier to grasp.

Tutors use diagrams, models, animations, and even hands-on activities to make invisible structures visible—drawing out the parts of a cell and labeling what each does, or using physical models to show how DNA replicates. For processes like photosynthesis or protein synthesis, breaking them into step-by-step visuals helps you track what's happening at each stage instead of feeling overwhelmed by the whole process. Many students also benefit from learning to draw and label these structures themselves, which strengthens both visual memory and deeper understanding of how components fit together.

Tutors can identify exactly where gaps exist—whether it's basic cell structure, understanding atoms and molecules, or how to read a diagram—and fill those in before moving forward. Trying to learn photosynthesis when you don't fully understand cell membranes or ATP will only create more confusion, so a tutor works backward to shore up weak foundations. Once those building blocks are solid, more complex topics become much more manageable, and you'll feel more confident in class discussions and assessments.

A strong tutor teaches you how to think like a scientist—asking testable questions, designing fair experiments, interpreting data critically, and revising ideas based on evidence. These skills show up in reading comprehension questions ("What does this data suggest?"), essay prompts, and real lab work, so developing them makes you stronger across all science classes. By practicing scientific reasoning with a tutor, you learn to approach unfamiliar problems methodically rather than just memorizing answers, which prepares you for high school biology and beyond.

Rather than cramming vocabulary the night before, tutors help you build understanding throughout the unit so studying becomes review and practice. Test prep sessions focus on identifying weak spots, practicing with past tests or similar questions, and learning how to read and answer different question types—multiple choice, short answer, and diagram labeling each require slightly different strategies. Tutors also help you prepare for practical exams by reviewing lab procedures, specimen identification, and how to explain your reasoning, so you feel ready for any format your teacher uses.

Look for tutors with a background in biology or life sciences, ideally with experience teaching or tutoring middle school students specifically—they understand how 7th graders think and what concepts tend to confuse them. Strong tutors can explain complex ideas simply without oversimplifying, use visuals and analogies effectively, and ask probing questions to check your understanding rather than just lecturing. They should also be comfortable with lab concepts and scientific method, not just textbook content, so they can help you develop real scientific thinking skills alongside content knowledge.
