I am a graduate from University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) with a degree in Biology. I am currently pursuing my Doctoral of Dental Medicine degree from Harvard School of Dental Medicine (HSDM). During my time at UMBC, I served as a teaching assistant in chemistry and biology classes ranging from introductory biology to more advanced courses that I had previously taken. I also served as a tutor in my time at UMBC a wide variety of subjects in the science categories. In my time at HSDM, I have served as a tutor for Mission Crimson, where I was paired one-on-one with a 5th grader whom I helped with reading, math, and English skills in preparation for a standardized exam. I enjoy all subjects that I tutor, and I am very passionate about teaching and helping others think critically about ways to approach problems. I am passionate about helping others improve their performance, I am interested in strategies the tutee has previously used, and I am interested in other strategies the tutee is willing to try. In my spare time I enjoy listening to music, bird watching, and hiking with friends.

I am a Mathematics student at UMBC, graduating fall of 2025. My passion for tutoring stems from a love of learning and a desire to help students develop confidence in their abilities and perform well in class assignments and exams. With experience tutoring in mathematics, physics, and data analysis, I focus on making complex topics more approachable and engaging. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering independent learning by emphasizing conceptual understanding and structured problem-solving. I guide students through step-by-step methods for tackling different types of problems, ensuring they have a clear blueprint to follow even beyond our sessions. My goal is to equip students with critical thinking skills and effective strategies that allow them to complete any type of problem with a high efficiency on their own.
I am a chemist currently obtaining my PhD in Physical Chemistry at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I obtained two Bachelors of Science at the University of New Haven in Chemistry and Forensic Science, during which time I worked as an undergraduate peer tutor. I am passionate about helping students expand their chemistry knowledge and develop the logical skills which are vital as future members of the scientific community. I am currently tutoring general and organic chemistry.
Hello! My name is Nathaniel Jones, and I am your new tutor! Available to teach you all you need to know about geography and music.
I am a graduate of University of Maryland, Baltimore County and Bowie State University. I received my B.A. in English at UMBC and my master's degree in Public Administration at BSU. I have tutored and helped students for a few years in the past, and I love watching them succeed in academics. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, literature, and writing. I believe education is very important, and I want to help as many people as I can so they can do well in school and accomplish their goals.
Hello, I'm Francis Okorie, and I am excited to help students with their studying and planning future lessons. I am a college senior majoring in mechanical engineering and hope to become an instructor/professor in the future.
I am certified to teach ESL in New York State (K-12) and received my Masters in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) through Fordham University. As a NYC Public School teacher for 6 years, and as a private tutor in South Korea, I have experience instructing elementary, middle school, and high school students, as well as adults, to reach their academic goals. Additionally, I have taught test preparation for the SAT, PSAT, SHSAT, NYS ELA Regents, NYSESLAT exams, and more.I specialize in increasing the literacy skills of all learners through vocabulary building, step-by-step approaches and inquiry. I use direct teaching, video, audio, PowerPoints, and even props to demonstrate concepts. I am excellent at helping students to organize their ideas for essays and to deliver clear arguments to defend any position. If you are looking to create and edit an essay (college application, English essay, science report, etc.), to make an oral presentation, or if you just need some useful writing advice, I will be happy to assist you in reaching your goals!
Ever since I took my LSAT last February, I have been helping friends and acquaintances improve their strategies and sharpen their skills. I'm excited by the opportunity to do this on a larger scale!
Hey I'm Uchenna! I'm from Beltsville, MD and I currently am taking a year off between my third and fourth years at the University of Michigan Medical School to do biomedical research at the NIH. I also graduated magna cum laude from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) with a B.S. in Biochemistry and a minor in Psychology. I have quite a few years of tutoring under my belt as I tutored for about 3 years when I was at UMBC. And although I had no formal tutoring positions in medical school, my classmates and I constantly taught each other our material and various concepts. I love tutoring because I know trying to be successful in your coursework can be difficult and when you can help someone throughout that journey, it truly is beneficial for both tutee and tutor seeing the mutual satisfaction in that person's progress.I have always been fairly good at math and this was no different on the SATs. Through hard work and preparation, the SAT math section proved to be my best individual score with a 760. I also took the Math Subject Test and did well on that as well. I have an extensive background in mathematics from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus from the elementary up to college-level difficulty and I make it my goal to help students understand what sometimes does feel like another language of numbers.Throughout my entire life I have always been passionate about science. It is what eventually led me into pursuing a Biochemistry degree in college and ultimately the field of medicine. I have always understood scientific subjects well and naturally, it helped me tutor a variety of subjects (chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, physics, etc.) in high school and college. I believe that your progress in science courses depends on learning fundamental concepts and constantly building on them which is something I always strive to do and work with tutees on.Please don't hesitate to reach out! I would love to help you in whatever STEM or test prep class that I can to help you reach your goals. I will do my best to respond promptly as well. Looking forward to working with you!
I am a graduate of University of Maryland, Baltimore County where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with Honors. During the summer of 2017, I traveled through Europe in a study abroad program and studied Jurisprudence and Ethics in Health Care. During college I've worked as a teaching assistant and tutored privately before. I am passionate about helping others to reach their full potential, and I love giving advice about anyone who would like to pursue a medical career. I am currently a medical student at Penn State College of Medicine
I am a graduate from the University of Maryland: Baltimore County, and I received my degree in Geography and Environmental Science, which is fun stuff like geology and hurricane studies. I was a tutor for 2 years at my university, and I got lots of experience with figuring out individual learning styles and different ways to approach education. I've always been most excited about taking and teaching STEM classes. I love being able to teach science and math the most because they have a reputation for being really difficult, and I love breaking down concepts into bite-sized components that are easier to think about. My teaching style focuses heavily on content understanding, instead of just short-term application. I find students are able to excel much more when they're given time to be able to break down content and thoroughly explore how and why it works.
I am a mathematics and computer engineering student at the University of Maryland: Baltimore County. Last summer, I did math research into ordinary differential equations. I tutor in mathematics, computer science, and engineering for middle school, high school, and college students. Using my background, I can tutor students who as more theoretically or practically oriented and can bring explanations or examples from either area. My interests outside of school are reading and weightlifting.
