"Hello, I'm Marketta! I have 10+ years of experience teaching across multiple subjects, primarily in the life sciences. I'm highly qualified in teaching students at all levels, yet I do my best to relate the challenging landscape my high school- and university-level clients navigate. I'm patient in my work, creating a welcoming, non-judgmental environment. I make each session a collaborative effort. We cater to your unique learning style, and decide what your goals are for that session. I aim to make the tutoring experience as enjoyable as possible and I highly value open communication so that I can learn how best to support you or your child during our lessons together.

Your Choice of Me as Your Tutor

In addition to tutoring, I'm also passionate about career mentorship in the life sciences. I'm a mentor through Polygence.org where I guide high schoolers how to conduct their own research project. I have 10+ years experience working across several laboratories, where I often relate real world applications to my students. It's my mission to help students succeed in the classroom, on AP exams, with college admissions, navigate internships and capstone honors thesis projects. We strategize what you want out of your educational experience for the longevity of your academic success.

Background, Credentials, & Experience

I attended Barrett, the Honors College at Arizona State University. I underwent a rigorous curriculum of biology, biochemistry, genetics, microbiology, cellular biology, developmental biology, evolution, chemistry, and physics, created a student-run organization for biological science majors, and wrote my honors thesis dissertation. I worked with professors, sparking a collaboration between them and the researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) in downtown Phoenix. I was accepted to the Interdepartmental Neuroscience Program at the University of California, Irvine, where I earned my Masters of Science in Molecular Neuroscience and PhD in Neurobiology & Behavior." less...
