"Hi! I’m Victoria, a passionate Biology and Chemistry tutor dedicated to helping students build confidence and mastery in science. I graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.S. in Biology from Stony Brook University, where I also minored in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. My goal is to make complex STEM topics clear, engaging, and achievable for every learner.

Highlights:

College-Level Teaching:

Served as a General Chemistry Teaching Assistant for four years, supporting classrooms of 200+ students. Led small-group review sessions where students improved their exam scores by 10–15 points on average. Provided study guides to explain chemistry concepts, and understand the usage of formulas and constants.

Graduate-Level Instruction:

Worked as a Microbiology Graduate Teaching Assistant for one year, guiding 100+ students through labs and discussions. My color-coded diagrams and step-by-step breakdowns helped students grasp challenging concepts like bacterial genetics and metabolism.

One-on-One Tutoring:

Tutored over 50 students from middle school to college in science and math. Helped raise C averages to an A- in one quarter for middle school, high school, and college students. Specialize in tutoring AP Biology students: lesson understanding, mastering data analysis, experimental design, and test-taking strategies.

Fluent in instructing College Biology courses including Cell Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and more by providing by providing personalized explanations, outside resources, and real-world connections that make complex concepts intuitive and manageable.

Teaching Style:

Visual, interactive, and supportive. I use real-world examples, diagrams, and analogies to make abstract ideas “click.” I coach students on study habits and exam preparation so they build long-term confidence.

If you’re looking for a tutor with university-level teaching experience and a student-centered approach, I’d love to work with you!" less...
