"Hi! I'm Maria, and I'm passionate about teaching students of all levels to ace biology and - most importantly - to love it. Studying biology can feel like endless memorization, but it doesn't have to be. I'll help you see the beauty and logic behind it.

I have a PhD in Neuroscience and 8 years of experience teaching biology courses at colleges and universities around New York City. I also co-authored a science study guide published by Penguin Random House that helps middle-school students learn and review biology in a fun way.

Whether you're just getting started in biology, working towards standardized tests, or struggling with university courses, I'm here to help! Book a trial lesson so we can discuss your specific goals and how I can help you reach them." less...
