"Hi! My name is Ivie Kirkland, and I’m a Yale University student majoring in Biomedical Engineering with a deep passion for teaching and mentorship. I’m a Gates Scholarship recipient, Regeneron ISEF Finalist, and a graduate of the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science, where I completed rigorous coursework including AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP Physics, AP Calculus BC, and Multivariable Calculus. I have over four years of hands-on laboratory experience in chemistry, biology, and physics, and I’ve conducted independent scientific research recognized at the national level.

I have formal tutoring experience as a Chemistry Peer Tutor at The Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science, where I worked one-on-one with students weekly to break down complex concepts, strengthen problem-solving skills, and build confidence, especially for AP-level courses. My teaching style is patient, encouraging, and highly adaptable. I focus on understanding how each student learns best and then tailor explanations, practice problems, and study strategies to match their needs. Whether you’re preparing for exams, struggling with foundational concepts, or aiming for top scores, I’m committed to helping you succeed.

Beyond academics, I bring strong communication and leadership skills developed through student government, research presentations, and community service. I genuinely enjoy helping students realize their potential and feel confident in their abilities. If you’re looking for a tutor who is knowledgeable, supportive, and invested in your growth, I’d love to work with you!" less...
