"Hi! I’m Gavin, a biochemistry student at the University of Virginia on an accelerated chemistry track. I’ve maintained a 4.0 GPA across both my current UVA coursework and the advanced, college-level STEM classes I completed before college, including chemistry, biology, calculus, Latin, and German. In high school I earned 5s on AP Chemistry, AP Biology, AP Calculus BC, AP Physics 1, and eight additional AP exams, and received multiple academic achievement awards for excellence in STEM. I also served as a peer mentor and one-on-one volunteer tutor through my school’s science honor society, helping students in biology, chemistry, physics, and math. At UVA, I am often the one who is glad to explain complex topics clearly or problem sets that need to be broken down into manageable steps.

I care deeply about helping students genuinely understand what they are learning. I want them to see the underlying logic, not just arrive at the final answer. My tutoring style focuses on identifying strengths, finding the root causes of confusion, and rebuilding confidence through structured reasoning and targeted practice. I’m patient, organized, and committed to helping every student improve and ask questions freely. I have experience working with high school learners in both one-on-one and small-group settings. If you want structured, reliable support from someone who takes your learning seriously and enjoys helping concepts finally make sense, I’m here to help!" less...
