Jessica T.
Swarthmore College, University of California, San Francisco
Ph.D. chemist and teacher
I earned my Ph.D. at the University of California, San Francisco in the area of Chemistry and Chemical Biology. According to the US News & World Report, UCSF consistently ranks among the top ten schools for graduate study in the area of Biochemistry / Biophysics / Structural Biology. I earned my B.A. from Swarthmore College in Chemistry. I am a published scientific author. My research interests focus on examining the structural biology of membrane proteins using X-ray crystallography. I have extensive experience tutoring chemistry courses at the college and graduate level, and am open to tutoring middle and high school students. I have experience as a teaching assistant for General Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Pharmaceutical Chemistry courses. This involved leading recitation courses for undergraduate and professional students, and also assisting with teaching undergraduate laboratory sections. I have experience with proctoring and grading exams, which is a definite advantage when tutoring because I know how university exams are structured and can give tips on how to prepare for exams. Students have a variety of career goals when studying chemistry, and I work hard to meet their needs when I am tutoring. Some students are preparing for medical school and need to pass challenging chemistry courses to do so. Others have the goal of moving on to nursing or pharmacy school. Some of my students aim for careers or higher education in chemistry. Understanding the principles of chemistry serves as a stepping stone that lets them accomplish their career goals.

Ayomide M.
University of Akron
Transformational Math and Algebra Tutor Specializing in Rewiring Students' Brains for Life
Hi there! My name is Ayomide (pronounced eye-yo-ME-day) and I'm an Ohio native with a profound love for math and a gift for translating math to the unique brain language to anyone at any level. I have 5 years of tutoring experience and a background in cognitive neuroscience (the science in how people learn and behave) which fuels my passion for providing the opportunity for every student to finally understand math. I specialize in Algebra and also love offering sessions of elementary and basic math. In my time tutoring, I've taught students from 8 years to 55 years young, autistic students, students with ADHD, students with information retention challenges, students with traumatic brain injuries, and advanced students. All had different goals: pass their final exam to enter nursing school, to finally not fail math, to achieve their GED, to stay ahead in class. With every student I've had, they not only achieved, yet surpassed their goals. How do I do this? I don't focus on simply going over the materials, many can do this, including ChatGPT, that isn't what you're paying a tutor for. The value I provide is human to human connection, using my natural pattern discerning abilities to pinpoint what unique challenges my students carry. This allows me to tailor every session to every individual pupil. From anxiety and overthinking every problem, to chronic mental math dependency, to being more of an artsy type than a logic type, I take the strengths that every student brings to the table and spin it in their favor. I work in the business of changing lives and would love to touch yours. Let's talk!
