Hi! I’m an incoming med student with a biology degree from Georgetown University and a passion for helping students through challenging courses. I’m happy to tutor anyone in science and math, especially classes like (AP) Biology and Chemistry. I am also happy to tutor college students working through pre-med requirements. I have also found success in helping students with their college application essays to selective universities. I’ve been tutoring for about 7 years and I’m rated 5 stars on my previous platforms!

Deborah P.
Deborah contacted me almost immediately and set up a time to ask questions about my daughter's needs. She was curious, kind and she seemed to know exactly what we needed. She was a good listener because she connected us with a fantastic Physics tutor. My daughter got an F on her first Physics test and got an A+ on the next test after the tutor started 1:1's. We are thrilled to find a tutoring service like this and recommend ActiveMinds to everyone.
