Melissa's Science Tutoring
About
I am a college graduate with degrees in Evolutionary Anthropology and Earth and Environmental Sciences. I am currently a researcher who studies paleontology and in my work I use knowledge from all fields of science, including chemistry, geology, physics, and biology. My expertise makes me a great person to help you understand scientific concepts from different angles!
I love teaching and helping people understand the natural world from a scientific perspective. As a scientist, I love learning, and I love to teach people how to understand science and make it less difficult.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
If working with a student who is in a class, I will go with them week by week to review the content that they are covering in that class and build on the areas they need help with. If the student is studying for an exam (AP or IB) I can go topic by topic where they need extra help.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have two degrees from the University of Michigan; a B.S. in Evolutionary Anthropology and a B.S. in Earth and Environmental Sciences. I am currently a PhD student at the University of Chicago studying Paleobiology.
