About Tegan
I am a dedicated STEM tutor and biology major with a strong academic background and a passion for helping students succeed. Through my coursework in biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and advanced scientific analysis, I have developed a deep understanding of complex scientific concepts and how to communicate them clearly.
I have experience working through rigorous college-level material, including lab work, data analysis, and scientific writing, which allows me to support students not only with content but also with study strategies and problem-solving skills. I understand firsthand how challenging STEM courses can be, and I aim to make them more approachable and less overwhelming.
As a tutor, I prioritize professionalism, patience, and adaptability. I create a supportive, judgment-free environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and working through difficult topics. My goal is not just to help students improve their grades, but to build their confidence and independence in learning.
I am reliable, organized, and committed to each student’s success. Whether you need help preparing for an exam, understanding difficult material, or strengthening your study habits, I am here to help you reach your goals.

Together, we will move at a pace that works best for YOU to accomplish your educational goals! As a STEM tutor, my approach focuses on making complex concepts understandable, engaging, and applicable. I believe that students learn best when they actively participate, so I emphasize breaking down difficult material into manageable steps while encouraging critical thinking and problem-solving.
Teaching Methods and Techniques
I use a combination of conceptual teaching and practice-based learning. First, I explain the “why” behind concepts so students truly understand the material rather than memorizing it. Then, I guide them through examples and gradually shift responsibility to them through practice problems. I also use visual aids, real-world analogies, and step-by-step walkthroughs to simplify abstract topics. I adapt my teaching style based on the student’s learning preferences—whether they are visual, auditory, or hands-on learners.
A Typical Lesson Plan
A typical session starts with a quick review of previous material to reinforce understanding. Then, I introduce the new concept in a clear and simplified way, followed by guided examples. After that, students work through problems with my support, allowing me to identify and address any misunderstandings in real time. I end each session with a summary of key points and a few independent practice problems to build confidence and retention.
What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
What sets me apart is my ability to connect with students and explain material in a relatable way. As a biology major with extensive experience in science coursework, I understand the challenges students face and how to overcome them. I focus on building confidence, not just improving grades, by creating a supportive and non-judgmental learning environment. I also prioritize efficiency—helping students learn what they need to succeed without overwhelming them.
Who My Lessons Are For
My lessons are best suited for middle school, high school, and early college students taking courses in biology, chemistry, and general STEM subjects. This includes students preparing for exams, struggling with foundational concepts, or aiming to improve their academic performance. I can also support pre-med or science-focused students who want a deeper understanding of the material.
