Julia

Certified Tutor

I graduated from Northeastern University in 2012 with a BS in Behavioral Neuroscience, and currently work in Clinical Research at the University of Maryland, Baltimore. I have a strong science background, having earned a 4.0 in my major, and am able to help with all ranges of Biology, Chemistry, and Organic chemistry. I am also available for SAT prep, college entrance essays, and other writing and editing needs. During my college career, I tutored both high school and college-age students. I received positive feedback from both my students, who enjoyed my interactive tutoring approach, and my supervisors, who applauded the emphasis I placed on study methods and test-taking strategies. My tutoring mantra is all about setting goals and accomplishing them little by little. I am a big proponent of taking things one step at a time, focusing on successes instead of dwelling on frustrations, as I believe this ultimately leads to the highest success rates and student satisfaction. I very much enjoy all aspects of science, research, and academia, and love having the opportunity to teach students and see them develop their own interests and passions in learning. Science can be complicated, but I believe that I have the skill and passion to help make it simple and easier to digest. In my free time, I love playing ultimate Frisbee, singing in musicals and running races.
