Hi! I'm Stephanie — a science and writing tutor with 17 years of experience helping K–12 and college students gain confidence, master tough material, and reach their goals. I tutor primarily online, so students can work with me from anywhere — and I also offer in-person sessions for those local to Tucson, AZ.
I've been tutoring science and writing for seventeen years — with experience at universities in New York, Tacoma, Nashville, and here in Tucson, as well as privately, online, and through the National Science Foundation. I tutor primarily online, making it easy to work with students across the US — and I'm also available for in-person sessions locally in Tucson, AZ.
My science background covers most fields of biology and marine science, with deep expertise in ecology, oceanography, marine biology, AP Biology, and genetics. I've worked in ecology and marine biology labs and run science workshops for young teens.
I'm also a college counselor who helps students navigate the application process, craft compelling essays and personal statements, and find their footing — especially science majors.
From AP Bio to college essays, I cover the subjects where students need the most support.
My core expertise. Deep knowledge of ocean ecosystems, marine organisms, and environmental science.
Ecology, genetics, AP Biology, and most biology fields at the K–12 and college level.
Essays, research papers, grammar, and writing skills for high school and college students.
Personal statements, application strategy, transfer guidance, and college counseling for all majors.
Test prep focused on the science reasoning and English/writing sections of the SAT and ACT.
Most science subjects across K–12 and introductory college courses — chemistry, earth science, and more.
I tutor online — so students can work with me from anywhere — and offer in-person sessions for those in Tucson, AZ. (I've also previously tutored at universities in New York, Tacoma, and Nashville.)
Two fully remote science camps for high schoolers this summer — join from anywhere in the world and go deeper than the classroom.
Explore the science behind desert ecosystems — from hardy cacti to desert-adapted wildlife. Students investigate ecology, adaptations, and the surprising biodiversity of arid environments.
Dive into the world beneath the waves. Students explore ocean science, marine life, and ecosystems — guided by a tutor with real research experience in marine biology and oceanography.
Enroll in Desert Deep Dives and Marine Explorers together and save $50.
Real feedback from students and parents I've worked with — from high schoolers to college seniors.
I want our sessions to run smoothly for everyone. Here's what to keep in mind.
At least 12 hours notice is required to cancel or reschedule a session. Cancellations made with less than 12 hours notice will incur a $25 cancellation fee. Repeated cancellations or rescheduling may result in a charge for the full session time. I appreciate your understanding — this helps me keep time available for all students.
Send me a message anytime — I'll get back to you within 24 hours.
