About Brenda

Brenda has extensive experience tutoring STEM topics across the high school, college and graduate school levels. Her tutoring and teaching experiences range from formal tutoring positions, teaching assistant roles and more informal mentoring of graduate students in bioinformatics. With a B.S. in molecular biology and a Ph.D. in Pharmacogenomics, Brenda enjoys exploring biology and chemistry at all levels and helping students find the same spark in subjects they might not expect to enjoy. Her sessions mix quizzing to build mastery with slide-based lessons that explain concepts clearly. She also dedicates a small amount of time to explore the frontier of each field, so students feel a sense of curiosity and awe. Above all, she values building bonds with her students, and looks forward to catching up with them each week.
