Meet Maggie Klein: High School Science Tutor.

I have been a student for as long as I can remember—from kindergarten until now, as a third year medical student. With so many hours logged in the classroom, I know one of the best feelings in the world is when the material clicks, and I love when I can help other people have that “ah-ha” moment, too. I worked as a teaching assistant and tutor during and after college and find that my passion for volunteering mainly revolves around school programming. I enjoy connecting with students and helping them develop their passions for STEM subjects, especially chemistry and biology.

As a tutor, I like to analyze learning styles. Every student learns differently, and I want to meet my students where they are—whether that includes creating diagrams for visual learners, employing conversational based approaches for auditory learners, or something else. Many people believe that science is all memorization, but understanding the common threads that underpin scientific inquiry and comprehensively learning material helps to create an unbreakable foundation for future learning. Having taken a plethora of standardized tests in my time, I also like to help students break down questions from ever-elusive science sections and assessments. My goal is always to do whatever it takes to support each individual student so that they feel confident in their knowledge.
