"I'm Henry S, and I'm the sole proprietor and tutor at Hyperion Tutoring. I have been tutoring in biology and chemistry since I was a junior in high school. I offer online tutoring in middle school to college level biology, chemistry, and mathematics. I graduated from Reed College in 2021 with a BA in Biology specializing in molecular biology. The majority of my career has been split between doing individualized and group tutoring and lab research.

I'm comfortable teaching all types of biology, chemistry, and math through the high school level, but if the student is in college we would need to discuss what classes they want tutoring for. In biology, I have experience in molecular biology, microbiology, evolutionary biology, developmental biology, and ecology. I can tutor college introductory chemistry and biochemistry. In mathematics, I've tutored students in algebra, pre-calculus, and trigonometry. I'm open to a number of different types of arrangements, but I usually suggest at least weekly tutoring as in my experience it results in the best reinforcement of the target concepts. Appointments run for at least one hour but can be longer depending on scheduling.

I'm also a published author in biology. With this experience in scientific communication and primary research, I'm happy to help science students with writing lab reports and conducting data analysis for classes or personal projects.

My teaching philosophy focuses on a two way relationship formed with the student. Depending upon what the student and I have decided to focus on for the session, I usually employ an adapted Socratic method which will allow the student to figure out answers independently and build critical thinking skills. Students at the middle, high school, and college levels are frequently switching scientific subjects either by the month or semester, and my broad knowledge base allows me to stay with a student and continue to build a relationship as they grow and progress." less...
