"Hello! My name is Daria, and I am currently a graduate student specializing in Chemical Biology. I hold a B.S. in Biochemistry with minors in Science Education, Global Health, and Professional Writing. I have successfully completed the California Subject Examinations for Teachers (CSETs) in both General Science and Life Science. My academic achievements are deeply intertwined with my passion for research, which currently focuses on protein chemistry and bioinformatics.

My teaching experience spans various levels of education—from elementary to high school, where I have instructed courses in Biology and Honors Earth Science. Additionally, I have independently taught an undergraduate-level course and served as a teaching assistant for a university Chemistry laboratory. Alongside these roles, I have continuously tutored high school and college students in subjects ranging from General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry to Biology, Math, and Chemical Physics.

When it comes to tutoring, I strive to adapt my approach to the unique needs of each student, whether that means diving into detailed problem-solving practice or constructing relatable analogies to clarify complex theories. I believe that the best learning happens when it’s tailored and responsive, and I’m committed to creating a supportive environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and explore challenging topics with confidence." less...
