About Cassandra

I am a dedicated science educator with an M.S. in Human Genetics and a B.S. in Biology (summa cum laude). I hold an active Colorado Department of Education (CDE) Substitute Authorization and bring years of hands-on laboratory experience, published academic research and university-level mentoring experience. Science often feels overwhelming due to abstract concepts and complex vocabulary. My goal as a tutor is to strip away that frustration and foster genuine curiosity, confidence, and critical thinking skills. Whether you are a high school student striving to master AP Biology, a college student tackling complex genetics coursework, or a middle school student looking to excel in foundational science, I tailor every lesson to meet your unique learning style and goals.

I had the pleasure of working with Cassandra when she was a graduate student at the University of Utah, where I observed her to be a caring, compassionate, and thoughtful mentor. I was especially impressed by her ability to make science engaging and accessible to young students through hands-on experiments at the YWCA, including teaching them how to isolate and quantify DNA. Cassandra has a natural ability to connect with students, foster their curiosity, and create an encouraging learning environment. I am confident that she brings the same enthusiasm, patience, and dedication to her teaching today.

Cassandra is an exceptional tutor who has a rare ability to make difficult material feel approachable. Her strong background in biology and genetics gives her an incredible depth of knowledge, but what really sets her apart is her patience and ability to explain concepts in multiple ways until they truly click.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with Cassandra while preparing for a challenging exam, and she never made me feel embarrassed about not understanding something. Instead, she broke problems down step by step, helped me recognize patterns, and taught me how to approach similar questions independently. She was encouraging without simply giving me the answers, which made a huge difference in my confidence.

One of my favorite experiences was working through practice problems together and having Cassandra stop to explain not just *what* the answer was, but *why* it was the answer and how to recognize the strategy on the next problem. By the end, I was solving problems I initially found intimidating on my own.

Cassandra is knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her students' success. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor who can make challenging subjects understandable while helping students build real confidence in their abilities.
