About Blake
Hi! I'm a University of Pennsylvania graduate with a bachelor's degree in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Classical Studies. I have three semesters of experience as an Organic Chemistry Teaching Assistant, where I supported students through office hours, problem-solving sessions, and course material that many find challenging.
In addition to my academic experience, I was a varsity softball player at Penn, which taught me discipline, perseverance, and the value of teamwork. I have also mentored young college athletes, helping them balance academics and athletics while building confidence and effective study habits.
I understand that chemistry and biology can feel overwhelming, and my goal is to create a supportive, encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I'm reliable, patient, and committed to helping each student build both confidence and a strong understanding of the material. Whether you're preparing for an exam, working through homework, or aiming to improve your overall performance, I'm here to help you reach your goals.

I believe the best way to learn science is to understand the "why" behind each concept rather than simply memorizing facts. My teaching approach is patient, interactive, and tailored to each student's learning style. I break down complex topics into manageable steps, encourage questions, and use practice problems to build confidence and reinforce understanding.
A typical lesson begins by identifying the student's goals and areas of difficulty. We then review key concepts, work through example problems together, and finish with independent practice and test-taking strategies. I also provide tips for studying efficiently and recognizing common mistakes.
As a University of Pennsylvania graduate with a bachelor's degree in Biology and minors in Chemistry and Classical Studies, I bring a strong academic foundation to every session. I also have three semesters of experience as an Organic Chemistry Teaching Assistant, where I led office hours, answered student questions, and helped students master challenging material. In addition, my experience mentoring young college athletes has strengthened my communication skills and taught me how to motivate students with different learning styles and goals.
I tutor high school, AP, and college students in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biology, and related life science courses. Whether you're preparing for an exam, improving your grades, or building a stronger foundation, I'll work with you to create a personalized plan that helps you succeed.
