Chapel Hill Tutors from UNC Chapel Hill

Hello! My name is Brielle, and I’m a pre-med Biology, Neuroscience, and Chemistry student at UNC Chapel Hill. I am passionate about helping others learn and gain confidence in challenging subjects, just as my own mentors have helped me. My strongest tutoring areas are biology, chemistry, psychology, neuroscience, and physics, and I also enjoy tutoring math subjects including algebra, geometry, precalculus, and calculus.

As a tutor, my goal is not only to help students improve their grades, but also to help them become more confident and independent learners. I work to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking lots of questions, making mistakes, and growing. I enjoy breaking down concepts into manageable steps and using visual explanations, practice problems, and real-world examples to make learning more engaging.

In addition to my coursework, I work as a research assistant in a biophysics and molecular genetics laboratory at UNC, where I study the mechanics of DNA breakage and repair. I am also deeply involved in ethics as a scholar with UNC’s Parr Center for Ethics, where I have presented abstracts at conferences both locally and at Stanford University. Experiences like these have strengthened my ability to explain complex concepts clearly and adapt my teaching to fit different audiences and learning styles.

Outside of academics, I enjoy volunteering at UNC Hospital’s ICU, the local syringe services program, and at the local Orange County animal shelter. I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and helping others feel supported, whether in a healthcare setting or a tutoring session. My volunteer experiences have taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of meeting people where they are.

In my free time, I enjoy photography, reading, and staying active. I also played competitive soccer for over ten years, which taught me discipline, teamwork, and the importance of encouraging others to reach their goals.

Hello! My name is Aneesah (uh-nee-sa), and I am a rising junior at UNC Chapel Hill studying Neuroscience on the pre-med track. I am passionate about making learning an engaging, meaningful, and rewarding experience. Throughout my college coursework and neuroscience studies, I have developed several teaching strategies that focus on active learning, including whiteboards, visual representations, and step-by-step “how-to” sheets, and collaborative problem-solving sessions. My goal is not only to help students understand their course content, but also to foster curiosity, confidence, and independent learning techniques. I have previous experience tutoring math to students in 3rd through 5th grade.

Outside of the classroom, I have been involved in color guard throughout high school and continued to stay involved in college. For those unfamiliar, color guard is a visual performing art that combines dance and flag choreography. During my senior year, I served as captain of the team and worked one-on-one with several teammates who had no prior experience. This experience taught me that every individual learns differently, and it taught me the importance of breaking down skills step-by-step, while pacing learning in an encouraging and supportive way. 

Hi! My name is Tessa. I’m a junior at UNC Chapel Hill, double majoring in Biology and English & Comparative Literature, graduating in 2028.   I work with 7th-12th graders, and I’ve tutored various students in the Sciences, Math, and English. I also have been an official coach for Mock Trial. I love to help students learn and understand the material on a deeper level. I discovered my passion for learning through Shakespeare classes in middle school and I love all things Early Modern English. I enjoy Computer Science and Calculus, and I have a special interest in Biology, especially genetics!   Having moved a lot throughout my childhood, and transitioning between the English and American school systems, I know what it is like to feel behind and to struggle with coursework. I have the unique perspective of understanding many different cultures and ways of studying and learning. I want to help any other students feeling behind and help other students to discover their love for learning. I want to make every session engaging and a comfortable place for students to be themselves and engage with the material in the ways that suit them best.   In high school, I was the captain of my Mock Trial team. I participated in the YMCA Youth & Government program for two years and attended the national competition during both of those years. Last year, I officially volunteered with the YMCA as a Mock Trial coach. I also was a member of the Junior Fire Department and have been involved in musical theater for most of my life! I love music and reading, and I crochet in my free time!
