I hold a PhD in Biology with a research emphasis in evolution, genomics, bioinformatics, and statistics. I teach at the undergraduate & post-graduate levels as well as model STEM curriculum for high and middle school. Teaching is my passion, and I make my interest in the topic infectious to students. I am skilled at summarizing content and making it easier for students to digest and grasp quickly.

As a scientific researcher, quantitative skills are required. I enjoy sharing my love of qu...

Great problem-solving skills; very patient and pleasant. Allows time for asking questions and good time management skills. I have booked with Katherine G. several times and have found a fabulous tutor!
- Diana K. from Fernandina Beach, FL
My 16 year old loves working with Katherine. She has been able to help her this year with algebra/geometry 2 and Biology, it's so nice she can help with both. One time she even was able to do an appt with her very early before school to help her with an important assignment she was struggling with the night before. My daughter says she is very patient and kind, which is the perfect demeanor to help her understand these concepts.
- Angie A. from Portland, OR
Extremely knowledgeable. Realistic. Does not feed you the answers but does help you get to them. Only Tableau tutor I will ever go to again! Really appreciated that she researched things and was ready with answers to my questions. Friendly yet equally respectful of my time.
- Caledonia D. from Richmond, VA
I am pursuing a microbiology major with a focus on bioinformatics. I sought assistance not only in programming but also from someone with a scientific background to guide me in interpreting data and understanding its significance.She patiently explained every detail to me, recognizing that it takes me a bit longer to grasp concepts. She has been invaluable in helping me comprehend scholarly research articles and assisting with programming languages such as Python, Rstudio (R), and Unix command line. Overall, she is an exceptional science tutor capable of providing support across a wide range of topics.
- Ayana P. from Lake Worth, FL
Katherine is really kind and helpful and I would definitely recommend her if you need tutoring! She walked me through writing an R-studio script for a research paper, as well as walking me through how to write and structure a psychology research paper. Going into the tutoring session I didn't know anything about R-studio or the steps to write a research paper and by the end she gave me all the information I needed to leave confident in my knowledge. Katherine was extremely patient and understanding. I was confused by many things due to not having any experience, and she would reassure me that there was no problem going over material more or explaining things in depth if needed. She also explains material in a very clear and descriptive manner and walked me through each step one by one to be sure and cover all the material.

Katherine is well versed in R studio and statistics. I am a college sophomore taking statistics using R studio and she has been super helpful in my assignments. She knows exactly what to and it amazes me every time. She is also very kind and patient, I am impressed at how quickly she is able to fix my mistakes. She also answers my questions over email if I forget to ask it in the session which has been a lifesaver!
- Morgan L. from Boulder, CO
She helped me with MBA level operations and statistics she was very accommodating of my peculiar circumstance and she held my hand through complex statistical computations
- Dra A. from Denver, NC
Katherine helped my with data science projects in R Studio. She was a well-versed expert in the programming language and was key to my success in the class. Highly recommend
- Stacy B. from New York, NY
We worked through my issues with question 4 and made the plots needed for both males and females' life exp. We also got them printed to PDF as instructions and gonna try the code myself
- Cathy F. from Irvine, CA
She helped me with some difficult code in R that I've been working on for a thesis project. She is very patient with all of my questions and is great at explaining code.
- Michelle S. from Brooklyn, NY
I am very impressed with how Katherine gets right down to business and explains everything in a way that I can understand. I learn more with her than my actual class and am grateful for her patience with me!
- Shannon L. from Wilmington, DE
Katherine was very knowledgeable in statistics and using R. She is a great teacher and was able to help me in my university level statistics class to apply stats in R! I highly recommend!
- Lynda G. from Chandler, AZ
Super patient, knowledgeable, and helpful! 10/10! She KNOWS her stuff!!!!! Shes easy to get along with and explains everything to help you understand
- Alexis M. from Baldwin, NY
I liked how she focused both on showing me both what I did right and what i did wrong (instead of just highlighting the things I did wrong). She was very nice and gave me some really great suggestions to solve the issues I was having. Made me feel like there is still hope in this class for the future!
- Rebecca P. from New York, NY
She helped me get some of the basics with R down and set me up for success with my classes. Will most definitely continue to work with for future R learning. Highly recommend.
- Edward T. from Heavener, OK
Katherine is extremely knowledgeable with R code and Biostatistics. She is also extremely patient while I was figuring everything out on my own. Highly recommend. She was also on time and ready to dive in to the material.
- Ariana S. from West Roxbury, MA
Katherine is really knowledgeable in biostats. My daughter had many questions and didn't know how to approach her writing assignment. Through Katherine's help and guidance, my daughter was able to complete her assignment on time and well. We truly appreciate her!!!
- Virginia C. from Houston, TX
Katherine is very intelligent and knows so much about the topic she teaches. Whenever a question is difficult, she always knows another way to solve it and does not give up.
- Gaby D. from Rosedale, NY
I was feeling lost on the subject + really appreciated that Katherine took the time to help teach the material to me. I've worked with other tutors that had me lead the session with my own questions, which isn't productive when you're behind on the material. Thanks Katherine!
- Alexis L. from Washington, DC
Starting out for my graduate level biostats class was daunting but my first lesson went really well and I?m feeling a bit more confident. Looking forward to learning more as the term progresses! Thank you!
