McKenzie is a passionate and enthusiastic STEM tutor with many years of experience teaching students of all ages from all over the world. As a former pre-medical student, McKenzie lets her passion for science shine through her lessons, making them more engaging, often sparking her students’ fascination with science, as well. Her areas of expertise include Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, and the MCAT, as well as mentorship/executive functioning skills. She also works as a college admissions mentor and expertly guides students in creating passion projects that truly help them stand out in the admissions process. She understands that tutors cannot take a one-size-fits-all approach—each student learns in his or her own unique way and, with the right attitude, can master even the most challenging material.

Soon after finishing her dual bachelor’s degree in psychology and general science, along with a minor in Chemistry, McKenzie moved to Ho Chi Minh City where she serves as a pediatric palliative care provider for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. When she’s not teaching or volunteering, she’s often roaming around Ho Chi Minh City or venturing into the jungles of Southeast Asia.
