Education: Ph.D. Candidate in Cellular and Molecular Biology, University of Pennsylvania; B.S. Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University;
Areas of Expertise: Math, Chemistry, Biology, Statistics
Kisha is currently a PhD Candidate at the University of Pennsylvania studying Cellular and Molecular Biology with a specialization in Cancer Biology. With a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, Kisha has conducted and taken part in research involving drug/gene delivery, neurosurgery, cellular immunotherapies, cancer biology, and immunometabolism.
As a STEM-focused tutor with six years of experience, she maintains an individualized and dynamic teaching style, emphasizing the importance of providing two-way feedback between her and her students.
Kisha’s experience and extensive STEM background allows her to truly understand the challenges her students face with their STEM subjects, which is why she makes it a point that her lessons are targeted towards addressing those areas of need. One of the ways she accomplishes this is by asking students for their thought process in approaching a problem. In doing so, she is able to tailor lessons according to a student’s unique learning style and supplement their skills.
When she’s not tutoring or working on her Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania, Kisha spends her time gardening, reading, and hanging out with her family.
Student Testimonials
“When my teenage daughter started with Stemly in November 2022, she was on the verge of failing Pre-Calculus. My daughter was resistant to tutoring and I was concerned that online tutoring might not be effective. I was wrong. After one session, my daughter thanked me for getting her a tutor. Working diligently with her tutor, Kisha, my daughter learned a semester of Pre-Calculus in less than 4 weeks. She got an A+ on her final project and a B+ on her cumulative exam. But more important than raising her grade, Stemly restored my daughter's confidence, and she enjoys math again!”

“My 16 year old 10th grader wasn't consistently confident that she was fully mastering her algebra 2 lessons, so enlisted the help of tutor Kisha who has helped her with extra review after new material is introduced as well as some extra test prep/practice. The support has been very effective in both her performance and confidence. My daughter went from a B+ last trimester to an A- during this current mid-term, and is so happy.”
