What will you get out of this session: 
﻿
In this session, we’ll tackle every major concept from AP Biology Unit 2, giving you a solid understanding of the intricacies of cells, their structures, and functions. After covering the big-picture ideas, we’ll break each down into smaller, digestible pieces to deepen our conceptual understanding. By the end, we’ll go over a set of Practice Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQs) and Free Response Questions (FRQs) to test your knowledge and help solidify your grasp of the material.

Hi, I’m Jiarui! 👋 I’m a senior from Upstate NY who’s really into math and science. I also love exploring new interests outside of school. You’ll usually find me playing tennis or soccer, spending time with friends, or experimenting in the kitchen as I learn how to cook. I enjoy tutoring and sharing what I’ve learned just as much as I enjoy picking up new things myself. Excited to be part of this community and connect with more people who love learning too! 🚀
