In cultivating a top-notch educational team, she finds and trains enthusiastic math minds who are able to “teach as tutors.”

Cammie Grimes is a science tutor based in Brooklyn, NY. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 2021 as a Human Biology major and a Chemistry minor, she has been working as a clinical researcher while honing her tutoring skills. She loves all things related to the natural sciences, and when she’s not tutoring or in a lab, one can find her exploring NYC’s many amazing parks and gardens.

Catherine DeClemente received her B.S. in finance from SUNY Oswego and her MBA from Baruch College.  After working several years in the private sector, she decided to channel her passion for math into one-on-one work with students. Since 2014, she has been a Metutel tutor, continuing to educate and empower young people through math. Catherine makes a point of introducing challenging concepts through smaller steps and helps her students find ways of relating to the material so that it “clicks,” building confidence and enthusiasm along the way toward understanding. Outside of work, Catherine enjoys kickboxing and spends time traveling whenever and wherever she can.
