Rebecca Lipson, Ph.D., Tutor/Science Specialist
Rebecca is a self-described "science nerd." For as long as she can remember, she has been an avid reader of science fiction
novels. She has also had the benefit of having access to wonderful teachers in the subjects of science and mathematics. By sharing their enjoyment of the material, they inspired in her a sense of awe and a fun association with learning. While at UCLA, Rebecca worked as a research chemist and as a teaching assistant for undergraduates where she regularly fielded questions from
students as they sought further explanation of lecture topics. For Rebecca, few things are more satisfying than working through an explanation with a student until finally seeing that flash of comprehension.
