Tutor Information
About
If I was looking for a tutor, I would want someone who was highly successful as a student and has perfected teaching you Understanding through 9+ years and 600+ hours of tutoring.
--------------FREE 15 minute consultation for new students!-------------
I achieved straight A’s in all pre-medical courses (3.98 undergraduate and 3.94 PhD GPA) and have effectively helped my students achieve A/B’s. Through my years as a student, tutor, and TA for introductory through graduate-level biology, chemistry, and physiology, I offer a unique level of content expertise and first-hand knowledge preparing for these exams.
I actively seek the root cause of confusion and don't give up teaching understanding until it clicks for you.
Before each session, I will review your specific content. I will develop not only a highly individualized plan for that session but also a study plan to ensure you are prepared as best as you can.
No more ineffective, chaotic studying--get concrete study plans to make overwhelming courses less stressful and manageable.
Teaching has always been a large part of my life, starting in high school. My experience includes being a former lecture TA for Organic Chemistry for 2 years, helping over 200 students through independent reviews and individual help, leading review sessions for doctoral students (physiology), as well as 100+ hours of tutoring high school students and elective STEM courses for non-majors.
The wide range of students and different complexity levels has allowed me to perfect breaking down complex content into manageable learning for you and adapt my teaching to what works best for you.
I don’t only passively answer your questions; I will actively test your knowledge for misunderstandings and gaps to ensure you truly understand and don’t miss exam questions because of them. I will actively ensure you walk away confidently understanding core concepts.
