Doctor of Physical Therapy Student & Summa Cum Laude Kinesiology Graduate | Anatomy, Physiology, Neuroscience & Biology Tutor

Tutor Information

About

Hi, I’m Nicholas, a current Doctor of Physical Therapy student at Old Dominion University. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Christopher Newport University with a 3.96 GPA, graduating summa cum laude. I offer tutoring in anatomy, physiology, neuroscience, biology, and related health-science subjects for high school, college, and pre-health students. My background includes more than one year of experience as a physical therapy technician and an eight-week outpatient orthopedic clinical rotation. In these settings, I guided therapeutic exercise, provided patient education, assisted with range-of-motion and strength testing, and connected anatomy and physiology to practical clinical situations under licensed physical therapist supervision. During tutoring sessions, I break complicated material into manageable steps using diagrams, clinical examples, guided questions, active recall, and practice problems. Rather than memorizing disconnected facts, students learn how structures, functions, and biological processes relate to one another. Students are welcome to bring lecture slides, study guides, assignments, or difficult topics so we can create a focused plan around their individual goals.

Reviews

Breaks down complex topics into easy learnings

I’ve known Nick for a little over a year, and I’m inspired by his work ethic. He makes sure he is prepared by reading through my notes first, and uses great analogies for me to grasp. Aside this, he’s taught really great techniques on how to study more effectively.
