About

Hello! My name is Noah, I am a former Biochemistry Research Associate at the UNC school of medicine. I have a profound fascination of the natural world, I really enjoy thinking about how nature has crafted and fine tuned itself in wonderfully harmonious ways. I have an even stronger interest in people and how they themselves connect to the natural world and I see tutoring and mentoring as a way to foster and lay witness to these connections.

A bit about my background... I am a recent UNC grad (Go Heels!!) with a B.S. in Biology and minor in Chemistry. I spent a lot of time in college performing research of two flavors. I was an undegrad ressearch assistant studying the cell biology of marine fungi where I got a chance to interact in depth with the fundamental concepts I encountered in my foundational Biology, Chemistry, Biochem, and Organic Chemistry classes. I also conducted educational research where we studied the efficacy of active learning approaches in introductory STEM courses. During this experience I got to learn and practice firsthand new teaching approaches which use real-world situtations and hands-on learning to teach STEM content. As far as my direct teaching experiences go, I served as a Supplemental Instructor for Anatomy and Physiology, I created educational modules still in use by UNC's Molecular Biology curriculum, and I've tutored over 400 hours in courses such as AP Bio, AP Chem, Mol Bio, Orgo, Gen Chem, and Biochem.

    Frequently asked questions

    I believe that all students have a very good idea of what content they are and are not comfortable with. It is important to first figure out where one's weaknesses are. Next, we must work together to develop a plan for tackling content that is especially difficult. These plans often rely on time with me to go over the content, but time spent running practice problems is often key to fully understanding the material. I hope to find the right mix of reviewing material and running practice problems in order to improve testing performance.

    I have a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Chemistry from UNC. I've spent three years performing novel molecular biology and biochemistry research. Through this experience I've seen first hand how core concepts in the natural sciences are used practically. I've also published peer-reviewed research on education habits in STEM. In particular I've studied how active learning approaches - teaching techniques involving problem solving - help students learn challenging science topics. Additionally, I've created content for the molecular biology curriculum at UNC, so I have a very good idea of the mindset of the authors who actually write science exams.

    In December a friend and I hiked Humphrey's Peak in Arizona. It was a very challenging and cold experience. We enjoyed some really beautiful sights and met a nice couple on the way up. The couple had a large German Sheppherd who was wearing little leather shoes to protect him from the snow. It was an amazing day, and at the end of it we ate the best mexican food at Agave in Flagstaff. We ended the day in our tents which we pitched near a river in Sedona.

    I would say, "hire me. I am very passionate about what I teach, I can explain things in a way that often takes place as a conversation, and I am very flexible with price!"
