About

Teaching is a practice I am very passionate about! Helping students in topics that have shaped my career is something I aim to do for the rest of my life. As an undergraduate student at Michigan State University, I was a teaching assistant for cellular and molecular biology for 18 months where I gave lectures, lead class discussions, and tutored in small group and one-on-one settings. As a graduate student at Boston University School of Medicine, a critical aspect of my program were its teaching components. I had the opportunity to teach medical students in gross anatomy and medical neuroscience in many different capacities, building on my previous skills in one-on-one, small group, and large group settings. During graduate school I created and administered a hands-on lesson about the neuroanatomy and function of the brainstem for first year medical students. Now I am a medical student at Michigan State University College of Human Medicine! Overall, I have an extensive background in teaching within Anatomy, Neurobiology, and the biological sciences. My graduate degree formally qualifies me to teach Anatomy and Neurobiology at undergraduate and professional institutions. Aside from my training however, I just want to enjoy the teaching/learning experience! Teaching is something I love, and I do not aim to do it in a boring manner. I aim to learn about my students and show them the subject matter in a way that works for them.

    Nick is a kind person who is good at instruction. The artery drawing does help me a lot, as well as the periodical plan.

    Nick was great at integrating information from multiple disciplines to help me understand biological processes at a deeper level. He helped me succeed in my courses and bridge the concepts that I had learned about in previous classes.

    His organization and thoroughness were incredible, he clearly put a lot of time and thought into what type of learning worked best for me and how he could apply that to the complex material we covered.
    He is so patient no matter how many times I asked him to explain the same concept to me he could always come up with a slightly new way of looking at the concept to help me understand the material.
    He was so understanding and pleasant to work with he always made me feel more optimistic about what felt like a hopelessly difficult class! I left every tutoring session feeling like I could excel at the class!

    Frequently asked questions

    Typically I have an initial 30 minute meeting with the student to discuss objectives, subject matter, their learning style, and generally what they want from this service. Then, we schedule regular meeting dates and goals for our first meeting. 

    Refence bio

    I typically charge starting at $25/hour. This can vary dependent on the level of education and subject matter and level of preparation for tutoring sessions.  

    reference bio

    I have primarily taught high school, undergraduate, graduate, and medical students. 

    Definitely think about your learning style and the type of tutoring method you vibe best with. Is it quizzing, is it white board explanations, is it diagrams or flashcards? And then think about how you want each tutoring session formatted.
