Biology, Chemistry, Anatomy, And Biomedical Research Tutoring
About
After earning a BS in psychology and a MS in biomedical sciences, I worked in cardiothoracic surgical device research for 2 years. My general expertise lies in biology, biochemistry, medical research, and medical terminology. My current job is focused on remotely starting clinical trials across the country, but I am based in CVille full time. I have a full year of graduate level anatomy education (including cadaver disection), physiology, biochemistry, biostatistics, and epidemiology.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
The first thing I try to do is understand where the student is, and where they want to get to. I'll quickly review the material they have covered, identify their strengths/weaknesses, and see why they wanted a tutor. My priority is to meet students where they are and work along side them to meet their goals.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
By nature medicine is multidisciplinary, so it might not be biology that you are struggling with, but instead the chemistry concepts it relies on. If you can, look at tutors with a broad spectrum of expertise.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
First and foremost, you should figure out why you want to talk to a teacher. Sometimes, all you need is a different perspective and a friend or a dinner break will help. Secondly, you should have a goal. I know its cliche, but S.M.A.R.T. goals are a good place to start. Without a goal, there is nothing to guide you. Lastly, just ask yourself if tutoring is worth it. For example, it might not be worth it to go from an A to an A+, or sometimes, it can be better to just drop the class.
