Award-Winning Bioinformatics Tutors serving Beaverton, OR

I received my MS and PhD in Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology (CMPP) at University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) in Rochester, NY. My interest in both pharmacology and drug discovery led to my endeavor of achieving novel cell signaling pathways that can steer the wheel of developing therapeutical means for cancerous diseases. For in-person sessions: I am vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19.

Hey! My name is Ramsey, and I'm excited to tutor various subjects, from SAT/ACT prep to high school and college-level STEM courses. I have a strong background in educating high school and university-level students, and I pride myself on catering to students' diverse learning styles! As a student with late-diagnosed ADHD, it is my mission to create engaging lessons and inspire students to become advocates in their learning.

...experience working as a tutor, mentor, and research assistant, where I have had to encounter difficult situations and develop actionable strategies to navigate them. Everyone processes information differently, and I hope to make the learning process as stress-free and engaging as possible. As someone pursuing a career in science research, I ensure that all of my teaching methods are supported by current research in both psychology and education. Whatever level you are at, I will...

...feel confident and prepared for their exams. At Varsity Tutors, I'm planning to primarily specialize in SAT/ACT tutoring, my favorite subject being Math. I have extensive experience in math all the way back from doing math competitions in middle and high school to now doing my graduate studies in Computational Biology. I believe I am capable of getting even students who don't consider themselves as "math people" to do great on SAT and ACT math...

...family. My teachers were some of the most positive influences in my life, and I want to pass on their legacy by helping students succeed. I have three years of experience tutoring college chemistry, and one year tutoring statistics. I have a PhD in microbiology, and use statistical modeling in my research. Additionally, I have taught science majors and non-majors at ASU and MCC as an instructor and as a teaching assistant for four years....

...Education. As a first-generation, non-traditional student, I am able to relate to, and enjoy learning with, people from all walks of life. I have more than a decade of experience working with youth in the public education setting, plus three decades of parenting experience. Due, in part, to my passion for inquiry learning, I was chosen to train all secondary science teachers in my six-county area in the implementation of new science standards. I also...

...Virginia Tech as well as a PhD in Human Genetics from the University of Pittsburgh. During both my degrees, I gained experience tutoring college level students in any and all general science courses, including biology, microbiology, chemistry, analytical chemistry, physical chemistry, genetics, microbial genetics, and human genetics. My favorite subject to tutor is biochemistry or anything genetics related. Both subjects often present as little puzzles with tons of interacting pieces and I have grown to...

...chemistry and microbiology. My most significant teaching experience includes leading laboratory courses through Austin Community College at the University of Texas in 2018 and serving as a graduate student instructor at the University of California, Berkeley, from 2019 to 2021, which was lecture-based. I have significant experience teaching (marine) chemistry and biology as well as microbial biotechnology. As such, I frequently assisted students individually with understanding the course material through office hours and after classes....

...which allowed me to come up with creative teaching strategies, such as building a cardboard model of a cell instead of looking at a cell through a microscope. Additionally, I have a 4-year old son with autism, have a deep understanding of his learning struggles, and have learned a wide variety of strategies to help him learn at his full potential. Thank you for taking the time to read about by background; I am excited...
