Paul
Calculus Tutor • +44 Subjects
I am a graduate of Brown University, where I completed a double major in biology and public health, and received honors in the biological sciences.
Toshiki
Calculus Tutor • +18 Subjects
I am a science writer and podcaster with a rigorous academic background who is passionate about sharing my knowledge of chemistry with curious minds. I earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry and Asian art history from UC Berkeley and completed a PhD in inorganic chemistry at MIT. I have five years of experience teaching college-level general and organic chemistry courses at various institutions in California, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas, and hope to expand on my experience as a private tutor. Often a required subject for other classes, chemistry is often considered "the central science" as it's related to biology and physics, and I appreciate that chemical principles can be observed throughout daily life from cooking to medicine to electronics. I believe that education is the world's greatest social equalizer and hope that my students learn to make new connections between classes and other aspects of their life. Outside of science, I love dogs, food, and the outdoors.

I am looking to use my passion for Chemistry and teaching to help students excel. I recently took the MCAT exam and I am currently applying to medical school. I look forward to helping you or your child succeed in Math and Science.
Matthew
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +67 Subjects
I am currently conducting breast cancer research as the lab manager in an immunology lab at Columbia University Medical Center. I am extremely comfortable with physics and mathematics (from my studies) as well as biology, chemistry, and biochemistry (through my research experience) and sincerely enjoy tutoring students in those areas. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized tests. While I was studying for the SAT, ACT, and MCAT, all of my preparation was through self-study; as a result, I have a unique approach to preparing for tests that emphasizes knowing the test itself more than the actual material. In addition to tutoring natural sciences and standardized test prep, I tutor Spanish, which I studied for 7 years and spoke for a year while living in Spain. In my spare time, I play guitar, cook for my friends, read, and play with my cat Suki.
Maha

I am currently a graduate student at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. My teaching experience spans several years and age groups. As a high school student, I volunteered as a teaching assistant for a middle school science class. During college, I spent six months as a GED tutor, working with adults. Later, I spent two years as an Organic Chemistry Laboratory teaching assistant. I am a friendly and outgoing person, and I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. I particularly like working with middle school and high school students, as I can challenge them and help them build strong foundations during some of their most important academic years!

Thomas
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +96 Subjects
I am also working towards a career in molecular biology, I use math and science every day, and I can explain real-world applications and uses for these subjects that may not seem obvious. By demonstrating the use of math and science in everyday life, I am able to help interact with the student and increase their interest in a subject in which they may experience difficulty. I also believe that as a tutor, it is my responsibility to engage with the student to help them achieve and even surpass their goals. In my spare time, I am heavily involved with music in New York City, being part of multiple choirs and continuing to play piano. I also enjoy exercising and exploring the city whenever I have the chance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding is what matters. While biochemistry involves learning metabolic pathways like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, memorizing steps without grasping why they happen makes it nearly impossible to apply concepts to new problems or exams.
Personalized tutoring focuses on building true comprehension—connecting the logic of enzyme mechanisms, energy transfer, and regulation to the actual chemical principles involved. This deeper understanding makes both studying and exams significantly less overwhelming, since you're recognizing patterns rather than relying on rote memory.
One of the biggest challenges in biochemistry is picturing three-dimensional molecules and dynamic processes like protein folding or enzyme-substrate interactions. Tutors excel at breaking down abstract concepts into digestible pieces—using drawings, models, analogies, and step-by-step walkthroughs to make the invisible visible.
When you can actually see why a molecule bends that way or how an enzyme active site works, the entire subject becomes clearer and more memorable. This visual and conceptual clarity directly translates to stronger exam performance and lab work.
Biochemical equations often feel tricky because they involve balancing atoms, tracking oxidation states, and understanding energy currency (ATP, NADH, etc.) all at once. Tutors help by teaching you the systematic approach: identify what's being oxidized and reduced, balance atoms methodically, and connect the equation to the biological purpose of the reaction.
With guided practice and real-time feedback, you'll move from struggling with each problem to recognizing patterns across similar reactions. This builds both confidence and speed, essential skills for exams and authentic lab scenarios.
The best biochemistry tutoring bridges the gap between theory and practice. For example, understanding glycolysis isn't just about memorizing 10 steps—it's recognizing how cells generate energy and how that process can be disrupted in disease, exploited in medicine, or harnessed in biotechnology.
Tutors connect pathways to real scenarios: why cancer cells have different metabolic needs, how diabetes affects glucose regulation, or how antibiotics target bacterial metabolism. This application-based learning deepens your conceptual grasp, makes the material more engaging, and prepares you for upper-level courses and research.
Absolutely. Strong biochemistry tutors support both the theoretical and experimental sides of the discipline. They help you understand the why behind lab protocols—what each step accomplishes, what could go wrong, and how to interpret results—rather than just following instructions mechanically.
This integrated approach means you'll design better experiments, troubleshoot more effectively, and connect your lab observations back to the molecular principles you're learning in class. The result is deeper learning and more confidence moving from bench work to data analysis and interpretation.
An excellent biochemistry tutor combines subject mastery with strong teaching skills. Look for tutors who can explain complex mechanisms clearly, ask probing questions to build understanding rather than just giving answers, and adapt their explanations to your learning style.
The best tutors also connect concepts across units—showing how enzyme kinetics relates to metabolic regulation, or how protein structure determines function. They should be comfortable with both the theoretical frameworks and the practical applications, and patient enough to work through challenging concepts multiple times in different ways until they click.
With consistent, personalized tutoring, most students see measurable improvements in understanding within a few weeks—solving problems more confidently, connecting concepts across units, and retaining material longer. Over a semester or year, strong tutoring typically leads to improved exam scores, stronger performance in lab courses, and a genuine grasp of biochemical principles that sticks with you into advanced coursework.
Perhaps most importantly, students often shift from feeling overwhelmed and memorization-dependent to feeling in control, curious, and capable of tackling unfamiliar problems using fundamental principles. This confidence and conceptual foundation make all your future science courses more manageable.
