Kelvin: Clifton tutor
Certified Tutor
Hi, I'm Dr. Kelvin Tsao, a passionate science educator with over 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience across Canada and Japan. I hold a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and Chemistry, and I specialize in making complex scientific conceptsfrom organic chemistry to MCAT prepaccessible, intuitive, and even fun.
My teaching philosophy is student-centered and results-driven. Whether I'm guiding a third-year university student through reaction mechanisms or helping a high schooler prep for final exams, I focus on building confidence through clear explanations, personalized strategies, and active learning. I've mentored students who've gone on to publish in high-impact journals, ace their MCATs, or gain admission to top graduate programs.
If you're looking for someone who understands not only the science but also how students learn best, I'm here to help you succeed.

Outside of teaching, I’m an avid snowboarder and volleyball player who loves staying active and connecting with others through sports. I’m also passionate about psychology and how people learn, which fuels my commitment to helping students grow both academically and personally. In my downtime, you’ll find me gaming with friends, exploring new cuisines, or seeking out the best local eats—good food and good conversation are my favorite ways to unwind.
