Sharon

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Matthew

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Pharmaceutical Sciences combines organic chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, and drug delivery systems—requiring students to master interconnected concepts and apply them to real-world scenarios. Many students struggle with:

  • Bridging theory and application: Understanding how molecular structure affects drug efficacy and safety
  • Complex pharmacokinetics: Grasping absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination (ADME) processes
  • Retaining vast amounts of information: Memorizing drug classes, mechanisms, and clinical uses without understanding underlying principles
  • Laboratory skills: Translating lab work to written reports and connecting experimental results to pharmaceutical principles

Personalized instruction helps by breaking these concepts into digestible pieces, identifying knowledge gaps early, and building connections between topics at your own pace.

Expert tutors in Pharmaceutical Sciences combine deep subject knowledge with the ability to explain complex mechanisms clearly. Look for tutors who:

  • Have strong backgrounds in chemistry, biochemistry, and pharmacology—ideally with pharmacy, pharmaceutical science, or related advanced degrees
  • Can explain drug interactions, ADME processes, and formulation strategies in accessible language
  • Use real clinical examples to illustrate concepts, making abstract ideas tangible
  • Help you develop study strategies for retention and application, not just memorization
  • Can guide lab report writing and help you interpret experimental data meaningfully

Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand both the subject matter and how to teach it effectively at your level.

In a classroom setting, instructors typically move through material at a fixed pace regardless of individual understanding. Personalized instruction is tailored to your specific needs:

  • Targeted pacing: Speed up through topics you grasp quickly and slow down on challenging areas like pharmacokinetics or drug metabolism
  • Customized examples: Focus on drug classes or mechanisms most relevant to your coursework or career goals
  • Immediate feedback: Get clarification on misconceptions right away, rather than carrying confusion forward
  • Flexible problem-solving: Work through exam-style questions, case studies, or lab scenarios based on your actual weaknesses
  • Active learning: Tutors guide you to think critically about mechanisms rather than passively absorbing lectures

This approach accelerates understanding and helps you build confidence in applying Pharmaceutical Sciences concepts independently.

Results depend on your starting point and goals, but students typically see improvements including:

  • Grade improvement: Moving from struggling grades to B/A range on exams and coursework within 6-12 weeks of consistent tutoring
  • Exam performance: Better scores on unit exams, cumulative finals, and standardized assessments (PCAT, pharmacy school prerequisites)
  • Conceptual mastery: Ability to explain mechanisms, predict drug interactions, and solve novel problems rather than relying on memorization
  • Lab competency: Writing clear lab reports that accurately interpret pharmaceutical data and connect findings to theoretical principles
  • Efficiency: Studying smarter in less time by focusing on high-impact concepts and using active recall strategies

Your tutor will help set specific goals at the start and track progress toward them throughout your work together.

Pharmaceutical Sciences programs vary widely—some emphasize medicinal chemistry and drug synthesis, while others focus on pharmacology and clinical therapeutics. Effective tutors:

  • Ask about your specific course objectives, textbook, and instructor's emphasis early on
  • Align sessions with your curriculum timeline, helping you prepare for upcoming exams or projects
  • Support both foundational courses (organic chemistry, biochemistry prerequisites) and advanced topics (medicinal chemistry, biopharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics)
  • Can help with major assessments like cumulative exams, research projects, or pharmacy school prerequisite preparation

When you connect with Varsity Tutors, you'll share your course details so your tutor can customize their approach to match your program's specific requirements and learning outcomes.

The best time to start is whenever you notice a gap between where you are and where you want to be. Consider tutoring if you:

  • Are struggling early: Difficult first exams or concepts signal it's time to get support before material compounds in difficulty
  • Want to excel: Even strong students benefit from personalized instruction to deepen understanding and prepare for pharmacy school or graduate programs
  • Need to catch up: Missed class time, weak prerequisite knowledge, or course changes can create gaps that tutoring fills efficiently
  • Are preparing for high-stakes exams: PCAT, pharmacy school interviews, or cumulative finals benefit from focused, targeted preparation
  • Want confidence in application: If you understand theory but struggle to apply it to case studies or clinical scenarios, targeted practice helps bridge that gap

Starting early is ideal, but tutoring helps at any point in your course.

The right frequency depends on your goals, current understanding, and timeline. Students typically find success with:

  • Maintenance/enrichment: 1 session per week if you're doing well and want deeper understanding
  • Active learning: 2-3 sessions per week while mastering challenging topics or preparing for major exams
  • Intensive preparation: Multiple sessions per week during final exam periods or when catching up on missed material

Many students start with 2-3 sessions weekly, then adjust based on progress and upcoming deadlines. Your tutor will help you find a sustainable rhythm that builds momentum without overwhelming your schedule. Consistency matters more than frequency—regular, focused sessions create better long-term retention than sporadic intensive cramming.
