About Me

m Mikie (My Key). I have been tutoring biology since 2015. I earned my Biology MA from Hunter College in 2023. Before this, I graduated with a Biology BA from UC Berkeley and have took continuing education courses in human anatomy and human physiology as well as medical level courses in biochemistry, pathophysiology, and pharmacology. I currently teach A&P lab and recitation at a university. I have been working for Varsity Tutors since 2015. In 2020, I had the pleasure to teach over 100 high school biology students at a school in New York City as a high long-term substitute biology teacher. I have dedicated much of my life to helping others, having been a part of hospitals, a non-profit organization for bird of prey rehabilitation, and a college learning resource center. The areas I tutor are biology, microbiology, anatomy, and physiology. These include honors biology, AP Biology, and IB Biology HL. I will sometimes accept tutoring requests of other biology subjects if I have taken them myself. Of all of these subjects, I most enjoy tutoring physiology because I find how the body functions extremely interesting and there are numerous medical applications to the field. I can tutor Survey of Natural Science Biology from the OAT and biology from the MCAT. I do not tutor NBEO. I cater mainly to visual-auditory learners because I tend to organize information into simple charts and diagrams sometimes, I even draw out processes. If you stick around the extra half hour, I may have time to test you with and go over practice problems. I firmly believe patience, practice, and persistence contribute to a more effective style of learning. My goal is teach college-level biological science courses as a long-term career.
