I am a PhD student at SUNY Downstate Medical Center studying Molecular & Cellular Biology. I graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry. I love to teach, mostly because of the impact of great teachers throughout my academic career. I think learning can be really fun, if teachers think outside the box and really challenge themselves to find novel ways of conveying concepts to students. Tried and true methods are always great in the classroom, but to work one-on-one with students requires a different approach. It's also critical that learning be something students want, not grudgingly sit through, so that their academic success is tied to their ability to understand and engage the material, not to what score they get on an arbitrary test.

Thomas holds both a biochemistry and molecular biology degree and a master's in biology, which means he's worked through the full gauntlet — from amino acid properties and enzyme mechanisms to the regulatory networks controlling gene expression.

I am a graduate of Stony Brook University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a focus on the sciences as I followed a pre-dental course track. Since graduation, I have applied to and been accepted to the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine, which I will be attending starting in August. I had previously been an SAT tutor with a test prep company for two years and I have experience in tutoring college level Physics at my University. As a result of my work experience and college education, I am proficient in all the SAT sections, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, general Essay Writing, Biochemistry, and Psychology. I personally enjoy tutoring SAT Critical Reading and Physics the most. To me, language is beautiful and I love exploring and discussing the mechanics of analyzing literature (as students must do on the Critical Reading Section). Physics, on the other hand, explains many of the wondrous everyday phenomenon around us. As a child, I would often think about why things moved the way they did and physics gave me those answers. I enjoy traveling and have been to several US states, Egypt several times, Australia, Italy, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Some of my most memorable experiences include scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef and sky diving. I speak Arabic semi-fluently and I enjoy reading and training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing. Overall, I am very approachable and patient and will do my best to serve you as a tutor!
