Her biology degree and organic chemistry background let her unpack dense topics like enzyme mechanisms and pathway regulation by building from the underlying chemistry rather than asking students to memorize arrows on a diagram.

Pursuing a Ph.D. in biochemistry at Drexel means Sam lives inside this subject — enzyme kinetics, protein folding, metabolic pathways, and biomolecular interactions aren't exam topics to review but daily research problems to solve. Students struggling with something like the citric acid cycle or Michaelis-Menten kinetics get explanations grounded in real lab experience, not just textbook summaries.

Enzyme kinetics, metabolic regulation, and protein structure-function relationships are the backbone of biochemistry — and they're exactly what Kimberly spent her time at UNC Chapel Hill digging into as a biology major with a biochemistry focus. She tackles problems by walking through the underlying chemistry of each biological process, so students understand why a Lineweaver-Burk plot looks the way it does instead of just memorizing the graph.

I am open to tutoring in a broad range of subjects, including Algebra, Spanish I/II, ESL and Biology (SAT II, AP, and MCAT).

Kevin earned his bachelor's in biochemistry and is now in medical school, so metabolic pathways, enzyme kinetics, and protein structure aren't just textbook topics for him — they're concepts he uses constantly. He breaks down complex cycles like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle into logical sequences rather than brute-force memorization lists. Rated 5.0 by students.

I am currently a second year medical student. I was a Physiological Sciences major at UCLA (class of 2015), and pursued research during my gap year between undergrad and medical school.

I am a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Neuroscience and an informal concentration in Artificial Intelligence. I also have a degree in Medicine from St. George's University. I have pursued biomedical research, and since turned an interest in tutoring that began while I was a student into a professional calling. I have tutored for a private tutoring company, for schools as a student tutor, and privately for individuals. While I am exceptionally well versed in Math and the Sciences, I also excel in Reading Comprehension, Writing, and have successfully tutored those subjects.

Over a year of tutoring organic chemistry through UT Austin's Engineering Student Services gave Felipe a deep fluency with the reaction mechanisms that underpin biochemistry — the nucleophilic attacks in metabolic intermediates, the carbonyl chemistry driving the citric acid cycle, and the functional group transformations that distinguish one pathway step from the next. As a biomedical engineering major on the pre-med track, he's currently synthesizing this material across his own coursework, which means he knows exactly which mechanistic details professors test and which shortcuts actually hold up under pressure.

Cassandra's biology degree gives her the cellular and molecular grounding to teach biochemistry from the chemistry up — she walks through topics like enzyme regulation and metabolic intermediates by connecting each reaction to the organic chemistry driving it. Seven years of tutoring math and science across middle school through college means she's seen where students lose the thread, especially when pathways like gluconeogenesis start layering on exceptions and reversals. Rated 4.9 by students.

Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and amino acid chemistry all converge in biochemistry, and keeping them straight requires more than flashcards. Kaitlyn tackles these topics daily in medical school, so she teaches Michaelis-Menten plots, glycolysis intermediates, and protein structure with the kind of fluency that comes from constant use rather than distant memory.

Four years of medical school means Jordan has cycled through biochemistry multiple times — first mastering it for premed coursework, then again for the MCAT, and again for USMLE Step 1 — each pass deepening his grasp of how pathways like the urea cycle and oxidative phosphorylation connect to clinical medicine. That layered repetition lets him teach metabolic integration the way it actually gets tested: not as isolated reactions, but as interconnected systems where disrupting one enzyme cascades through the whole picture. Rated 5.0 by students.

David's neuroscience training at Yale meant wrestling with biochemistry from the nervous system's perspective — neurotransmitter synthesis, ion channel biophysics, and the metabolic demands that make the brain consume a disproportionate share of the body's glucose.
