As a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Natural Resource Development from Michigan State University, I have over 16 years of experience specializing in medical coding. My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating a supportive environment where students feel empowered to ask questions and engage deeply with the material. I adopt a hands-on approach, incorporating real-world examples to make complex concepts accessible and relatable. Witnessing my students achieve their goals and develop a passion for medical billing and coding, revenue cycle management, and healthcare policy fuels my motivation. In my free time, I enjoy reading, hiking and exploring nature, which enriches my ability to connect with learners on multiple levels and fosters a sense of curiosity.

Hi I'm Dreama Pinnock and I am a Certified Professional Coder (CPC) with AAPC. Ive graduated with my Masters degree in Healthcare Administration with a specialization in education from the University of Phoenix. I have over 20 years working in the healthcare industry. From entry level to management roles allowing me to lead teams across hospital systems. In these roles I have had the opportunity to mentor and tutor employees in billing and coding in pathology/laboratory services. My journey in this field has been both rewarding and challenging, providing me with a deep understanding of the complexities and nuances of medical coding. I am dedicated to helping students master the skills needed to excel in this profession. My approach to tutoring is rooted in a commitment to clarity, patience, and practical application. I believe that a strong foundation in coding principles, coupled with real-world practice, is essential for success. Therefore, I strive to create a learning environment that is both supportive and challenging, encouraging students to ask questions, think critically, and apply their knowledge in practical scenarios. My goal is to not only prepare students for certification exams but also to equip them with the skills and confidence needed to thrive in their careers. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, staying up-to-date with the latest coding guidelines and best practices. This dedication ensures that my students receive the most current and relevant information, helping them stay ahead in an ever-changing field. In summary, my role as a CPC tutor is more than just a job; it is a calling.

As a dedicated educator with a Master's in Business Administration specializing in Healthcare Administration, I have over ten years of experience tutoring students in math, medical terminology, anatomy & physiology, and, medical billing & coding. My teaching philosophy centers on making complex subjects relatable; for example, I often use everyday scenarios, such as shopping, to illustrate mathematical concepts. This hands-on approach not only simplifies learning but also fosters an engaging and supportive environment. My extensive background includes teaching at Bryant and Stratton College for over 12 years, where during my time here I developed courses in billing and coding, further enhancing my commitment to student success. I am passionate about healthcare trends and coding, which is why I obatin my CPC certification. I continuously seek to enrich my knowledge, ensuring I provide the best, most up-to-date support to my students. With proper guidance and practice, every student can achieve their academic goals.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
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!
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
