"Hello Potential Students. I have learned and taught pharmacology, biology (general bio, metabolism bio, cellular bio, nucleic acid bio), physiology/pathophysiology and some biochemistry for 20 years in 3 state universities and one private school. Pharmacology is my primary subject. I also work as a licensed pharmacy technician so I understand pharmacy practice as well as theory. I have passed the PTCE (Pharmacy Technician Certification Examination) and am PTCB-Certified. I take pride in being able to coach a "D" or "C" average to a "B" or "A". For those having difficulty in a course, my approach is to breakdown complex material into digestible pieces so you can recover from a bad exam day and will not wreck your entire grade.

As part of instructing, I have written exam questions for 20 years so I know what tends to be assessed and how. This helps us design the best approach to learning material efficiently and applying it. Strategically, I like to look at your course syllabus and understand what sub-disciplines are taught, in what depth and detail and how they are assessed. I will help you be organized, pick out important details, and learn from experiences, good and bad. Thank you for reading this!

I have also taught basic sciences and conducted federally funded research at 4 institutions including professional doctoral-granting schools. The research taught me what parts of science are important to know and what parts are more for "reference". Perhaps because I streamline material, I was fortunate enough to be voted teaching awards by students at all 4 institutions. I have also served and chaired the Admissions Committee for a School of Veterinary Medicine, so I know what is expected for acceptance into professional programs.

As I described above, my approach to tutoring is to mentor as well as teach/review. We have to develop a working strategy that respects your time, yet boosts your course success and builds your subject knowledge and skills." less...
