"Hello! I'm Colin, an experienced tutor specializing in basic sciences and dentistry. I combine a strong academic background with hands-on experience to help students master complex material and reach their academic goals.

I earned my B.S. in Biochemistry from Stony Brook University, scored in the 90th percentile on the DAT, and graduated in the top 3% of my class at NYU College of Dentistry. Currently, I’m a surgical resident at UCSF, where I continue to build on my academic and clinical expertise. With over five years of tutoring experience, I’ve helped high school, college, and dental students develop a deep understanding of scientific and dental concepts. My approach is always tailored to each student’s unique learning style, with the goal of building both confidence and competence.

I provide support across a wide range of subjects, including biology, biochemistry, general chemistry, anatomy, and physiology. I also offer comprehensive DAT prep, guidance for dental school applications, and ongoing support for dental students navigating their coursework.

In my sessions, I emphasize true understanding over memorization. I break down complex topics into manageable, relatable ideas, helping students form a solid foundation in the material. At the same time, I know that academic success also depends on effective test-taking, so I incorporate exam strategies, practice questions, and real-world applications to boost performance.

My goal is to help students build confidence, sharpen critical thinking, and achieve success both in the classroom and beyond. Whether you're preparing for an exam or pursuing a career in dentistry, I’m here to support your journey every step of the way." less...
