"I am a Ph.D. biomedical scientist specializing in biology tutoring, molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, neuroscience, and scientific writing. As an instructor at MIT, I taught wet lab techniques in systems physiology and cell and molecular biology to more than 300 students, emphasizing both practical laboratory skills and deep conceptual understanding.

My instruction covers critical concepts behind laboratory techniques, scientific literature evaluation, and effective scientific writing for laboratory reports, research publications, and theses. I have mentored students at every level—high school, undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and graduate—in research design, technical laboratory skills, and academic writing excellence.

My extensive research experience spans cellular and molecular neuroscience, cell and molecular biology, developmental biology, cancer biology, epigenetics, genetics, animal behavior, and physiology. This hands-on background allows me to teach students how to design rigorous experiments, formulate testable hypotheses, answer biological questions, and critically evaluate scientific literature like experienced researchers.

I focus on fostering critical thinking skills and teaching students to think like scientists. My approach goes beyond memorization—students learn to ask probing questions that deepen their understanding of biological principles and reveal the "why" behind concepts. This prepares students for success in essay questions, laboratory practicals, standardized tests, and independent research.

As an experienced scientific writer and editor with numerous publications, I teach the art of crafting clear laboratory reports, research papers, and theses. I work with high school students, college students, and adults seeking to build strong foundations in biological sciences. Whether you need help with general biology, advanced molecular techniques, research projects, or scientific writing, I provide personalized instruction tailored to your goals." less...
