"Hi, I'm Nora! I graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences, and a minor in Health and Medical Humanities. I have a strong background in biochemistry, physiology, and chemical biology. My research experience includes chemical synthesis of fluorescent probes to investigate cellular functions, which has strengthened my ability to explain complex biological and chemical concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. Additionally, my preparation for the MCAT has given me an in-depth understanding of high-yield topics, particularly in Biology and Biochemistry.

I have 1 year of tutoring experience, working with college students at Eastern Illinois University. I specialize in one-on-one tutoring, tailoring my teaching approach to each student's learning style—whether it’s breaking down complex topics with real-world examples, using active recall techniques, or guiding students through practice problems step by step. I intend to expand my experience by helping college students strengthen their Biology/Biochemistry skills, assisting with exam prep, and mentoring high school students.

My goal as a tutor is to simplify difficult concepts, boost student confidence, and create a structured learning plan that leads to success. Whether you’re looking for help in biology coursework, exam prep, or exam strategy, I am here to support you in reaching your academic goals. Let’s work together to make science more approachable and rewarding!" less...
