"Hello! My name is Collin. I am an enthusiastic educator with extensive training in the biological sciences and a strong track record of mentoring and teaching students. I specialize in tutoring basic sciences, pre-med coursework, and medical school content.

I am currently a fourth-year medical student at UCLA. Before medical school, I completed a PhD in Neuroscience and graduated summa cum laude with bachelor’s degrees in Biology and Biochemistry. This academic background allows me to teach a wide range of foundational and advanced science topics.

I have substantial teaching experience across multiple levels and settings. I previously taught General Chemistry for The Princeton Review, leading classrooms of college students through structured, interactive lessons. I also served as a Teaching Assistant for the Systems Neuroscience course at Mount Sinai, where I developed course materials, led review sessions, and supported students one-on-one. At UCLA, I contribute to curriculum development and tutor first- and second-year medical students in the Scientific Foundations of Medicine course.

My teaching approach is highly individualized. I work with each student to identify their learning style and develop an efficient study plan. I focus on breaking down complex topics, promoting active recall, building strong conceptual understanding, and emphasizing high-yield content that consistently appears on exams. Whether you're looking to improve class performance, prepare for standardized tests, or deepen your understanding of difficult subjects, I will guide you step-by-step toward your goals.

I maintain a flexible schedule and respond to questions promptly. Please feel free to reach out anytime. I look forward to working together and helping you achieve your academic goals!" less...
