M.D. Available to Tutor Biology, Chemistry, Math, MCAT Prep., Reading

I am available to tutor high school and college students in science, math., biology, chemistry, MCAT. prep. I have helped many students in the past achieve their goal of becoming a physician. I am a plastic surgeon waiting for my New York medical license to be processed. I practiced in New York from 1984 to 2000 and in Fayetteville, North Carolina from 2000 to 2010. I love working with students who are eager to learn but are having difficulty keeping up or understanding the material.

Biology

I truly have a love for biology. It is all around us. My background in biology includes everything from the first year college course to advanced courses like zoology and genetics. I am able to help you understand the mitochondria and all its processes. Protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism will be clearly explained according to the level of your textbook and class. Biochemistry is not difficult when you have a qualified teacher. I was a biology lab. assistant for each college biology course... Read More

Chemistry

My experience in chemistry begins with general college chemistry. The textbook was by Nitz. My grade was an A. I have completed many college and post graduate courses in chemistry including biochemistry, qualitative analysis, quantitative analysis, and organic chemistry. The science of Chemistry begins with the periodic table and continues into the gas, temperature, volume laws and beyond. It is a fun science but can be a challenge without the basics. I can help you enjoy this science that we... Read More

Reading

I completed a course in specialized reading at Harvard University during my undergraduate years. I also did the same at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. The focus was on both comprehension and speed. The essence of a good reader is not just speed but also vocabulary, enunciation, semantics and retention of the material read. All of the these are needed for understanding of reading material. I read four to five books monthly at the present time.

Psychology

I am a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. At the present time I tutor students while the application for my New York medical license is processed. I received honors in my college Psychology course. This was a 4 hour credit course. In medical school the course is part of the second and third year curriculum. Again I received an honors grade while in medical school also. I have a genuine interest in this field.

Anatomy

I am a board certified plastic surgeon. I have taught medical students over the years at Downstate Medical Center, Lutheran Medical Center and Lenox Hill Hospital. I am very familiar with Human Anatomy since I am a surgeon and have been certified in my field for over twenty years. I have a genuine love for teaching people in the science and math fields. Anatomy and Physiology are disciplines surgeons must excel in to be granted certification by The American Board of Plastic Surgery. My most recent... Read More

Physiology

When one mentions physiology, anatomy must follow. This portion of biology is concerned with body function. This involves each of the ten or more body systems from neuroendocrine to the electrical activity of the heart and skin physiology. It is truly wonderful when you see how dependent each system is on the other and what happens when there is pathology in one or more systems. I can help you understand the function of each system and realize what occurs when there are errors in this relationship... Read More

GED

The GED exam comprises five different tests: "Language Arts: Writing", "Social Studies", "Science", "Language Arts: Reading" and "Mathematics". The writing portion requires the student to write an essay. All parts of the test are timed and have a minimum passing score. Scores range from 200- 800 on each part. Generally 410 on each sub-test is considered passing. 2250 for the test as a whole is currently considered passing. I will work with applicants for this exam with each subject to ensure that...

Nursing

I completed a residency in general surgery and a residency in plastic surgery. I am board certified in plastic surgery. I was recently re-certified in plastic surgery. My score was 96 percentile. I can teach the basic and clinical sciences needed to pass your nursing board examinations. I can teach you the practical pearls such as crutch walking and math conversion from metric to regular math. I've taught nursing students, medical students and resident physicians at New York premier hospitals... Read More

PSAT

The new PSAT measures three areas, math, critical reading and writing skills. The time allotted is 130 minutes. Each section has scores that range from 20-80 points with the total maximum being 240 points. It does not have math above level I Algebra. The PSAT does not have an essay like the SAT. I can teach you how to score high on each section. Critical reading will be emphasized by me and writing skills along with math. I will show you how reading and writing ability can help you obtain a high... Read More

Botany

I completed a Botany course during college. The course was a 5 hour credit course. I feel competent in the discipline.

MCAT

I would like to get certified to teach preparation for this exam. for premedical students. I took the test in the 1970's and it has changed considerably since then. I am however certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. I was re-certified by the board in 2005. I did not score less than 90 percentile in any area. My highest score was 96 percentile. There are fewer than 8,000 board certified plastic surgeons in the United States.

Nutrition

I am a physician who enjoys working with students who have an interest in science. I have been board certified in plastic surgery since 1995. This field continues to evolve. It involves knowing more than about fats, proteins, carbohydrates and minerals. It involves food groups and portions. Biochemistry and Cell Biology courses at Meharry Medical College, Harvard University and UNC, Chapel Hill, N.C. have left me well grounded in this field. I also welcome any certification exam in Nutrition. Read More
