My passion for tutoring in the Sciences can help you succeed

My goal is to improve my students understanding and grasp of scientific principles and translate that into better grades. To do so, I work closely with students to identify areas that need improvement and apply teaching methods tailored to fit their learning style.

I hold both a Ph.D. in biophysics from Penn State University and an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry. My teaching and tutoring experience includes the following:
A teaching assistant in undergraduate chemistry at Penn State;
A laboratory assistant in undergraduate chemistry at Thomas Jefferson;
And tutoring undergraduate chemistry students at Penn State.

Furthermore, I have been in the Pharmaceutical Industry for several years and I have a passion for the Sciences. My objective is share this passion with my students, since I receive personal satisfaction when my students succeed in their mastery of the subject matter.

Education

Undergrad, The University of the Sciences in Philadelphia Graduate, PhD, Penn State

Great tutor! — I contacted John in a complete panic after starting a graduate level, online medical biochemistry course. Not only was this challenging course online, with very little contact with the professor, the only grade in the entire course was the final exam. So naturally, it was very important to me that I understand the concepts beyond the typical memorization. John was excellent about breaking down what ...
