Biostatistics
I have taken two levels of Biostatistics: One in undergraduate and another in graduate school. I aced both of these courses and would love to teach either to anyone who has difficulty understanding the subject. In my 14 years of research I have always used to statistics to test my hypotheses. My work has been published in peer reviewed journals. Hence, I can seriously help you with Biostatistics.
Chemistry
I have a Ph.D in Genetics.
Chemistry is my favorite subject. Actually I was the top chemistry student in high school and college. More importantly, I taught chemistry in high school and college.
I AM TEACHING IT NOW.
Furthermore, I took the GRE and MCAT so I can really help you score high in these tests as well.
You certainly won't be disappointed.
English
I have a Ph.D in Genetics and have published peer reviewed articles in international journals.
I teach English as I teach my favorite subject, Biology.
Without proper language no one can do well in his or her profession.
I took aptitude tests like TOEFL, SAT, GRE and MCAT. So I can also help you score high in English (and other parts) there.
You certainly won't be disappointed.
ESL/ESOL

Genetics
I earned my B.S. in biology from LAU and followed that with a Ph.D. In Genetics and Developmental biology from WVU, My research at WVU was on DNA damage and Multiple Sclerosis. At WVU, I also was a graduate teaching assistant, helping anatomy and histology medical and dental students learn their materials.
With discoveries made as a graduate student, I followed my interest in cancer stem cell biology at Columbia University in New York. There, I became proficient in genomics and proteomics, genetic engineering and stem cell biology.
At Columbia, I engineered a mouse embryonic stem cell to carry two genetic cassettes bearing an inducible breakage site to study DNA damage and repair.
Following Columbia, I moved to MD Anderson in Houston to continue my cancer stem cell research. I was training in epigenetics to study cancer stem dells. Epigenetics is the study of gene regulation and inheritance independent of DNA sequence. It is like learning what makes a skin cell, having the same DNA material as a neuron, different from a neuron or a muscle cell.
I have several peer reviewed publications that you can find in the National Library of Medicine.
GRE
I have a Ph.D in Genetics and spent 14 years in college teaching and doing research.
Graduate studies are my expertise.
I took the GRE (and other aptitude tests like SAT and MCAT) before and scored in top percentile.
Kaplan is great, I had the chance to teach with them but hours were not matching.
If you need a private tutor, you certainly won't be disappointed.
MCAT
I graduated with a B.S. in Biology and took the MCAT in the past and got a good score however I did not pursue my medical degree.
I recently interviewed with Kaplan to teach the MCAT but I could not go to Lubbock for that.
I'll be very happy to teach this test to someone living in and around 15 miles of Houston's medical center.
Microbiology
In addition to taking microbiology in college, my first research experience as a Genetics graduate student was in a microbiology laboratory. There I spent six months working on bacterial genetics.
Organic Chemistry
I took organic chemistry I and II as required for my B.S. degree. I was one of the top chemistry students in college and I taught private chemistry lessons to high school kids.
Philosophy
Philosophy is a subject that fascinates me and I think everyone should be required to take it.
I was the top student in philosophy in high school and college.
Discussing theories of human and animal behavior, religion, science, intelligence, life is of utmost enriching to the mind.
I will be glad to be your philosophy tutor.
