I am a semi-retired physician scientist who enjoys teaching. I have my medical degree and PhD from University of Washington, Seattle. I am a board certified in both Pediatrics and Genetics and my PhD is in Biochemistry. I never would have gone down my career path if I did not have teachers early on who had a passion for science. In order to give back some of the inspiration that I received, I am dedicated to helping encourage those who are also invested in pursuing a career in science and medicine. I tutor all different levels, ranging from middle school science and math through postgraduate board reviews.

Given my degrees, I'm also an expert test-taker and have helped prep students for a wide variety of different board exams. Most recently, I tutored an individual who had failed her physics ultrasound board exam 12 times. She passed after working with me for 5 weeks. She was bright and was very good at her job, but she was a poor test taker.

I have published both scientific research papers and clinical reports. My CV is available upon request. Many people working in science today don't receive enough mentoring to put together a publication or English is their second language. I instruct how to put together a paper for publication and help write the paper if needed. In addition, I will help you use Endnote which is a reference manager program used by many universities.

Microsoft PowerPoint

Let me help you get your presentation together so you can worry about what is being said rather than worry about how you are going to say it.
I started using PowerPoint in 1998 and since then routinely use PowerPoint for teaching, presenting at local, national and international conferences, and for web conferencing. I also help out several of my colleagues when they need to create a PowerPoint presentation. My background is in Medical Sciences and so I have some special programs that I use... Read More

ASVAB

Need to get a specific score to get into the military branch of your choice? Let me help you with the core AFQT section. In addition to reviewing the material that you need to know on the test, we will also review approaches to problem solving. This will speed up your test taking pace, enabling you to spend more time working through the difficult problems. Need a specific line score, we can go through the spatial resolution and mechanical/engineering subtests. Rate is usually discounted to $30/hr... Read More

MCAT

I have successfully passed the MCAT's with a score high enough to get interviews at almost all of the top medical schools for an MD PhD position. While that was some time ago, I have had to successfully complete many other standardized tests including Medical Boards Part 1, 2, 3, and specialty medical boards in Pediatrics and Clinical Genetics. I have successfully tutored many individuals who were at risk of not passing their board exams. I can advise on exam taking strategies and help you with... Read More

NCLEX

I am a semi-retired physician scientist (MD with board certification in Pediatrics and Clinical Genetics, and PhD in Biochemistry) who enjoys teaching and has a natural talent in taking and teaching board certification exams. There is a significant amount of content overlap between the sections of the nursing board exams and the medical board exams. For many of the concepts I can provide real-life examples. The format of the computer adapted testing used by the NCLEX exams takes some additional... Read More

Public Speaking

Growing up, I had a strong lisp and was always embarrassed when I would have to speak in public. I got over my fear by joining every public speaking group activity that was available. I now have presented at national and international conferences over the past two decades. In addition, I have worked with many individuals who have also had to present in front of national and international audiences. I provide critique on the manner of presentation, how clear the main points are presented, style... Read More

COOP/HSPT

I am experienced in teaching many different age groups for placement and board exams. The COOP and HSPT exams are similar to many other placement exams. They have a greater emphasis on logic and analytical questions than other exams which are my strongest sections. When I took the PSAT exam, I scored a perfect 800 and received a National Merit Scholarship. I try to use methods that make learning more fun including flash cards that can be used in a competitive game in a group setting, using different... Read More

Genetics

I am a physician who is Board Certified in Clinical Genetics. I also have a PhD Biochemistry and have engaged in Molecular Biology/Genetic research for more than two decades. I have coauthored papers on Clinical Presentations of Genetic defects and research papers in genetics. I was an Assistant Professor with Baylor College of Medicine, Department of Molecular and Clinical Genetics for five years.

Microbiology

I am a semi-retired physician and scientist. I have completed graduate level microbiology classes in addition to passing the microbiology sections on medical board exams. My PhD is in Biochemistry with research involving cell culture and cloning technologies that involve the understanding and application of microbiology principles.

Organic Chemistry

I received A's in organic chemistry in college and scored well on my MCAT exam. I am a semi-retired physician scientist (MD - Board certified in Clinical Genetics and Pediatrics and PhD in Biochemistry). My clinical work as a Pediatric Geneticist applies organic chemistry to patient care during the diagnosis and treatment of patients with metabolic defects while my research applies organic chemistry at the molecular level. In addition to being able to teach organic chemistry, I have the advantage... Read More

Pharmacology

I am a semi-retired physician (Pediatrics and Clinical Genetics)and scientist (PhD in Biochemistry). I have a passed a graduate level pharmacology course in addition to passing Medical Board exams which contain sections on pharmacology. I have a special interest in pharmacogenetics and exploring how CYP enzyme variability in the population needs to be accounted for when prescribing medication.

TEAS

The TEAS test is similar to other college entrance exams with several important differences. The newest version TEAS V contains more cell biology and genetics and on science in general than previous versions. As a PhD in biochemistry and an MD specializing in clinical genetics I have a great deal of experience in this area. The life sciences test on major organ systems which I am able to teach with a clinical perspective. The math has general concepts but also a section of conversion of measurements... Read More

AFOQT

While I am not military, I have extensive experience in standardized exam preparation and test taking skills.
