I currently work as an undergraduate teaching assistant for General Biology and Anatomy, where I tutor students one on one and host weekly office hours.

I’m a senior at Grand Canyon University finishing my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a premed emphasis. I currently work as an undergraduate teaching assistant for General Biology and Anatomy, where I tutor students one on one and host weekly office hours. The students I work with are college students taking those courses for the first time. My own coursework covers general biology, anatomy, biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, and advanced biochemistry with a lab, along with general chemistry, organic chemistry, and genetics.

Outside of class I have spent two years doing research in two faculty labs. My first project tested how two compounds affect pediatric brain tumor cells, and my current one studies cyanobacteria. I presented that work at the Boston Bacterial Meeting in June 2026. I’m also a Resident Assistant at GCU, so I talk with students every day and often help them make a plan when their classes start to pile up.

When I tutor, I start by having the student walk me through what they already know so I can find where the confusion begins. From there I break the topic into smaller steps and ask them to explain each one back in their own words. I use a lot of practice problems and flashcards instead of rereading notes, because that is how I study for my own science courses. I also like to recommend videos and mnemonics, along with the tips and tricks that helped me when I took these classes myself. Office hours have taught me that the same idea usually needs to be explained two or three different ways before it sticks, so I come ready with more than one. I’m happy to work with high school and college students in biology, chemistry, anatomy, and genetics.

Approved Subjects

Anatomy

Anatomy

I’m an undergraduate teaching assistant for Anatomy at Grand Canyon University, where I tutor students one on one and host weekly office hours. Most of what I help with is learning structures and how they work together, like bones, muscles, and the major body systems. Anatomy takes a lot of memorization, so I share the mnemonics, videos, and study tricks that worked for me when I took the class. I’m a senior biology major on the premed track, and I’m comfortable with both high school and college anatomy.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I completed General Biochemistry at Grand Canyon University and I’m now taking Advanced Biochemistry along with its lab. My research ties in closely too. My current project studies the nitrogenase enzyme in cyanobacteria, and before that I spent a year testing how two compounds affect pediatric brain tumor cells. I can help with topics like amino acids and protein structure, enzymes, and metabolism, and I rely on practice problems and mnemonics to make the pathways easier to remember.
Biology

Biology

I’m an undergraduate teaching assistant for General Biology at Grand Canyon University, where I tutor students one on one and host weekly office hours. I’m a senior biology major on the premed track who has completed General Biology I and II and Genetics, and I’m now taking Molecular and Cellular Biology. I have also spent two years doing research in faculty labs and presented my work at the Boston Bacterial Meeting in 2026. I can help with anything from cell structure and photosynthesis to DNA and evolution, for both high school and college classes.
Chemistry

Chemistry

I’m a senior biology major on the premed track at Grand Canyon University. I have completed [General Chemistry I and II, Organic Chemistry I and II, and] General Biochemistry, and I’m currently taking Advanced Biochemistry along with its lab. I also spent a year doing research with a chemistry and biochemistry professor, testing how two compounds affect pediatric brain tumor cells. I work as a teaching assistant for biology and anatomy, so I already tutor college students every week and know how to break problems into smaller steps.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

’m a senior biology major at Grand Canyon University, and I use math every day in my chemistry and lab courses. I have taken up to calculus at college. I currently tutor college students as a teaching assistant, which has taught me to break problems into small steps and explain the same idea a few different ways. For elementary math I focus on building confidence with the basics, like multiplication tables, fractions, and word problems.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

I’m a senior biology major at Grand Canyon University and a teaching assistant for General Biology and Anatomy, so explaining science is something I do every week. I have also spent two years doing research in faculty labs, which gives me plenty of real examples to make lessons more interesting. For elementary science I keep things simple and hands on, using pictures, short videos, and everyday examples to explain topics like plants and animals, the human body, weather, and states of matter.
Genetics

Genetics

I earned an A in Genetics at Grand Canyon University, where I’m a senior biology major on the premed track. The class covered inheritance patterns, pedigrees, gene linkage, mutations, and how genes are expressed and regulated, and I found that working through lots of practice problems was the best way to learn them. I’m also an undergraduate teaching assistant for General Biology, so I regularly tutor students and hold office hours on Punnett squares, Mendelian inheritance, and DNA replication. Right now I’m taking Molecular and Cellular Biology, which builds on the same material.
Microbiology

Microbiology

For the past year I have done microbiology research in a faculty lab at Grand Canyon University, studying cyanobacteria and the nitrogenase enzyme. I presented a poster on that work, about shape changes in filamentous cyanobacteria, at the Boston Bacterial Meeting in June 2026. I also completed Microbiology with an A. I’m a senior biology major and a teaching assistant for General Biology, so I can help with topics like bacterial structure, growth and metabolism, and lab techniques such as culturing and microscopy.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I’m a senior biology major at Grand Canyon University, and my chemistry and lab courses have me solving equations and working with ratios and unit conversions all the time. I have taken up to calculus at college. As a teaching assistant I tutor college students every week, so I’m used to finding the exact step where someone gets stuck and walking through it slowly. For prealgebra I focus on fractions and decimals, negative numbers, order of operations, and solving simple equations, with plenty of practice problems along the way.
