"The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled."

Grant N.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science from UC Berkeley and am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Medical Sciences at Boston University, where I maintained a 4.0 GPA. My academic training has provided me with a strong foundation in the natural sciences, encompassing biology, chemistry, environmental science, and statistics. I am also certified in BLS and EMT, which adds to my knowledge in applied science and healthcare.

I’ve worked as a tutor across a wide range of age groups and settings. As a graduate teaching assistant in biochemistry, I led review and tutoring sessions for a class of over 180 students. This role involved designing engaging, structured lesson plans and providing one-on-one support to help students understand complex biochemical pathways and mechanisms. Previously, I tutored high school and college-level students, creating individualized learning strategies tailored to each student’s needs and academic goals.

My tutoring style emphasizes conceptual understanding, personalized learning, and confidence-building. I focus on breaking down complex topics into manageable parts while encouraging active engagement through thought-provoking questions and constructive feedback. I’ve worked with students of all levels, from struggling learners to high achievers, and I always aim to meet them where they are. My experience includes both remote and in-person tutoring, with a particular emphasis on STEM subjects, study skills, and college preparation.

Whether I’m tutoring biochemistry, environmental science, or high school algebra, my goal is to help students not only succeed in their coursework but also develop lasting academic skills that they can apply in the future. I am currently applying to medical school and offering pre-medical mentorship.
