Dear Prospective Student,

I look forward to working with you and helping you with your academic needs. I too have had times when I struggled with subjects and have been truly thankful for the help and assistance from others.

I am trained in molecular biology and now work in cancer research here in Los Angeles. My training is in Chemistry and Molecular Biology (undergrad degree) and a PhD in biological chemistry. I also trained in a molecular biology lab as a post-doctorate fellow. Currently, I study how genes are turned on and off, and how this process becomes altered in human cancers.

I enjoy teaching and helping others learn the material. I was a teaching assistant during my early years in graduate school. In this role, I led weekly one hour discussion sessions and laboratory work for introductory chemistry courses. I also worked one-on-one with students during the semester for individual attention. I served in this capacity for two years and won a teaching award for my work.

I truly enjoy working with students on a one-to-one system. I find it helpful to review the material, and allow the student to ask/address specific points and areas that he/she need to resolve. Then, we can go through examples and problem solving. It's also important to review homework/assigned work to prepare for exams, and I am happy to put in extra time with each student to prepare for upcoming exams.

I believe that tutoring session should be relaxed and casual, so that the student is not afraid to ask any questions that the student feels necessary to improve. I genuinely care about the success of students.

I look forward to working with you.

Best wishes,
Dan

Approved Subjects

Chemistry

Chemistry

I have tutored high school and college students in basic and advanced chemistry - stoichiometry, gas laws, equilibrium, acids/bases, electrochemistry, physical chem ( light frequency and wavelength, etc)
Genetics

Genetics

I have over 10 years experience in genetics, genomics and molecular biology. I am well experienced in DNA structure, sequence, and how DNA is transcribed into RNA, and how RNA is translated into protein. I am also an expert with regards to chromatin structure, and how genes are regulated in mammalian tissues. I am well versed in gene mutations and the consequences of these mutations in human diseases, such as cancers and inherited diseases.
Macintosh

Macintosh

I have worked with Macintosh computers for over 20 years and still use Mac desktops, laptops and mobile devices for work and personal needs. I can help you get started with working on the Mac operating system, how to install and work with software programs, as well as integrating your mobile devices to share email/music, etc. I look forward to working with you!

Great tutor and great results

Dan has worked with my daughter a few times since we found him on WyzAnt and we are very happy with her improvement in high school chemistry. It's obvious that Dan has an extensive background and expertise in chemistry but he also has the strong communication stills and patience necessary to work with students one on one. My daughter has achieved improved test scores as well as gaining much more confidence in her understanding of the subject. We're very happy that we found Dan!

Great and Knowledgeable Tutor!

Dan has helped my daughter to prepare for her Chemistry final exam. Dan is punctual, patient, and experienced. He knows the subject very well and managed to review most of the materials with my daughter in a short period of time. He helped her to have a better understanding in topics she has trouble with, and was attentive to how she did her calculations. We definitely recommend Dan for Chemistry tutoring!

Excellent tutor

Dan helped my son with one of his college level classes and did an excellent job! He was available when he said he would be and was able to provide quick feedback.

Great Tutor!

Dan was a highly knowledgeable tutor on chemistry. With attention to, he helped me increase my overall understanding of chemistry. As well as being knowledgeable, Dan was a very talented teacher. For instance, he taught me about atomic and molecular structures and chemical bonding in depth. Afterward, he taught me enough background for difficult vocabulary words that when it came to studying on my own, I was confident and knew what I was reading about. He also taught me the basics of organic chemistry, and he made it easy to understand by pointing out the main and most important information. All things considered, Dan was notably encouraging. Definitely, a tutor to ask for help in chemistry!

Very Helpful

Dan has an amazing knowledge of biology and was able to help my daughter understand the difficult concepts involved in her AP biology lab. He was on time, patient, and easy to work with.

Patient and Supportive!

We'll try it again next week. Dan W. was on time, and he worked with my daughter all the way through the tutoring period - no breaks.
