Tutor and Academic/Career Advisor, K-12 and College STEM, and Premed

Matthew L.

I graduated with a Bachelor's and Master's in biomedical engineering from the University of California, Irvine, and I am an incoming MD-PhD student starting in Summer/Fall 2026. From my education journey, I've learned the importance of having a great teacher to enjoy the classroom, learn and understand the content, and develop the skills that extend beyond the classroom. I have come to learn that the best teachers have a strong passion in their work and in inspiring the next generation of students through active learning, engagement with real-world applications, and careful attention to the needs of each student.

Since high school, I have tutored students in various topics relating to STEM, medicine, career planning, and higher education. From my undergraduate and graduate studies as a biomedical engineering pre-med student, and with my previous background in tutoring, I have a strong foundation in a range of topics, understand the needs of current students, and possess the skills necessary to help my students succeed.

In my lessons, I use various techniques to teach my students to deeply understand course content, solve problems, apply their understanding to new contexts, and integrate what they learn with real-world applications. My goal is to facilitate long-term retention and understanding so that my students have great performance in school and gain/strengthen skills that they can take beyond the classroom and into the real world. I am providing lessons and advising to K-12 and undergraduate students in topics relating to STEM, medicine, and college/higher education preparation (including graduate and medical school). To optimize my lessons, I tailor my plan to the needs and goals of my students on an individual basis. Feel free to contact me for more information or to schedule a lesson!
