~Named by Wyzant as one of their Top 100 Tutors in the United States in 2015~

I have extensive teaching experience in Chemistry and Biology in both the classroom and one-on-one private settings. As a teaching assistant in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, I taught Structural Bioinformatics to more than 300 students over three consecutive years. In addition to this, I have taught high school, undergraduate, graduate, medical and pharmacy students in many subjects in the chemical and biological sciences, including Freshman Biology, Introductory Microbiology, Molecular Genetics, Introductory and Advanced Molecular and Cell Biology, Evolution, Structural Biochemistry, Freshman General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry I, II and III, Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology through Wyzant. I have also assisted students in preparing for the SAT Biology subject test and the General Chemistry and Physics/Organic Chemistry/Biochemistry sections of the MCAT.

I graduated with a B.Sc. with First-Class Honors in Biochemistry from McGill University, one of Canada's premier research universities, and went on to complete a Ph.D. in Biochemistry at the same university. After graduate studies at McGill, I completed a Science Teaching Fellowship with the American Society for Microbiology and a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at the University of California, San Diego.

In my teaching sessions, I first assess the current understanding of the material by the student, then attempt to fill any knowledge gaps that might exist. Learning Science is a step-wise process, and I believe that building from a solid foundation is a recipe for success. I assign regular homework and problem sets, taking into account the required assignments for a given class. After the material is assimilated, I set up practice exams with the student, so that they are well prepared for their evaluations in class.

I look forward to meeting new students and sharing with them my passion for Biochemistry.

Extremely Knowledgeable

He is ready and willing to help you. He is very patient, and his knowledge of organic chemistry will calm any and all fears you have toward the material.

Erika, 53 lessons with Jean

Very knowledgeable

Jean has taught me Cell Energy and how to do a lab write up of diffusion and osmosis. He is very knowledgeable and has helped me immensely in AP Biology.

Angelee, 3 lessons with Jean

Extremely Knowledgeable

Jean was awesome!!!! This was my first time using an online tutor from WyzAnt. I've used other study & exam prep help sites that give direct responses or answers to whatever question is asked, but Jean actually explained the answers he gave and was able to draw out examples on his whiteboard, therefore it was more like sitting in a classroom with an instructor with 1-on-1 attention. He also provided me with example questions, so that I can better prepare for my final exam, I definitely felt the money was well spent. I recommend Jean for any tutoring needed in sciences, he knows his stuff, for sure

Cerrisa, 2 lessons with Jean

Helpful study methods for anatomy

Jean helped me understand concepts in the upper limb region for anatomy as well as cartilage epithelial tissues for cell biology/histology. The previous lesson, Jean provided study methods and tools for approach in using practice questions to prepare for exams in anatomy.

Jawad, 111 lessons with Jean

Very knowledgeable.

I am in Pharmacy school and Jean's knowledge of Organic chemistry and biochemistry helped me easily understand Drug bio-transformation. He will take time to simplify concepts that seem difficult to understand

Akoaya, 15 lessons with Jean

Good at breaking down problems

He is Very step by step and thorough with explanations for complicated problems and encouraging. Really knows his biochem. Had excellent advice about MCAT prep.

Diana, 1 lesson with Jean

Just what we needed!

He worked with my daughter with AP Chem and got her up to speed with her class. Extremely smart and a good teacher!

Lori, 9 lessons with Jean

Great and worth it

Was very helpful for exam and subject matter. Would recommend without hesitation. Skype was easy to use and made review easy to deal with.

Jeremy, 13 lessons with Jean

Dedicated his life to teaching college

Jean is a hard working brilliant man. He has dedicated his PhD work to teaching, and it shows in his love for biochemistry. As a student taking my last class at a uc, I highly recommend him. Best I've had on this site so far.

Robert, 25 lessons with Jean

Very intelligent and responds quickly and is helping me understand my issues.

PPM Alkalinity, He broke it down so i could understand and gave me back up calculations to check those, so i am definitely happy thus far.
