Expert scientist with years experience looking to help tutor

Greg W.

I'm a scientist with expertise in Chemistry, Biology, Bioinformatics, and Statistics. I received my BS/MS in Chemistry with a focus in Physical Chemistry. I went on to achieve an MS in Bioinformatics and PhD in Pharmacology. I've been a college instructor for Chemistry (general, analytical, organic, biochem), Genetics, Proteomics, Bioinformatics, and Biostatistics with 10+ years of experience. I have a amazing ability to explain complex concepts in a way anyone can understand.

My previous experience with tutoring is for both majors for the subject and non-majors. I’ve been a lecturer for large classes and worked with individual students on a regular basis in office hours and additional assistance with homework, test preparation, and general understanding of the subject. I prefer a “you drive” method where the student leads the process, and I help steer and guide when needed. I believe that if you teach someone something the will learn little, but if they push through the work some they will learn more. Its important for a student to find a tutor that helps them understand the topic with their approach to learning.

The majority of students I have worked with are college students but I’ve worked with high school students as well. I’ve worked with students while being a professor at a university and an adjunct instructor while working in industry. This includes one on one, small group, and entire classes in recitation sessions. My basic requirement to work with someone is that they put in an honest effort, even if they didn’t get far.
