About Anastasia


Bio

I am a highly motivated scientist who graduated magna cum laude with a double major in May 2013 from Northeastern University. I have both my B.S in Biochemistry as well as a B.A in Asian Studies with a minor in Chinese language (Mandarin). Following undergrad, I went directly into graduate school and graduated in December 2018 with my Ph.D in Biochemistry from Ohio State University where I completed my thesis in the lab of Dr. Hannah Shafaat.

I am a highly motivated scientist who graduated magna cum laude with a double major in May 2013 from Northeastern University. I have both my B.S in Biochemistry as well as a B.A in Asian Studies with a minor in Chinese language (Mandarin). Following undergrad, I went directly into graduate school and graduated in December 2018 with my Ph.D in Biochemistry from Ohio State University where I completed my thesis in the lab of Dr. Hannah Shafaat. My work focused on engineering metalloprotein scaffolds to better understand the underlying mechanisms relevant for energy-related catalysis. During my five years of graduate school I worked as a TA for both undergraduate and graduate level courses including, Biology for Non-Biology Majors, Thermodynamics, and Kinetics where I consistently received an overall student ranking above 4 (out of a 5 point ranking scale) on the Ohio State “Student Evaluation of Instructor” forms given at the end of every semester. My favorite part about teaching was seeing a student’s confidence grow during the semester and being able to see them make connections across concepts. This was especially rewarding in the classes for non-science majors because I could watch as students became excited about topics that they previously had no interest in!

I like to take an active role in tutoring students and be both an instructor and mentor. I’ve spent time teaching middle school science labs at Hilltonia Middle School in Ohio and had an active position at the Columbus Museum for Science and Industry (COSI). Currently, I am working as a postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern University in lab of Dr. Amy Rosenzweig focusing on microbial mechanisms for energy conversion and the underlying metal requirements of microbes. I also spend time at the Museum of Science and Industry bringing science to the community.

I offer a FREE 30-min consultation to better understand the needs of each student, outline the student’s goals for tutoring, and define an action plan to help each student reach their full potential.

Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful tutor!

Anastasia has completely changed my outlook on biochemistry in just a few weeks. Her input on my own class materials, as well as the study tools she has provided me, have increased my quiz scores by over 30%. I never understood this subject before having her as a tutor.

Bio chemistry

Anastasia Helped my son with his college bio chemistry lab report. She was very knowledgeable, well organized and patient. She explained everything step by step in a very simple way to understand, my son will definitely use her help and recommend her to all his friends. She was also very accommodating to my son’s busy schedule

I think I found my dream tutor !!

Anastasia is hands down the most incredible tutor I have had so far. She makes learning Biochemistry so relatable and enjoyable. The way she breaks down complex concepts is beyond helpful. I can't recommend her highly enough. What a superb tutor!!

Knowledgable and Good Teaching Style

Anastasia taught at my pace and organized the lesson in a way that works for me. Also very good at explaining things simply. You can tell she really cares about quality of learning rather than quantity which does allow me to learn more in the end.

Knowledgable and very nice tutor.

Anastasia was an awesome tutor. This was my first time using Wyzant, and Anastasia made it very comforting and even gave me a mini into to how Wyzant works. She was also super knowledgable in what I needed help with, Biochemistry. She sent me supplementary material after the session that was helpful too. I will definitely be scheduling another tutoring session with her.

Best tutor ever!

I loved my sessions with Anastasia. She was so much fun to work with and so knowledgeable about the material. I always felt like I had a much stronger understanding of the material after we had a session. She gave clear explanations and extra practice problems whenever I needed them!

Knowledgeable and very attentive tutor

Anastasia is a very knowledgeable tutor and works very hard to be available as needed. She understands the data and is willing to present it from many angles to help you truly gain an understanding. She does not let you give up or get down on yourself. She is very positive and is excellent at motivating students to push through. I would recommend Anastasia to anyone seeking help. I can not think of anyone else I would want to help me.
