Hey! I’m Dr. Mayuri P, a PhD neuroscientist with a deep passion for making brain science clear, engaging, and approachable. I also have a podcast, MaPa BrainLab, which is available to stream on all leading platforms so check out how I engage with the public to share neuroscience. My background spans neuroscience research, strategy consulting at LEK, and professional acting, which means I know how to combine science with performance to help concepts stick. My PhD background over 7 years focused on studying how the prefrontal cortex plays a role in feeding behaviors and decision making to sensory stimuli like odors. I also taught neurobiology lab courses in person during my Masters degree. My goal is to break down complex topics and relate them to ideas that you are already familiar with to make science less complicated.

I’ve taught and mentored students from high school through graduate school, and I tailor each lesson to your unique learning style and goals. If you’re looking for a tutor who brings both scientific expertise in an engaging format, I’d love to help you learn with your educational goals. With my experience in research, I am also able to help you understand scientific literature, specifically breaking down research papers to their methods and conclusions so you can understand how the science was developed. I am excited to teach students across various topics in science and can't wait to meet you!

Approved Subjects

Interview Prep

Interview Prep

Throughout my career I have passed different types of interviews and have helped other students and. colleagues with their interview prep. Specifically, for graduate school and PhD admissions, I went through multiple interview rounds to land my admissions. During my PhD, I was president of the consulting club and frequently held sessions to help with interview prep for management consulting positions. These are extensive interviews that require case coaching as well as personal experience interviews. Through my public speaking and acting background, I have the ability to coach students and professionals for various interview styles and would love to help using my expertise.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

I have over 10+ years studying neuroscience, spanning both a masters degree and a PhD. I have taught undergraduate neurobiology labs as well as tutored graduate students in topics related to neuroscience. My PhD thesis was about prefrontal cortex to basal forebrain circuit and its role in feeding behaviors. I am also a professional actor with a neuroscience podcast called MaPa BrainLab.
Psychology

Psychology

I have a BS in Pscyhology, and successfully took an AP Psych test many years back in high school. I also hold a PhD and have tutored high school students in the past. I recently was a biotech consultant so am very good at planning and executing based on strict timelines.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I have been public speaking since my time in high school across speech & debate as well as FBLA competitions. Through the years, I have won public speaking awards for my research during my PhD. Notably, I won 1st place for my elevator pitch competition at Baylor College of Medicine. I was also given the people's choice award for the 3 Minute Thesis Competition. I competed in state and national competitions for public speaking and original oratory throughout high school. I am also a professional actor with credits across theatre and tv/film. I am able to coach and teach public speaking from high school to college students to professionals.
