Medical Student Specializing in Math and Chemistry Tutoring

Gregory B.

Hi, I'm a fourth-year medical student on my way to a residency in child neurology, and I'd love to help you or your student build real confidence in math and science. My academic journey started with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Boston College (with a minor in Chemistry), and it has taken me through medical school, research labs, and years in the classroom - all of which have shaped the way I think about teaching.

I have nearly a decade of tutoring experience across a wide range of subjects and levels: from grade school and high school math to college-level General and Organic Chemistry. As an undergraduate Teaching Assistant in Organic Chemistry at Boston College, I learned quickly that the best tutoring isn't about re-teaching a lecture - it's about finding the gap in a student's understanding and bridging it with the right explanation at the right time. I scored in the 99th percentile on both the SAT and ACT and the 93rd percentile on the MCAT, so I'm deeply familiar with the demands of high-stakes standardized testing as well.

What makes my approach a little different is my background in neuroscience and learning. As a future pediatric neurologist, I've studied how the developing brain acquires and retains information, and I bring that perspective into every session. I focus on building strong foundational knowledge first - because a student who truly understands the "why" behind a concept will outperform one who has only memorized the "how." I draw on evidence-based techniques - spaced repetition, retrieval practice, and scaffolded problem-solving - to help students retain material long after our sessions end. I tailor each session to the individual student's learning style, pace, and goals, and I'm patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in seeing every student succeed.
