I'm Daniel! I graduated magna cum laude from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Biomedical Engineering and minors in Physics and Chemistry, and I'm heading to NYU Grossman School of Medicine this fall. I've always believed that the right explanation at the right moment can completely change how a student sees a subject. My approach is built around finding exactly where a student is getting stuck, because confusion usually has a specific source and identifying it makes everything else click faster. Beyond content, I focus on building confidence alongside knowledge, because a student who believes their performance is within their control learns faster and retains more. I adapt to each student's pace and learning style rather than following a rigid script, and I never move on until the material actually makes sense. I spent all four years of college working as a STEM teacher in under-resourced Nashville schools, TAing for an engineering course with nearly 100 students, and privately tutoring premeds through coursework and test prep.
I tutor across a wide range of subjects including Biology, Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Physics, Biochemistry, Calculus, Statistics, and standardized test prep for the SAT, ACT, and MCAT. Whether you're trying to pull up a grade, prep for a high-stakes exam, or just finally understand a concept that's never clicked, I'm happy to meet you wherever you are and work from there.
Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a lesson. I'd love to help!
