About Garrett


Bio

If I was looking for a tutor, I would want someone who was highly successful as a student and has perfected teaching How to study, mastering understanding, and optimally preparing for exams.

I am a PhD-trained physiologist specializing in cardiovascular electrophysiology, with 9+ years and 600+ hours of STEM tutoring, focused on Biology, Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry for pre-medical students as well as required STEM courses for non-majors.

If I was looking for a tutor, I would want someone who was highly successful as a student and has perfected teaching How to study, mastering understanding, and optimally preparing for exams.

I am a PhD-trained physiologist specializing in cardiovascular electrophysiology, with 9+ years and 600+ hours of STEM tutoring, focused on Biology, Chemistry, and Organic Chemistry for pre-medical students as well as required STEM courses for non-majors.

I achieved straight A’s in all pre-medical courses (3.98 undergraduate and 3.94 PhD GPA) and have effectively helped my students achieve A/B’s. Through my years as a student, tutor, and TA for introductory through graduate-level biology and chemistry, I offer a unique level of content expertise and first-hand knowledge preparing for these exams.

Given my range of experience that includes tutoring Organic Chemistry for five semesters (while leading independent review sessions for 70+ students), elective STEM courses for non-majors, leading review sessions for doctoral students (physiology), as well as 100+ hours of tutoring high school students. The wide range of students and different complexity levels has allowed me to perfect breaking down complex content into manageable learning and adapt my teaching to what works best for you.

Before each session, I will review your specific content. I will develop a highly individualized plan for that session to make best use of your time and ensure you walk away with confident command of fundamental concepts. I will develop with you a personal study plan with concrete goals to make your learning and exam prep manageable.
I don’t only passively answer your questions; I will actively test your knowledge for misunderstandings to ensure you truly understand and don’t miss exam questions because of them.

Most importantly, I am passionate about teaching and helping you learn not just the content, but how to become a more confident learner that can develop a study strategy to master any future courses.

Approved Subjects

Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I earned A's in Bio-organic Chemistry (a course focused on electron-pushing mechanisms of biological reactions) and Biochemistry in undergrad and in several graduate courses that cover the topics of Biochemistry. I also have first-hand experience with the subject material during my PhD training and currently as a scientist. In tutoring this course, I focus on understanding and breaking the complex material into manageable chunks and study goals.
Biology

Biology

I scored a 5 in AP Biology, tutored it since high school and had a 3.98 GPA in undergraduate being a Biology major. Biology was one of my most tutored courses, and I have an extensive background with its core topics because of my doctoral training rooted in core principles biology courses usually cover.
Physiology

Physiology

My PhD is in physiology (field: cardiovascular electrophysiology) (GPA: 3.94). I earned A's in two undergraduate Physiology courses, and three graduate level Physiology courses. I also was a TA for the graduate-level course and helped prepare doctoral students for comprehensive oral exams. I have substantial first-hand knowledge with the course, and hours of tutoring the material.
