Welcome to my tutoring profile! I'm a university professor and an enthusiastic private tutor, deeply passionate about science and education. My academic path has taken me across continents, contributing significantly to my professional growth. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the Universidade Federal do Ceara, a Ph.D. in Toxicology and Cancer Biology from the University of Kentucky, and have completed post-doctoral training at the Markey Cancer Center. My educational background forms a solid foundation for my expertise in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Pharmacology, Genetics, and MCAT Biochemistry preparation. I also worked tutoring high school students in AP Biology and AP Chemistry
I bring a wealth of teaching experience from various educational settings and student groups. As a university professor, I teach medical microbiology students in scientific communication, biochemistry, and molecular biology. This classroom experience has equipped me with effective group management and engagement skills.
Significantly, I have a strong track record in preparing students for the MCAT, particularly in the Biochemistry section. I understand the challenges and nuances of this demanding exam and have developed strategies to help pre-med students not only understand the material but also apply it effectively under exam conditions.
My tutoring approach is tailored to each student's learning style and academic needs. I strive to create an engaging and interactive environment, encouraging questions and discussions that deepen understanding. Whether it's helping a high school student ace their AP exams, guiding a college student through biochemical concepts, or preparing a pre-med student for the MCAT, my goal is to make learning both enjoyable and fruitful.
I invite you to start this educational journey with me. My dedication is to provide a supportive, enriching, and customized learning experience that aligns with your specific goals and aspirations.

Exceptional Tutor

Ever since I was young, I have learned from and been around many tutors, from SAT practice to college prep tutor sessions. When I started with Marco, he was very open and flexible about my summer goals. He always wanted me to do my best. His knowledge of biology far exceeds those of a normal tutor. His grasp on Molecular Biology and General Biology is absolutely unparalleled. Preparing for my classes has absolutely made my life easier. Marco is truly a one-of-a-kind tutor and person I have ever met.

Vivian, 39 lessons with Marco

Great tutor!

Really struggled with medical microbiology, but Marco helped me and I immediately showed positive results. My grades went from in the 50s to high 80s after working with him! Highly recommend.

Brooke, 7 lessons with Marco

knowledgeable tutor

I highly recommend Marco as a molecular genetics tutor. His clear explanations, in-depth knowledge, and engaging teaching style made the session both enjoyable and informative. I look forward to working with him again!

Olesya, 10 lessons with Marco

Super Knowledgeable and very good at explaining things to people with less knowledge

Marco is everything i could have asked for in a Tutor. He helped me understand biochemistry questions with great explanation, he also provided strategy to questions that made them seem very simple. I feel ready for my exam because of him.

Flexible and Light-hearted Tutor

I write this prior to taking my MCAT, but, my experience with Marco was great. I met with Marco a couple of times weekly, starting from 4x months out from my MCAT and in this time span my B/B Section Score increased from 123 on my 3rd Party Diagnostic Exam to 130 on the AAMC FLs. Marco has lesson plans for the high yield subjects on UWorld for Biochemistry and does all of those problems with you, in the style that helps you learn the best. He additionally also did the Bio Section Questions with me as well. He took the time to get to know me and deeply cares for your well-being in this journey. I will definitely recommend Marco if you need assistance or guidance throughout your MCAT Journey!

Incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and encouraging tutor.

Marco helped me learn Biochemistry this semester. It was one of the best tutoring sessions I have had. We learned topics ranging from water and the cell to glycolic pathways. I was able to do well in my class thanks to him. I 100% recommendation him as a tutor!

Raven, 14 lessons with Marco

The best!

Marco knows how to help and explain confusing topics so well! He is an incredible teacher with a kind heart and always provides reassurance and instills confidence!

Knowledgeable, Caring, Passionate Tutor

Marco helped me immensely with my undergraduate Intro to Biochemistry class. I was not necessarily struggling with the content, but I was having difficulty studying with the best tactics and getting the results I wanted on exams. I first worked with Marco through my professor's lesson notes, where he did a great job of explaining the content in a new way I understood better. Then, we worked through MANY practice problems my professor had given us to review for my final exam. Marco was so patient with me and always let me struggle a little and did not just tell me the answer. And even if I got a question right, Marco took the time to make sure I knew WHY that was the right answer and that I had the right approach to the question. Because of my work with Marco, I ended up getting the grade I wanted in the class and I am so grateful for all of his help. I plan on reaching back out to Marco to help me prepare for the MCAT science sections, and I would strongly recommend him to any student!

Most Patient Instructor

Marco is very patient and caring. He gives amazing explanation for the U World Biochemistry for the MCAT. I am blessed to be working with such an incredible individual. So thankful to God that I met him.

Kamal, 60 lessons with Marco

Great!

Marco is helping with my forensic science class. Before I met with him, it was very confusing but he makes it a lot easier to understand. He is a great tutor!
