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.

5 Star Tutor!

Marco and I had another great tutoring session. I have always had a trouble understanding DNA and RNA steps, but he was able to break it down and use great resources to bridge the gap for me. I can’t wait to share more of my success stories.

Zharia, 12 lessons with Marco

Extremely Knowledgeable Tutor

Marco was able to help me with my Mammalian Molecular Biology and Genetics course. He was extremely knowledgeable about every topic and was able to help me perform better in the course!

Isabelle, 7 lessons with Marco

Great biochemistry tutor!

Marco is by far the best biochemistry tutor. I have scored higher on uworld practice problems and am finally understanding the foundational concepts. Practice questions are much easier and my confidence has increased.

Zharia, 12 lessons with Marco

Great biochemistry tutor!

Marco is a phenomenal biochemistry tutor. He has an excellent understanding of the MCAT topics. He is very patient, kind, high energy, and knowledgeable. I have weekly sessions with him and he has been able to help me understand concepts that I have had difficulty with for years.

Zharia, 12 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.

Ryan, 1 lesson with Marco

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!

Leone Marcial, 50 lessons with Marco

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!
