Prospective medical student with a passion for Biology.

Ian D.

I am a senior in college majoring in Biology and Psychology on the pre-med track, with a strong passion for physiology, ecological sciences, and developmental psychology. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I have served as a teaching assistant for multiple biology courses, including mammalogy and ecology. In these roles, I held weekly review sessions for over 100 students, breaking down complex topics, guiding discussions, and reinforcing key concepts to enhance understanding. Beyond my TA experience, I have provided one-on-one tutoring, tailoring my approach to accommodate different learning styles through active recall techniques, interactive problem-solving, and real-world applications. My dual background in biology and psychology allows me to explain scientific material in a way that is both engaging and practical, helping students connect theory to real-life scenarios.

In addition to my formal teaching roles, I have spent several years tutoring college students in various scientific disciplines. Whether working in a structured classroom setting or in individualized tutoring sessions, I focus on fostering critical thinking and confidence in my students. I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and actively participating in discussions. My experience has equipped me with strong communication skills and the ability to adapt my teaching strategies based on each student’s unique needs. As a dedicated tutor with a passion for science and education, I am committed to helping students develop a deep understanding of the material and achieve academic success.
