Hi! I'm Michelle, a recent Neuroscience (Pre-Med) graduate from the University of Michigan with a strong foundation in the sciences and a passion for helping students actually understand (not just memorize) challenging material.

I specialize in Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Genetics, which are the pre-med and science courses I know can tend to be difficult to grasp initially. I've spent years in research labs and leadership roles at Michigan Medicine and the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System training and guiding teammates through complex scientific concepts, so breaking things down has become something I truly love to do.

I am also a fluent Spanish speaker and love helping students at any level - whether you are just starting out or need help preparing for an AP, IB, or college Spanish course. I've lived and working in in Spanish-speaking environments, both professionally, personally, and abroad, so I bring real-world language experience beyond the textbook. Sessions can also be conducted entirely in Spanish for immersion style learning if that's your preference.

My approach is patient, personalized, and focused on building real understanding so you feel confident going into exams. Whether you are struggling with reaction mechanisms in orgo or having trouble with conjugations in Spanish, I'm here to help!

Feel free to reach out, I'd love to connect!

Approved Subjects

Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I took Biochemistry as part of my Neuroscience degree at the University of Michigan and really enjoyed learning how molecular processes work together in the body. I’m comfortable with topics like protein structure, enzyme kinetics, metabolism, bioenergetics, and molecular biology. When tutoring, I like to break complicated pathways and concepts into smaller pieces so they’re easier to understand and apply on exams.
Genetics

Genetics

I studied Genetics as part of my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at the University of Michigan. Coursework in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry gave me a strong foundation in both classical and molecular genetic principles. My research at the Michigan Neuroscience Institute had me working closely with rodent models of Parkinson's disease, where understanding genetics and neurobiological pathways was central to the work. I also spent time in the Potkay Lab at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System working on biomedical devices, which required a solid grasp of biological systems at the molecular level. I'm comfortable helping students with everything from Mendelian inheritance and DNA replication to gene regulation and exam prep for undergraduate or AP-level courses.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

I took Organic Chemistry as part of my Neuroscience degree at the University of Michigan and built a strong understanding of the major concepts, including mechanisms, stereochemistry, functional groups, and spectroscopy. I’m comfortable working through problems with students and breaking down concepts that can initially feel overwhelming. I like to focus on understanding the reasoning behind reactions instead of just memorizing them, especially when preparing for exams.
Spanish

Spanish

I’m a native Spanish speaker and Wyzant-certified Spanish tutor. I can help with conversation, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and building confidence speaking Spanish. I’m happy to tailor lessons to each student’s goals and level!
