I am a Ph.D. biomedical scientist specializing in biology tutoring, molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, neuroscience, and scientific writing. As an instructor at MIT, I taught wet lab techniques in systems physiology and cell and molecular biology to more than 300 students, emphasizing both practical laboratory skills and deep conceptual understanding.

My instruction covers critical concepts behind laboratory techniques, scientific literature evaluation, and effective scientific writing for laboratory reports, research publications, and theses. I have mentored students at every level—high school, undergraduate, post-baccalaureate, and graduate—in research design, technical laboratory skills, and academic writing excellence.

My extensive research experience spans cellular and molecular neuroscience, cell and molecular biology, developmental biology, cancer biology, epigenetics, genetics, animal behavior, and physiology. This hands-on background allows me to teach students how to design rigorous experiments, formulate testable hypotheses, answer biological questions, and critically evaluate scientific literature like experienced researchers.

I focus on fostering critical thinking skills and teaching students to think like scientists. My approach goes beyond memorization—students learn to ask probing questions that deepen their understanding of biological principles and reveal the "why" behind concepts. This prepares students for success in essay questions, laboratory practicals, standardized tests, and independent research.

As an experienced scientific writer and editor with numerous publications, I teach the art of crafting clear laboratory reports, research papers, and theses. I work with high school students, college students, and adults seeking to build strong foundations in biological sciences. Whether you need help with general biology, advanced molecular techniques, research projects, or scientific writing, I provide personalized instruction tailored to your goals.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

With over 15 years of research experience and teaching neuroscience and biology to over 250 undergraduate students at MIT, Tufts, BU and more, I specialize in making complex concepts accessible and helping students build strong foundations in scientific reasoning. I'm passionate about adapting content for diverse learning styles and translating challenging biological ideas into clear, understandable explanations. I hold a Ph.D. in Neuroscience studying fundamental questions about how cells develop, communicate, and function in complex biological systems. My research has explored topics ranging from how individual cells make developmental decisions and respond to their environment, to understanding what goes wrong in diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

With over 15 years of research experience and teaching neuroscience and biology to over 250 undergraduate students at MIT, Tufts, BU and more, I specialize in making complex concepts accessible and helping students build strong foundations in scientific reasoning. I'm passionate about adapting content for diverse learning styles and translating challenging biological ideas into clear, understandable explanations. I hold a Ph.D. in Neuroscience studying how brain cells develop and decide when to stop dividing during normal brain growth. My research has explored fundamental questions about how the brain works, from understanding how neurons communicate and connect to investigating what goes wrong in diseases like brain cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
Physiology

Physiology

With over 15 years of research experience and teaching physiology, neuroscience, biology to over 250 undergraduate students at MIT, Tufts, BU and more, I specialize in making complex concepts accessible and helping students build strong foundations in scientific reasoning. I'm passionate about adapting content for diverse learning styles and translating challenging biological ideas into clear, understandable explanations. I hold a Ph.D. in Neuroscience studying fundamental questions about how cells and organ systems develop, communicate, and maintain normal function. My research has explored topics ranging from how cells regulate their growth and differentiation, to understanding how physiological processes are disrupted in diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders.
Proofreading

Proofreading

With extensive experience writing, reviewing, and editing across all academic disciplines, I offer comprehensive support for students at every stage of the writing process. My expertise spans academic essays, research reports, and technical documents with a particular strength in STEM writing, including lab reports, scientific papers, original research articles, and literature reviews. I bring a trained eye for both content and clarity, helping writers sharpen their arguments, improve logical flow, and communicate complex ideas with precision and confidence. My background in scientific and technical writing gives me a strong command of discipline-specific conventions, from structuring a research paper to adhering to the exacting standards of communication. I also have extensive experience reviewing and editing undergraduate and graduate theses, supporting students through one of the most demanding writing challenges of their academic careers. Whether you're refining a first draft, tightening your argument, or polishing a final submission, I provide detailed, constructive feedback tailored to your specific goals and learning style.
Thesis Writing

Thesis Writing

With a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and over 15 years of research experience, I bring deep expertise in thesis writing, scientific communication, and academic argumentation to every student I work with. I have five years of hands-on experience reviewing, editing, and critiquing both undergraduate and graduate theses for content, clarity, and logical flow. I have completed the process myself at both levels, giving me firsthand insight into the challenges students face at every stage. My expertise spans the full scope of thesis development: constructing cogent, well-supported arguments, conducting comprehensive literature reviews, and designing figures and infographics that effectively communicate complex data. I specialize in technical writing in the sciences, developed through teaching over 250 undergraduate students at MIT, Tufts, BU, and beyond. I have broad, rigorous subject matter knowledge to support students across a range of scientific disciplines. I'm passionate about making complex concepts accessible, adapting my approach to diverse learning styles, and helping students build the reasoning skills they need to write with confidence and precision.
