Biomedical Engineering Tutor | Johns Hopkins Graduate Student

Morrison C.

Algebra 1

Algebra 1 is foundational to my Biomedical Engineering degree, where I applied these concepts extensively through circuit analysis, systems modeling, and engineering coursework. I’m comfortable working with students at any pace and tailoring sessions to the specific curriculum they’re following.

Biology

I scored a 5 on the AP Biology exam and have continued building on that foundation throughout my Biomedical Engineering degree at Clemson University, where coursework in cell biology, biochemistry, human physiology, endocrinology, and biomaterials has kept me continuously engaged with biological concepts at an applied level. My senior design project required direct clinical research into surgical anatomy and pathophysiology, and my undergraduate research involved human factors and experimental design with biological systems. This breadth means I am comfortable tutoring across virtually all introductory and AP biology topics, from cell structure and genetics to ecology and evolution. I work with high school and undergraduate students, and I approach biology by grounding abstract concepts in physiological or medical context wherever possible, which tends to make the material more intuitive and memorable than rote memorization alone.

Calculus

I have an undergraduate engineering degree and have taken calculus 1-4 as part of my curriculum. I also regularly use calculus in other classes.

Data Analysis

I completed a college-level Statistics for Science and Engineering course at Clemson University as part of my Biomedical Engineering degree, covering foundational statistical concepts including hypothesis testing, ANOVA, Tukey post-hoc tests, regression, and experimental design. I have applied these methods directly in undergraduate research, using RStudio to conduct statistical analysis of motion capture data across multiple participants and testing conditions, including one-way ANOVA and Tukey tests to evaluate differences between systems. My experience with R spans data cleaning, statistical testing, and results interpretation in the context of real experimental data rather than purely academic exercises. I tutor R and introductory statistics at the undergraduate level, focusing on helping students connect the logic behind each test to their specific dataset and research question rather than applying methods mechanically.

Electrical Engineering

I completed an introductory Electrical Engineering and Circuits course as part of my Biomedical Engineering degree at Clemson University, covering foundational circuit analysis, and later applied and expanded that knowledge through a dedicated Bioinstrumentation and Bioimaging course, which was a project-centric course focused on real-world instrumentation design. In that course and in independent research, I designed a switching circuit to safely interface a 9V TENS output with a 3.3V microcontroller, as part of my project addressing lower back muscular activity, fatigue, and related pain with directed relief. As part of that project, I built signal conditioning circuits including low-pass, high-pass, and notch filters for EMG signal processing. I also have hands-on experience with LTSpice for circuit simulation and Arduino IDE for microcontroller programming. I tutor introductory circuits and electronics at the high school and undergraduate level, focusing on building intuition for how circuits behave before working through formal analysis methods.

GRE

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Clemson University with a 3.90 GPA in Biomedical Engineering and am currently a graduate student at Johns Hopkins, which means I have recently navigated the same admissions process GRE test-takers are preparing for. My engineering background gives me a strong command of the quantitative and analytical reasoning skills the exam tests, and I can break down math concepts clearly for students at any level. I approach GRE prep strategically, helping students identify their weak areas and build both content knowledge and test-taking efficiency. Whether you are targeting a competitive graduate program or simply trying to hit a score threshold, I can help you get there.

Personal Statements

I wrote the personal statements that resulted in my acceptance to three top-five Biomedical Engineering graduate programs, including Johns Hopkins University, where I am currently enrolled. My statements were written for competitive research-focused programs, which required not only clear writing but a precise understanding of how to frame technical research experience, articulate fit with a specific program, and build a narrative that distinguishes one application from others with similar credentials. Beyond my own applications, I regularly review and edit academic and professional writing for peers, with particular focus on graduate and professional school applications. This has given me direct experience identifying what makes a personal statement fall flat; vague language, poor narrative structure, failure to connect research experience to stated goals, and how to correct those issues in practice.

Physical Science

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Clemson University with a 3.90 GPA in Biomedical Engineering, completed Physical Chemistry as part of my undergraduate curriculum, and am currently a graduate student in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins. My coursework spans mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, electricity, and chemical principles, covering the full scope of Physical Science at a level well beyond what the course requires.

Physics

I'm a graduating engineer with hands-on experience across multiple physics courses. I specialize in breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps; whether you're working through homework, prepping for an exam, or trying to build a stronger foundation in the subject.

Solidworks

I hold a Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) certification, earned through the Engineering Graphics and Machine Design curriculum at Clemson University's College of Engineering, Computing, and Applied Sciences, where I completed the course with an A. My training covers part modeling, assembly design, and engineering drawing generation, all skills used in professional mechanical documentation.
