Do you struggle with keeping up in your courses?
Do you procrastinate?
Does your studying and classwork and all things academics just get overwhelming?
Do you agree with the mantra "Work smarter, not harder?"

Do you struggle with keeping up in your courses?
Do you procrastinate?
Does your studying and classwork and all things academics just get overwhelming?
Do you agree with the mantra "Work smarter, not harder?"
Well, fear not. I've got you covered. I have been a practicing child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist nearly 16 years and in that time have taught medical students, residents and fellows. I have also worked extensively with those who have unique learning needs. While others may not feel comfortable working with those who have ADHD, or autism, or learning disorders, I feel very comfortable and am thrilled to work with you. Everybody is unique and everybody can learn. Just some learn differently. That's just the way it is.
From psychopathology to psychopharmacology, from neuroscience to anatomy and physiology, I have expertise in various topics just because I have had to take an extensive number of courses throughout my career as well as have read a lot. In addition, I worked extensively with children, adolescents and adults with ADHD, Autism and Learning Disorders. From this experience, I have developed expertise in working with those with unique learning needs. This includes working on study skills, time management, executive functioning and developing healthy self esteem. Each of these components is necessary for being a successful student at whatever level you are learning.
I have always loved teaching, starting in college when I tutored fellow students and was a TA for several courses including a mid-level Zoology course and a Vietnam history course. I have completed board certifications in general psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry, so I understand when you are preparing for your specialty exams. Recently, I have been coaching a middle school Science Olympiad Ecology team. I will apply my knowledge and my study skills to your specific field of study and together we will get you over the finish line. Micah S.

Approved Subjects

ADHD

ADHD

I have been a practicing child, adolescent and adult psychiatrist for 16 years and during that time have worked with many individuals with ADHD or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Whether you or your child/teen have/has inattention, hyperactivity, or a combination of the two, I have worked with individuals from 6 years old to 20+ years old who are dealing with issues just like you. I have worked individuals on academic issues that pertain to elementary to middle to high school as well as college and graduate school. Children, adolescents and adults with ADHD have unique ways of learning and often struggle with school before figuring out a way forward. I have worked with many to strategize how to get their academic work done. This will include strategies like chunking and keeping checklists as well as time management. I have also worked with these individuals and their parents to navigate the education system in order that academics are achievable and that success is within reach. I will bring my experience to the table to tutor you (or your child/teen) on various academic topics to help you/them be successful.
Algebra 2

Algebra 2

I have completed math through calculus at the college level. With all subjects, I will break down complicated concepts so you can understand them easily.

I have worked with many individuals on the autism spetrum and I understand the unique needs of those with autism including academic needs. I have worked with individuals from 6 years old into their 30s on a range of academic issues. I have worked with educators as well as schools in order to help individuals achieve their academic best.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

Having majored in zoology and was pre-med in college, followed by an MD, PHD program focusing on neuroendocrinology, I have had to take a number of biochemistry courses through my career. I look forward to working with you to understand complicated ideas so the topic becomes enjoyable to learn.
Biology

Biology

Biology is such a wonderful topic and encompasses so many areas. Whether you want to learn about cell biology or systems biology, we can get it done. So many interesting topics to learn, where to start? Let's do it!
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

Please see my qualifications on profile page. If an introductory call would be helpful prior to choosing a tutor, please let me know. Dr. Micah
Neuroscience

Neuroscience

Besides a PHD in neuroendocrinology, I have practiced psychiatry for many years. In order to be a good psychiatrist, you need to understand the basis of psychopathology which is the nervous system. This involves neurons and how they function, neurotransmitters, and different areas of the brain working together.
Nursing

Nursing

I have completed an MD and a PHD (neuroendocrinology) as well as completed a general psychiatry residency and child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship. I have worked primarily in the public health system, mainly within the military hospital system. If you are struggling with your courses or having difficulty with your clinical rotations or still trying to fit in as a new attending or staff member, I will help you in your journey.
Pharmacology

Pharmacology

I have been a practicing psychiatrist and am an expert psychopharmacologist. I can speak about how medications work through receptors and intracellular mechanisms. I can also speak about how they are absorbed, metabolized, and excreted.

Besides have practiced medicine for 16 years I majored in zoology and took a number of college courses in physiology and took these courses at higher levels in medical school as well.
Prealgebra

Prealgebra

I have a penchant for breaking down complicated ideas into easier to understand concepts and this extends to prealgrebra. Math can be so frustrating if the concepts are not well understood. If fundamental ideas are not understood, it makes it difficult to understand the next level up and will become that much more difficult.
Psychology
