About Dustin


Bio

I am currently a research specialist at Hopkins and I want to share my love of learning and science. I am exceptional at explaining scientific concepts to others in a way that they can comprehend, using analogies that relate to the individual I am tutoring. I have over 1,000 hours of tutoring experience and I try to be vary flexible about meeting times and places. I have worked with predominantly undergraduate students, but I have also tutored high school as well as graduate students.

Approved Subjects

Biostatistics

Biostatistics

I worked in basic science research laboratories for 10+ years. During my career, I have had to perform statistics on the data that result from the experiments I and other have performed. I have taken Statistics class as an undergrad as well as "Overview of Bioinformatics and Genomics" and "Method and Logic in Biology" during my graduate work.
Botany

Botany

I have take a number of classes dealing with Botany. As an undergraduate, I took "Introduction to Cell & Molecular Biology", "Introduction to Organismal & Population Biology", "Environmental Chemistry", "Cell and Molecular Biology" as well as "Microbiology". I have also taken the following graduate level courses: "Advanced Plant Physiology", "Plant Molecular Biology", "Advanced Biochemistry I", "Advanced Biochemistry II", "Molecular Aspects of Pathogenesis", "Biochemistry" as well as "Cellular Biology" The classes, in conjunction with my research using Arabidopsis thaliana and various Brassica oleracea strains, gave me an excellent grasp of Botany.
Genetics

Genetics

I have take a number of classes dealing with Genetics. As an undergraduate, I took "Genetics" as well as "Molecular Genetics". I have also taken the following graduate level courses: "Advanced Genetics I" "Advanced Genetics II" "Overview of Bioinformatics and Genomics" "Fundamentals of Genetics"
Zoology

Zoology

I have take a number of classes dealing with Zoology. As an undergraduate, I took "Introduction to Cell & Molecular Biology", "Introduction to Organismal & Population Biology", "Environmental Chemistry", "Cell and Molecular Biology" as well as "Microbiology". I have also taken the following graduate level courses: "Advanced Biochemistry I", "Advanced Biochemistry II", "Molecular Aspects of Pathogenesis", "Molecular Biology", "Biochemistry" as well as "Cellular Biology" Along with my work with various animal model systems, including fruit flies, zebrafish and mice, in basic science research over the last ten years, I have an excellent grasp of Zoology.

Great with Biology

Dustin is a great tutor! He's very good with science and really enjoys talking with you about it, especially biology. He doesn't just teach science but he works with it everyday, so he has real life experiences. If you have a biology question, I'm sure he can answer it. He makes sure that you understand the information and he doesn't move on until you're ready. Dustin is very patient and relaxed, and he allows you to work at your own pace. He is very flexible and willing to work around your schedule.

Very helpful

I contacted Dustin for my grandson. I live out of state and Dustin was very helpful. My grandson really liked him and said he is very helpful.

Excellent Tutor for College Level Biology

Dustin is a talented biology tutor who has extensive knowledge on the subject matter, but more importantly is able to communicate that knowledge to others. I would highly recommend Dustin to anyone who is struggling with a Biology course.

Great Physics Tutor!

Dustin has helped me immensely with physics. Any tutor can give his/her student answers, but Dustin's approach has been to challenge me to reason out concepts that are often difficult to understand. This has been extremely important for me in my pursuit of understanding concepts related to Newtonian physics. He has been very patient, helpful, and flexible and helped me improve an incredible amount in the time between my first and second exam. Anyone looking for help understanding the many challenging concepts in introductory physics would benefit from working with Dustin! I highly recommend him as a tutor!
