Nice to virtually meet you - I'm Amanda! I am a new tutor here at Wyzant, but I was a student in need of a helping hand in this very same place many years ago. In 2015, I graduated from Howard University with my Bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry - I went on to study at the University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine to be awarded my Master's degree in biomedical sciences in 2019.

Nice to virtually meet you - I'm Amanda! I am a new tutor here at Wyzant, but I was a student in need of a helping hand in this very same place many years ago. In 2015, I graduated from Howard University with my Bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry - I went on to study at the University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine to be awarded my Master's degree in biomedical sciences in 2019. Currently, I am a rising third-year medical student at Howard University College of Medicine.
The past decade has been packed with difficult learning challenges and pushing my mind to think in ways I never imagined it could. I understand what it is like to feel a bit stuck and look for that extra helping hand to get you to the next level of understanding and success. Over this time, I have realized the great impact one-on-one teaching had on my ability to learn a topic using my unique strengths as a student. Each one of us has a different learning style and way of communicating - I would like to help each student achieve their goals in the way that best suits them.
I have experience tutoring one-on-one as well as with small groups with up to 5 students at a time. My tutoring experience begins with elementary school students and works all the way up to undergraduate students!
My greatest strengths are in the areas I practice nearly daily: anatomy, physiology, microbiology, nutrition, pathology, immunology, and biochemistry. I am also very learned in the areas of general chemistry, genetics, physics, biochemistry, biology, and medical terminology. These topics include what is frequently seen on the MCAT/DAT!
NOTE: These topics include specific subcategories as well (i.e. neuroscience, endocrinology, reproductive physiology, etc.).
It is my goal to help students become confident in their knowledge and test-taking through a deeper understanding and consistent application of new concepts. I would like to focus on what unique ways you learn new information and how we can best work as a team to get y
