Bio

Hi! I’m Dr. Bekah, and I have been teaching/tutoring small groups and individuals for over 20 years.

As a certified tutor in college, and current M.D. in the clinical research field, I have a passion for teaching!

Hi! I’m Dr. Bekah, and I have been teaching/tutoring small groups and individuals for over 20 years.

As a certified tutor in college, and current M.D. in the clinical research field, I have a passion for teaching! I actually ENJOY breaking down difficult concepts and explaining them in ways that other students could understand. This began in my Organic Chemistry class and took off from there. Throughout medical training, tackling vast amounts of material and absorbing the information sometimes felt taxing...so it was important to develop some new learning methods.

I enjoy teaching people new things, and I work with students to determine which learning styles suit their needs. My philosophy is TRULY that there are NO stupid questions. A student needs to feel that they can ask anything, and have it explained to them in a way that they can understand it. Only then can they move forward confidently! A relaxed student is one willing to work hard to learn the material. I have spent many years teaching organizational skills, time management, study techniques and test taking skills. This focus will have a tremendous impact on educational abilities and future endeavors.

I love to teach/tutor Chemistry (General, HON, IB), Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Physiology, Histology, Pathology, Nursing Foundations and Fundamentals, Dimensional Analysis and Dosage Calculations, MCAT Preparation and Test Taking Prep and Strategy, Clinical Research Design, etc.

I usually offer a Meet and Greet to chat and learn a bit more about your needs and let you ask questions, so feel free to message and let's set something up!

Approved Subjects

Biochemistry

Biochemistry

Biochemistry is a course you will frequently take in college and is definitely a required course in medical sciences. I was lucky enough to take them in both and realizing how difficult it was has made me appreciate how difficult it is for other students. Since that time I’ve made it my mission to help as many other students as possible take the time to learn these processes in a way that is helpful and informative, without simply memorizing the information. I was lucky enough to do well in biochemistry at the time that I took it and have helped many others succeed! I have successfully tutored, college students, and medical students in the last 15 years as well.
MCAT

MCAT

As a Doctor of Medicine, I vividly recall the angst and pressure of MCATS. I did quite well and was able to secure interviews at my top 3 Medical Schools, including Dartmouth and the University of Vermont College of Medicine. (As it was an accelerated program). I secured a spot and graduated from the program of my choice. I have been working with students for 15+ years on how to approach the MCAT, as it requires you to combine strong knowledge, critical thinking ACROSS the disciplines, and expert time management skills in order to succeed. With patience, focus and flexibility in your learning style….you can ace this exam! 11/21 Addendum: Each student is provided with an analysis of their unique situation after a Meet and Greet to collect information. Additional detailed recommendations are provided as an MCAT pathway to success.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry is the study of carbon compounds and the reactions performed with such compounds. I thrived in Organic Chemistry in College and loved teaching it THEN to fellow students and received very high grades. Additionally, I scored well on the MCATs (Medical College Admission Tests) which tests Organic Chemistry ...and subsequently interviewed, was accepted and trained in Medical School, taking courses in Biochemistry, which IS the Organic chemistry of biological compounds in the body. I have graduated with an M.D. and since continued to teach Biochemistry to medical students, and Organic Chemistry and MCAT preparation to Undergraduate students.
Physiology

Physiology

I earned my Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) in 2007. Medicine demands a strong foundation and understanding of Human Anatomy and Physiology. Physiology is the understanding of how the organ systems of the body work, both independently and together. My teaching style is one of UNDERSTANDING and LEARNING the material and not memorization. I have dedicated myself to making learning fun, so that you will remember material we have covered in order to test well.

An Exceptional Tutor Who Teaches for True Understanding

Dr. Rebekah is an outstanding tutor. She has a remarkable ability to break down extremely complex topics in medicinal chemistry and explain them in a way that is clear, memorable, and easy to understand. Her medical background is fantastic, and she consistently ties in real life examples that make the material more engaging and relevant. Her passion for teaching is evident in every session, and she truly takes pride in helping students grasp the importance and reasoning behind the material rather than simply memorizing it. Her philosophy of fostering genuine understanding is both rare and inspiring. I cannot recommend Dr. Bekah highly enough. She is the best tutor I have ever worked with, and I am incredibly fortunate to learn from her.

MCAT tutor

Dr. Rebekah has been a great MCAT tutor so far. She doesn’t just teach the material but make sure that I’m engaged and actually fully understand it. Every session is focused, clear and productive. She creates an individualized plan for each student that is built for efficiency, and she knows how to strategically schedule topics and review sessions for maximum progress which is very helpful. Would highly recommend!

Knowledgeable and Patient

Rebekah is the best I don't think there is any other tutor on this platform that can compete with Rebekah. She is patient she comes prepared to lessons with a full lesson plan on the content and what is needed to understand. She cares about my success and believes in me more than I believe in myself and always using positive reinforcement when I get discourage. She not only teaches content but test taking strategies and builds my confidence. I came to her because I was failing 3 classes. When I started working with her I had low 60s after only a few sessions my quiz and test grades improved immediately went from making 50s on midterms and finals to making 85 and above on major tests. She is teaching me how to be an independent learner and how to study effectively.

Outstanding Tutor!!!

Our son was struggling with Geometry and Biology. Dr. Bekah was able to help our son understand and learn the concepts in both classes. She is very patient, creative and extremely smart. Her ability to relate to our son and teach the materials in a way that made sense to him is truly the sign of an exceptional teacher. She is not your average tutor. We highly recommend her!!

Mary Beth, 3 lessons with Rebekah

The best tutor!

After our first lesson, I already feel more confident and I have a much better understanding of the material. She does not just tutor, she teaches! She does not move on until you understand the material. She is patient, but she makes sure you know your stuff because she likes to quiz you to keep you on your toes. Her teaching skills are amazing! In less than 2 hours I was able to draw, label, and understand the brachial plexus and was also able to label the major parts of the skull and name the cranial nerves. She gave me an assignment to help prepare me for next time and will start off with a quiz to make sure I have review the material. I am 100% certain that with her help, I will be able to improve my test score and pass anatomy!

A Must-Have tutor!

I'm a sophomore at Wayne State and I had decided to take Organic Chemistry over the summer. I had always struggled with Chemistry starting from high school and convinced myself that I could pull through. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Halfway through the semester I realized that I needed help. When I found Dr. Bekah, set up sessions within a week after finding her on WyzAnt. She proved to be extremely reliable and flexible. She is EXTREMELY passionate about teaching and she'll do anything to see you succeed. I had three hour sessions that flew by because she'd have me so focused. She helped me understand concepts rather than memorize them. Everything from pop quizzes to homework assignments helped reiterate the chapters we had covered in previous sessions. All in all, SHE'S GREAT!

A wonderful tutor

In a matter of weeks, near the end of the school year, Bekah transformed our son's grades in advanced algebra. She is so smart and extremely positive and related to our son immediately, no small task. We would highly recommend her on any of her listed subjects and will definitely be using her services in the future to keep our son on track. She's the best.
