Johns Hopkins Grad For Math and Science Tutoring

Tamara O.

I have a strong background in tutoring and education, supported by my academic achievements and hands-on teaching experience. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, with a diverse skill set spanning engineering, biology, and computational modeling. Throughout my academic career, I have taken on leadership, mentoring, and research roles, equipping me with the expertise to tutor in a wide range of subjects.

I was a Teaching Assistant at JHU for multiple courses, including Computational Medicine: Cardiology, Structure of the Cell, and Methods in Nucleic Acid Sequencing. In these roles, I helped students grasp complex biological and engineering concepts through hands-on demonstrations, guided discussions, and interactive problem-solving. My experience includes assisting with laboratory protocols, data analysis, and computational modeling, ensuring students not only understood the material but also developed critical thinking skills.

Beyond the classroom, I have extensive experience mentoring students in STEM. I worked as part of a multidisciplinary team on predictive modeling research for pediatric cardiac arrest, leveraging machine learning and cardiology knowledge to improve healthcare outcomes. Additionally, I have been involved in organizations such as the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers and Women in Business, where I guided younger students in professional development and networking.

With experience in both structured academic settings and one-on-one mentoring, I tailor my teaching approach to each student’s learning style. My ability to simplify complex topics, foster engagement, and create structured learning strategies makes me a highly effective tutor in subjects ranging from biology and engineering to coding and data analysis.
