About Byrd

Bio

I am a fourth-year medical student at UNC-Chapel Hill and I have 10+ years of tutoring/teaching experience. My passion lies in Biology, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Spanish. I know these subjects can be intimidating, so I focus on confidence building as well as mastering the subject. I love helping others break down and understand the complexities of these subjects.

I am a fourth-year medical student at UNC-Chapel Hill and I have 10+ years of tutoring/teaching experience. My passion lies in Biology, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Spanish. I know these subjects can be intimidating, so I focus on confidence building as well as mastering the subject. I love helping others break down and understand the complexities of these subjects.

I am a graduate of North Carolina State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Human Biology and minors in Spanish and Nutrition. After graduation, I moved to Los Angeles to serve with AmeriCorps through the American Red Cross where I taught disaster preparedness and helped with disaster recovery. Subsequently, I began medical school at UNC-Chapel Hill and I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge through tutoring before beginning to practice medicine. Throughout my undergraduate education, I traveled to the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua with Outreach360 on seven trips to teach Spanish Literacy and Public Health. I returned several times and witnessed the power of education in transforming impoverished communities.

At North Carolina State University, I taught children how to eat healthy on a fixed income through Cooking Matters. I taught CPR and First Aid with the Red Cross and volunteered at a free clinic in Santa Monica before I applied to Medical School. In my spare time, I enjoy riding horses, yoga, and hiking.

Knowledgeable Advanced Biology

Byrd was helpful and assisted my daughter with what had been confusing material. By the end of the session my daughter had a better grasp of the content. I definitely recommend Byrd!

Mayimuna, 1 lesson with Byrd

Just the best

Byrd has been my favorite tutor that I have found on here. She is not only a master of the material(organic chemistry) but is extremely motivating. My confidence with the material has skyrocketed.
