I hold a Master of Science degree from Rutgers University, and I am a 5x published author in peer-reviewed journals. I have taught at both the secondary and college levels.
My goals as an educator and especially as a tutor have always been to focus on the student and what is in their best interest and to bring my expertise to assist them. I have taught AP Biology for 25 years and IB Biology for 22 years and in doing so, fully understand the demands and subtleties of each course and each exam. I have tutored students preparing for AP Biology, IB-SL and IB-HL exams, those taking subject specific SATs as well as college students taking midterms, finals, GSATs and MCATS.

I hope you will consider my services if you have needs in General Biology (middle school through collegiate courses) and in any of the following specialty areas: Anat & Phys., Genetics, Biochemistry, Ecology, Evolution, or Cell Biology.

Best of luck to you in your pursuits,
Kevin

Biology

Biology

I have taught IB and AP Biology for 22 and 25 years respectively. Along the way I have prepped my own students as well as those I tutored from all over the country for not only their IB/AP exams but also for SAT II, GREs, and MCATs. My own educational background includes a BS in Biology and a MS in Evolution and Ecology from Rutgers.
Genetics

Genetics

For over three decades I have prepared students, first for AP exams and for the past 20 years, IB exams. Genetics occupies a critical part of both curricula. Areas covered yearly include meiosis, Mendelian genetics, chromosomes and their structure, inheritance patterns, DNA synthesis, protein synthesis, regulating gene expression, viruses, and biotechnology/genetic engineering.

Knowledgeable, patient, resourceful, and supportive tutor!

My son was struggling in IB Bio HL in the beginning of senior year and is now feeling more confident thanks to Kevin! My son has worked with Kevin a handful of times to review past exams, prepare for future ones, and to discuss IA experience topics. Kevin comes with an immense amount of experience and knowledge and is super patient and resourceful. He always comes prepared to sessions with extra handouts, websites, and diagrams to share with my son. He is able to explain complex concepts clearly and meets my son where he's at. There is no judgement (and he states that upfront) but support and care. Kevin is transparent and will admit if there is a roadblock in the session, following up with additional thoughts/resources. Logistically, I am most grateful that Kevin is highly communicative about meeting dates and follow up summaries. Thank you, Kevin!!

Kevin was just what my son needed!

My son had a first session with Kevin. Great experience all around. Kevin was able to make time on short notice and my son enjoyed the session. Will definitely use again as needed for challenging concepts.

Great tutor!

Kevin is an exceptional IB Biology tutor! He not only helped my son gain the confidence he needed but also provided him with the knowledge and strategies to succeed in his first IB midterm. Kevin’s patient teaching style and clear explanations made complex topics manageable and easy to understand. Thanks to his guidance, my son felt well-prepared and performed beyond our expectations. We highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for top-notch IB Biology tutoring!

Last minute help

My daughter needed help with a AP Biology quiz that was coming up the next day and Kevin went out of his way to squeeze her in. She normally does not like virtual lessons but she thought the lesson was great despite that and that Kevin was an outstanding teacher.

very knowledgeable and kids friendly

Kevin is tutoring my son. He started liking the subject and enjoying the sessions. Thanks to Kevin for being available on a day notice sometimes. Really appreciate his patience in answering questions.
