Hi, and thanks for taking a look at my profile. My name is Dr. E., and I hold a Ph.D. in Biochemistry along with postdoctoral research experience, and I currently work as a laboratory safety specialist at a major research university. I tutor biochemistry and general chemistry — subjects I've spent years living inside, first as a graduate and postdoctoral researcher and now as a professional who works with and explains chemistry regularly. With a doctorate specifically in biochemistry, I bring real depth to the material: I don't just know the right answers, I understand why they're right, where students predictably get stuck, and how to get them unstuck.
My approach is built around understanding, not memorization. Biochemistry overwhelms students who try to memorize every pathway and intermediate in isolation, so instead I teach the underlying logic — how energy flows, why a pathway is regulated where it is, and how a molecule's structure dictates what it does — so the details start to make sense instead of needing to be crammed. General chemistry works the same way: rather than plugging numbers into formulas you don't really understand, we build from core principles like periodic trends, equilibrium, thermodynamics, and acid-base behavior, so you can reason your way through unfamiliar problems on an exam. I meet you wherever you are: if you're fighting to survive a tough course, we'll target the highest-yield concepts and exam strategy; if you want to truly master the material for the MCAT, graduate school, or your own curiosity, we'll go deeper. I'm patient, I'll explain a concept more than one way until the version that clicks for you lands, and I genuinely enjoy the moment a hard idea finally makes sense.
If that sounds like the kind of help you're looking for, reach out and let me know what you're working on — the specific course, your textbook, and what's giving you trouble — and we'll put together a plan to get you where you need to be.
