Outstanding knowledgeable Tutor

Masimbiti, 7 lessons with Cherub

Cherub is our number one tutor, the kind of tutor that every student needs and wishes they had. She tutored me in a complex and difficult course in neurophysiology and presented the material so that it clear, simple ans easy to understand. She broke everything down into digestible pieces and explained how each concept related to and worked with the others, what happened, when and why. Cherub showed me the structure and functions of the three parts of the nervous system; together we compared...

Cherub is our number one tutor, the kind of tutor that every student needs and wishes they had. She tutored me in a complex and difficult course in neurophysiology and presented the material so that it clear, simple ans easy to understand. She broke everything down into digestible pieces and explained how each concept related to and worked with the others, what happened, when and why. Cherub showed me the structure and functions of the three parts of the nervous system; together we compared and contrasted the way the PNS and SNS work, looking where specific nerve fibers originate and the organs they innervate; we studied the anatomy of each system and the neurotransmitters, receptors and effects of stimulation for each one. We covered how the CNS and the PNS communicate with each other, including pre-ganglionic and post-ganglionic neurons in the SNS and PNS, their differences, the hormones produced and the cell receptors they act on in target tissues.. We also studied the transmission of nerve impulses by NT, the properties of neuronal action-potentials and neuronal communication, the major motor and sensory pathways, how neuronal pathways are altered and much more. Despite the breadth of material that was covered, the most impressive thing to me was the way the information was delivered so clearly, so that it was easy to follow and to remember. I especially appreciated the way Cherub distilled critical information, key concepts and hot topics, and the way she used diagrams, systematically explaining relationships between things. She was so effective in her teaching that the time flew by and I found myself wanting more. Her teaching excited me: I felt happy and energized even though I was calm and relaxed; it was a magical experience for me — I certainly have never experienced anything like this before studying pathophysiology. My excitement, energy and motivation rose in concert with Cherub’s energy and enthusiasm; her enthusiasm for the subject is infectious. She takes you on a special journey and guides you every step of the way. She constantly asks for feedback to make sure you are keeping up. We navigated through the subject together and I learned a great deal about pathophysiology. Cherub’s tutoring work on my behalf is worthy of a trophy. She is outstanding. This is a difficult course and many students have a lot of trouble learning the material, but if every tutor is as effective as Cherub has been with me, I believe that every student will be successful in this course. I passed Advanced Pathophysiology and now we are tackling Advanced Pharmacology.
