Bio

Even though I teach Science at the college level, I always enjoy one on one interactions with high school or college level students, where I can help that person achieve the goals and successes they desire. Most people just lack the confidence, and I so enjoy watching them gain confidence and achieve what they want to.

Even though I teach Science at the college level, I always enjoy one on one interactions with high school or college level students, where I can help that person achieve the goals and successes they desire. Most people just lack the confidence, and I so enjoy watching them gain confidence and achieve what they want to.

I have a broad education with a degree in Chemistry, minor in Math, and a PhD in Biology, so I think this can help me integrate subjects for the student to both engage their interest and find a starting point of strength for them. Students generally comment they find my explanations very clear, with many real life examples, that really helps them to understand the important concepts. I actually work hard at this, to make sure to explain the subject several different ways so that the student can grasp the material well.

One of my main objectives as well is to increase the "academic muscle" of any student I help, so that they are more confident in their own abilities as they move forward, and can make real progress toward their goals.

Study Skills

I teach open access college freshman, no entrance requirements. I see students come in ill prepared to do college work, and have worked very hard to help them acquire the skills that will help them succeed in any career path they choose, so I have some idea of where they need to be as college freshman. I regularly transform freshman A&P students into nursing students (one of whom just informed me she is making an A in nursing school!) The secret ingredients are old-fashioned reading and essay writing skills, especially for this generation of student. They must train to increase their working memory, to begin to understand mastery of subject (rather than factoid memorization). I feel I could adapt my methods very easily to any age group by using the appropriate level study materials. Who better to prepare students for college, than a teacher who sees what is lacking in students and has demonstrated successes in helping them build study skills that will allow them to be successful in any career path?

I have taught College level Genetics and Molecular Biology for many years, and recently tutored a Medical Student in Genetics and Renal Physiology. She scored in the top 10% of her class based upon my help. I was able to coach her on the basics so that she could then understand the medical relevance of the genetics.

See all reviews awesome excellent tutor clear excellent highly recommend

Knowlegable and patient

Went over an evolutionary biology lab assignment that involved the application of certain concepts of DNA, RNA, and proteins. She applied these concepts to the lab, going over the student's answers and supplementing them with additional concepts that might further cement the understanding of the material

Knowledgeable tutor

She is a really good tutor and explains topics well and makes them easier to understand. She helped me in my biochemistry, cell biology and physiology classes. I really enjoy working with her. I would highly recommend her. Thank you Kathleen!

Rupa, 55 lessons with Kathleen

Biology Tutor

Kathleen tutored my son in college level biology. She was explained things in a manner that he was able to understand. She was easy to work with and responsive to messages as well

Jill, 6 lessons with Kathleen

Wonderfully patient and very knowledgeable tutor

Kathy has been a wonderful tutor for my son. She has tutored him last year for his college biology course and is tutoring him this year for his anatomy and physiology course. She if very knowledgeable and can break down material into easily understandable parts. She has been flexible in adjusting her times to fit my son's hectic college schedule. I highly recommend her for any high school or college biology or anatomy tutoring

Anatomy and physiology and microbiology

Kathy is very patient and understanding. When you are struggling to understand something, She will not move on until you understand it. She very knowledgeable and smart. Thank you Kathy for all your help , Abby

Very Patient

Thanks Ms.Kathleen, I appreciate you taking the time to help me. While the content was likely different from what she has seen initially she adapted and was able to help me just the right amount. I look forward to our next session.

Aaraven, 1 lesson with Kathleen

Wonderful Tutor

Kathy is an amazing tutor and person to work with. She made some of the hardest and most difficult medical biochemistry and physiology topics much easier to understand. What I love about her as a tutor is she is able to meet you at the level of knowledge you are at and help break down the difficult material to a level you can better understand and together go from there. I really enjoy our time together and it goes by fast in a way that I look forward to our sessions even knowing I am going through some really hard topics. She has helped me tremendously in medical school as I navigated my first year and I look forward to working with her throughout the rest of my years as a medical student.

Great Tutor

I have used Kathleen for my MCAT and now genetics, and she’s great! Very knowledgeable and has great ways to explaining things. She also is super flexible!

Seerat, 17 lessons with Kathleen

Very Sweet & Great Tutor

Dr. Kathy helped me better understand what happens during skeletal muscle contractions, cardiac cycle, and better understanding the levels of organization. I really appreciated her humor and her helping me to better grasp the simple concepts by giving real life examples. After our session, I am feeling more confident in my ability to better walk through the material and understand it on my own. I’m looking forward to getting more help in the future. I don’t feel like I’m drowning in material anymore and that I can actually swim now. I would recommend Dr. Kathy to anyone I know who needs physiology help.
