Bio

Hi, I’m Andrew! I am a Neuroscience PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I graduated in 2023 with my BS in Neuroscience, Physics, and Mathematics. I started tutoring various math and science courses in high school. Realizing I had a passion to teach and help students overcome their academic challenges, I continued to tutor in college.

Hi, I’m Andrew! I am a Neuroscience PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I graduated in 2023 with my BS in Neuroscience, Physics, and Mathematics. I started tutoring various math and science courses in high school. Realizing I had a passion to teach and help students overcome their academic challenges, I continued to tutor in college. I received my CRLA I certification and tutored at Drew University’s Center of Academic Excellence. I specialized in tutoring math, chemistry, neuroscience, and physics courses.

Among some of my academic achievements: I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a BS in 2023, and accepted membership to Phi Beta Kappa (a prestigious honors society). I also completed paid summer research internships at NYU and the Flatiron Institute from 2021-2023. My research culminated in an undergraduate thesis and other science manuscripts. I have received numerous academic and research awards including: the Cynthia Baldwin Haselton Scholarship (awarded for outstanding academic record and character), the Tracey J. Shors Neuroscience Prize (awarded for collaborative and multidisciplinary research), and the Novartis Excellence in Neuroscience Award. I succeeded in my graduate application with acceptances to top research universities, including CMU and Georgia Tech.

In the past 6 years, I have tutored over 15 science and mathematics courses from high school level to advanced college material. With my experience I’ve learned numerous teaching methods and try to implement the best style to each student, recognizing not all students learn the same way! I also encourage various study habits depending on each student’s background and skill set. While I enjoy teaching and helping students see their full academic and professional potential, I enjoy learning from them too, appreciating their interests and goals. As a tutor I strive to build student’s confidence so they can continue doing their best work despite challenging material. I hope to serve as a supportive mentor for any and all students!

Exceptional Neuroscience Tutor

My daughter was taking an advanced course and needed last-minute help just days before a high-stakes exam. We weren’t sure we’d be able to find someone with the depth of knowledge required, but Andrew was exactly what we needed. He quickly identified and clarified her very specific questions, explained difficult concepts in a way that truly made them click, and significantly reduced her anxiety. Andrew has a rare ability to talk through complex material while ensuring students genuinely understand it. Thanks to Andrew, my daughter scored very highly on the exam and performed exceptionally well. We were incredibly grateful for his support; his timely help truly made a difference!

Patient, knowledgeable, and dedicated tutor!!

Andrew is by far one of the most amazing people I have worked with! Not only was he extremely knowledgeable in the class I was taking (an intro to neuroscience course at an ivy league school) but he would go ABOVE AND BEYOND at every session and always come prepared to discuss every topic my class covered and even did his own research if he did not already know that much about a certain topic! I was extremely impressed by Andrew’s ability to explain difficult topics as well. He could also explain things in many different ways which helped my understanding tremendously! He’s also an incredibly thoughtful, kind, and patient person. I HIGHLY recommend working with him! He genuinely improved my grade in this class by at least 1-2 full letter grades!! I went into the neuroscience class thinking I would never take another and now i’m enrolled in two more and cannot wait to continue working with him!!

Excellent Tutor!

Andrew is a very knowledgeable and extremely flexible. He ascertains the current skillset of his students and their ultimate goal, then crafts an individual plan for to meet their needs.

Physics tutor

I sent Andrew class notes from the last two weeks the morning of his session with my son and he did a great job of helping him understand the material that before the session my son said I don’t understand any of this! He went into his quiz the next day, much more confident and did well. Definitely recommend.
