Hello! My name is Josh, and I hold a Ph.D. in Biophysical Chemistry from Duquesne University. Over the past several years, I've worked as a biomedical research scientist studying cancer immunology while also teaching undergraduate chemistry and biology courses at both Duquesne University and Montgomery College. Throughout graduate school, my postdoctoral training, and my research career, I've mentored students at every stage - from introductory college science courses to advanced laboratory research. My passion has always been helping students understand why scientific concepts work rather than simply memorizing facts for an exam.
I specialize in General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, and related life science courses. Whether you're preparing for an upcoming exam, struggling with homework, reviewing for the MCAT, or trying to build a stronger foundation in science, I tailor each lesson to your individual learning style. I know that science can feel overwhelming, especially when a class moves quickly, so I focus on breaking difficult concepts into manageable pieces while helping students develop confidence and effective study strategies that extend beyond a single assignment or test.
My goal is not only to help you improve your grades, but to help you become an independent learner who truly understands the material. I strive to create a relaxed, supportive environment where questions are always encouraged and mistakes are viewed as opportunities to learn. Whether you're a high school student, college student, or adult learner returning to the classroom, I'm committed to helping you achieve your academic goals and discover that science is much more approachable than it often seems.
