Pharmacy Student & Hospital Pharmacy Technician

John G.

Hi there, and thank you for caring about your learning journey! I am a class of 2030 Pharm.D. student and a hospital pharmacy technician. I did my undergraduate work in English literature and I adore good storyelling. I edited an award-winning paper for one of my classmates and did a public reading of some of my creative writing material for a public event hosted by the UH Glass Mountain magazine. I went on to hold a position as a formal instructional tutor at an HISD middle school.

Like many people, I used the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to do some career-based soul searching and landed on pharmacy, which is wonderful work that I never could have imagined I would adore as much as I do. As a pharmacy technician, I became a subject matter expert and trainer in compounded veterinary dosage forms, and chaired the facility's compliance committee. In pursuit of loftier goals in this new career, I made As in organic chemistry I and II, and was awarded Rising Star in Natural Sciences by two professors at Lone Star North Harris, where I've completed my UH College of Pharmacy pre-requisite courses. I was admitted to the UH College of Pharmacy class of 2030 in February 2026, and I am extraordinarily excited to share my approach to learning with you!

Although my background is in the classroom, and although I am more than happy to meet in person for tutoring, I know the challenges of busy work/school schedules often make online tutoring far more feasible for students now. I'm flexible and happy to work with you via whatever method is preferable to you! My teaching style is very personalized to each student. I have a habit of using analogies to reword difficult concepts, and I strive to make sure you're satisfied knowing why what you're learning works the way it does, rather than simply being satisfied that you can repeat it back to me. If that sounds like what you're looking for, then let's get to it!
