Experienced Science Tutor Specializing in Microbiology

Brandon T.

Hello! My name is Brandon Tower, and I am a science tutor with a strong academic and research background in the biological and chemical sciences. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Microbiology with a minor in Chemistry, graduating summa cum laude, and went on to complete a Master of Science in Public Health with a concentration in Microbiology and Emerging Infectious Diseases. I am currently working as a researcher at The George Washington University, where I continue to apply and deepen my scientific expertise.
My academic training spans a wide range of subjects, including microbiology, chemistry, anatomy, biochemistry, epidemiology, and statistics, with my strongest specialization in microbiology and related life sciences. I also bring hands-on teaching experience to my tutoring: I have tutored high school students and served as a teaching assistant at Grand Valley State University for advanced human anatomy, genetics, and introductory microbiology courses. These roles helped me develop strong skills in explaining complex scientific concepts clearly and effectively to students at different levels.
My teaching philosophy is centered on an individualized approach. I tailor each lesson to a student’s learning style, strengths, and goals, whether that means breaking down challenging material step by step, using visual aids and real-world examples, or focusing on problem-solving and exam strategies. Through my teaching assistant experiences, I discovered a genuine passion for teaching and for helping students build confidence alongside mastery of the material.
If you’re looking for personalized, supportive tutoring in the sciences, I’d love to help. Please feel free to reach out to learn more or to schedule lessons—I look forward to working with you!
