Medical Student at Dartmouth who was a former tutor at UCSD

Bryan C.

I am currently a medical student at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and a graduate of the University of California, San Diego, where I earned both a Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience and Physiology and a Master of Science in Biology. My academic training has provided me with a strong foundation in the sciences, from cellular and molecular biology to systems physiology and neuroscience. I have also completed certifications in personal training and sports nutrition, which complement my background in anatomy, physiology, and evidence-based performance.

My tutoring experience began at UC San Diego, where I worked as a tutor for the Office of Academic Support and Instructional Services. I taught courses such as precalculus and statistics, led study workshops twice a week, and created customized lesson plans that emphasized active learning and problem-solving. I also designed the department’s first statistics workshop to help students build conceptual understanding and data literacy. Over several years, I worked with students ranging from high school seniors entering college to undergraduate students majoring in the sciences. My approach is rooted in clarity, structure, and mentorship, helping students not just memorize but truly understand and apply what they learn.

Having tutored and mentored students from diverse backgrounds, I aim to make complex material approachable and to help learners build confidence in their abilities. Whether guiding pre-med students through challenging biology concepts or helping younger learners strengthen foundational study skills, I focus on cultivating disciplined, efficient study habits and an appreciation for learning that lasts beyond the classroom.
