Experienced Educator in Biology, Chemistry, and Math

Bryan L.

I am a PhD student in Physiology at the Medical College of Wisconsin with a strong background in biology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, and general science. I earned both my B.S. and M.S. in Genetics from the University of New Hampshire, and my current doctoral research focuses on vascular biology, cell signaling, cytoskeletal regulation, and disease mechanisms. I am comfortable tutoring biology, genetics, molecular biology, physiology, biochemistry, general chemistry, algebra, and basic statistics.

I have about three years of teaching experience from serving as an introductory biology laboratory teaching assistant at the University of New Hampshire. In that role, I taught undergraduate students in a classroom and lab setting, guided them through experiments, explained difficult concepts, answered questions during and outside of class, graded assignments, and helped students build confidence with scientific material. I also mentored students in a research lab during my master’s program, helping them understand experimental design, data interpretation, lab techniques, and scientific writing.

My tutoring style is patient, organized, and student-centered. I know that science can feel overwhelming when it is presented as memorization, so I focus on helping students understand the logic behind the material. I break complex topics into smaller steps, use diagrams and real-world examples, and connect new information to concepts the student already knows. I adapt my approach depending on whether a student needs help preparing for exams, working through practice problems, understanding lab reports, improving study habits, or building a stronger foundation.

I have worked mostly with college students, but I am also comfortable tutoring high school students. My goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and can become more confident, independent learners.
