Matt
Certified Biochemistry Tutor
Matt
MS Columbia University in the City of New York • BA University of Pittsburgh
1+ Years Tutoring

Matt's graduate work in human nutrition required him to trace every major metabolic pathway from the molecular level up — how macronutrients get broken down, shuttled through the citric acid cycle, and ultimately converted to usable energy. That nutritional biochemistry lens means he teaches topics like lipid metabolism and amino acid catabolism with a constant eye on physiological context, making reaction sequences feel purposeful rather than arbitrary. Holds a 5.0 rating.

David
Certified Biochemistry Tutor
David
MS University of Notre Dame • BA Franklin College
9+ Years Tutoring

Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein structure — biochemistry sits at the intersection of two subjects David studied formally, with a bachelor's in chemistry and graduate-level exposure to biomolecular engineering. He digs into mechanisms like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle by connecting each step's chemistry to its biological purpose, so students retain the logic instead of just the diagram. That approach has earned him a 4.9 student rating.

Janki
BA University of Kentucky
6+ Years Tutoring

Neuroscience majors don't just memorize biochemistry — they depend on it, and Janki's coursework at Kentucky meant tracing every concept from neurotransmitter metabolism to oxidative phosphorylation back to the underlying chemical logic. She teaches topics like enzyme regulation and pathway energetics by building each mechanism piece by piece, so students can predict what happens next in a pathway instead of relying on rote recall. Rated 4.8 by students.

Zachary
MS University Of Copenhagen • BA Marymount Manhattan College
1+ Years Tutoring

Zachary earned both his BS in Biology and a master's in Molecular Biology, which means he's traced biochemical pathways from two different altitudes — the broad cellular view and the granular molecular detail. That dual training comes through when he unpacks topics like lipid metabolism or allosteric enzyme regulation, building each concept from its chemical logic so the bigger metabolic map starts to make sense on its own.

Ibi
BA Boston University • Current Grad Student, Post-Bac Premedical Sciences Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

Enzyme kinetics, amino acid structures, metabolic pathways — Biochemistry demands that students hold molecular details and big-picture biological function in their heads simultaneously. Ibi is actively studying these topics in her premedical post-bac program, so she explains concepts like Michaelis-Menten curves and lipid metabolism with the fluency of someone who just worked through them herself. That recency makes a real difference when a student is stuck at 11 p.m. before an exam.

Dennis
MS Vanderbilt University • BA Grinnell College
1+ Years Tutoring

Few tutors can teach biochemistry from the perspective of someone who lived it at the graduate level. Dennis holds a Masters in Chemical and Physical Biology from Vanderbilt and an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry, so topics like enzyme kinetics, metabolic regulation, and protein structure are second nature. He walks through reaction mechanisms and pathway logic in a way that builds real understanding rather than rote memorization.

Shayan
BA University at Buffalo • Current Grad Student, Pre-Health University of Pennsylvania
1+ Years Tutoring

Studying biochemistry at Penn as part of a pre-health track, Shayan lives in the world of enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and protein structure daily. He breaks down dense topics like the citric acid cycle or amino acid chemistry using visual analogies and step-by-step logic that make the connections between reactions stick long after the session ends.

Certified Biochemistry Tutor
Tina
BA Cornell University
1+ Years Tutoring

Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein structure — biochemistry asks students to think about molecules as dynamic systems, not static diagrams. Tina's engineering background at Cornell and her pre-med preparation mean she can unpack topics like Michaelis-Menten kinetics or amino acid chemistry with both quantitative rigor and biological context.

Jhonatan
BA University of Chicago
10+ Years Tutoring

Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and protein structure all demand a kind of thinking that sits right at the intersection of biology and chemistry — exactly where Jhonatan's neuroscience training lives. He unpacks topics like Michaelis-Menten kinetics and amino acid chemistry by connecting molecular details to the larger biological question of why a cell needs this reaction in the first place. Rated 5.0 by students.

Certified Biochemistry Tutor
Monika
BA Boston College • Doctor of Philosophy, Molecular Biology CUNY
1+ Years Tutoring

Earning a BS in Biochemistry from Boston College and then completing a PhD in molecular biology means Monika has spent years immersed in enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and protein structure-function relationships. She tackles tough topics like the citric acid cycle and Michaelis-Menten kinetics by connecting each reaction to its biological purpose, turning rote memorization into logical storytelling.

Certified Biochemistry Tutor
Thomas
BA Rice University • MD Rice University
1+ Years Tutoring

Medical school required Thomas to internalize biochemistry at a level most undergrads never reach — enzyme kinetics, metabolic regulation, amino acid chemistry, and the signaling cascades that tie them together. He breaks down dense pathways like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle into logical sequences so students can reason through problems instead of relying on rote memorization. Rated 5.0 by students.

Certified Biochemistry Tutor
Connor
MS Loyola University-Chicago • BA University of Notre Dame
6+ Years Tutoring

Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein folding — Connor digs into biochemistry with the depth his biomedical sciences master's from Loyola Chicago demanded. He connects molecular-level details to physiological outcomes, so a student learning about Michaelis-Menten kinetics also understands what it means when a drug is a competitive inhibitor in a clinical context.
