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.

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.
Claire's chemistry degree and incoming medical school training at the University of Illinois College of Medicine mean she's worked through biochemistry from both the bench and the clinical side — enzyme mechanisms, metabolic regulation, and the molecular logic connecting organic chemistry to living systems. She breaks down dense pathways like the citric acid cycle or amino acid catabolism by mapping each step back to the underlying reaction chemistry, so students can reconstruct a pathway from principles instead of flashcards. Rated 5.0 by students.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and protein structure all demand a student who can think across chemistry and biology simultaneously — which is exactly what Aleeza's biology degree and MCAT preparation trained her to do. She unpacks topics like Michaelis-Menten kinetics and amino acid chemistry by tying molecular details to the bigger biological picture. Students studying for upper-level biochemistry exams or the MCAT get someone who recently mastered this material herself.
Medical school with a focus on infectious diseases means Grant thinks about biochemistry in terms of host-pathogen interactions — how bacteria hijack metabolic machinery, why certain enzyme targets make effective drug sites, and what happens to energy metabolism during sepsis. His biochemistry degree and MD training let him teach topics like amino acid pathways and enzyme inhibition by connecting each mechanism to the microbiology that brings it to life.
Physical chemistry PhD work at UC Berkeley means Jacob spent years quantifying the thermodynamic and kinetic principles that govern every biochemical process — from enzyme catalysis rates to the free energy changes driving metabolic pathways forward. He teaches biochemistry by unpacking the physical chemistry underneath it, so concepts like Michaelis-Menten kinetics or the energetics of oxidative phosphorylation feel like derivable logic rather than formulas to memorize. Rated 4.9 by students.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein structure — biochemistry demands that students hold molecular-level details and big-picture biological function in their heads simultaneously. Gabe studied neuroscience and behavior as an undergraduate, which meant living in biochemistry coursework and understanding how molecular interactions drive everything from cellular respiration to neurotransmitter signaling. He breaks down dense pathway diagrams into cause-and-effect chains that are far easier to retain.
I am a current student at Washington University in St. Louis, and have been tutoring for the last four years. While I most commonly worked with younger students in the beginning, I gradually took on an influx of older students as my teaching style developed. Because of this, I have experience teaching students from all ages and backgrounds. With my youngest learner ever being 4 years old and my oldest in her 50's, I wholeheartedly believe anyone can learn. I have the experience and desire adapt to each student's unique style of learning in any subject they need; from learning ABCs to multi-variable calculus, I have experience in it all.
I am a junior at the University of Wisconsin--Madison, working toward Bachelor of Science degrees in Biology and Spanish, as well as a Certificate in Leadership. I have volunteered as a tutor of high school students through Centro Hispano and junior high students through Mentoring Positives in Madison, Wisconsin. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about biology, chemistry, and math, as well as the MCAT exam. I place a high emphasis on content comprehension in preparation for standardized tests, as well as in other coursework. I also enjoy teaching Spanish, in which I am proficient. I lived in Seville, Spain during the fall of 2014, and I believe that repeated conversation practice is one of the best ways to learn a language. I also enjoy watching and playing a variety of sports, especially football and basketball, and when given the opportunity, I love to travel.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and protein structure all clicked for Kurt during his Physician Assistant training, where biochemistry wasn't abstract — it was the basis for understanding drug interactions and disease mechanisms. He teaches concepts like Michaelis-Menten kinetics and the citric acid cycle by anchoring them in clinical examples that make the material stick. His 5.0 rating speaks to how well that approach lands with students.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, amino acid chemistry — biochemistry sits right at the intersection of Alex's Bio-Organic Chemistry training. He teaches students to trace the logic of each pathway, connecting molecular structure to biological function so that something like the citric acid cycle becomes a series of predictable chemical transformations rather than an overwhelming diagram to memorize.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein folding — biochemistry lives at the intersection of biology and chemistry, and Varshini's neuroscience major with a chemistry minor put her squarely in that overlap. She unpacks complex pathways like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle by connecting each reaction to its biological purpose, which makes the logic behind regulation and inhibition far easier to retain.
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.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein structure — biochemistry demands that students hold molecular-level detail and big-picture biological function in their heads simultaneously. Yasheen earned dual degrees in biology and cellular/molecular biology from Yale and now works in a cancer biology lab, so she lives in this material daily. She's particularly sharp on topics like amino acid chemistry, Michaelis-Menten kinetics, and the regulation of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein structure, nucleic acid chemistry — biochemistry demands that students hold molecular detail and big-picture logic in their heads simultaneously. Sugi graduated summa cum laude with a biochemistry degree from Rice and now applies that knowledge daily in medical school at Baylor. She teaches each pathway as a narrative with clear inputs, outputs, and regulatory checkpoints rather than a list to memorize.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein structure — biochemistry demands that students hold chemistry and biology in their heads simultaneously, which is exactly what medical school trains you to do daily. Jamie is currently at Sidney Kimmel Medical College and brings firsthand fluency with topics like Michaelis-Menten kinetics, amino acid chemistry, and the regulation of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. He breaks down dense pathway diagrams into step-by-step logic that actually makes sense.
Rohan's economics training might seem distant from biochemistry, but econometrics and metabolic pathway analysis share a core skill — tracing how one variable's change cascades through an interconnected system. He applies that quantitative reasoning to topics like enzyme kinetics and metabolic regulation, breaking down rate equations and feedback loops with the same rigor he brings to economic models. Rated 4.9 by students.
Amino acid structures, enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways — biochemistry demands that students hold molecular details and big-picture logic in their heads at the same time. Paul's biology honors work at Brown required exactly this kind of thinking, and he walks students through reaction mechanisms and pathway regulation with a clarity that makes the material stick.
David's neuroscience training at Yale meant wrestling with biochemistry from the nervous system's perspective — neurotransmitter synthesis, ion channel biophysics, and the metabolic demands that make the brain consume a disproportionate share of the body's glucose. Now pursuing a graduate degree in bioethics, he brings that mechanistic grounding to topics like amino acid chemistry and membrane transport, connecting each reaction to the biological system it supports. Holds a 5.0 rating.
Having worked in biochemical laboratories alongside his dual bachelor's degrees — including one in biochemistry — and his architecture studies at Columbia, Andrew brings a rare structural intuition to topics like protein folding and macromolecular assembly. He teaches metabolic pathways by building them up from their organic chemistry foundations, so students see each reaction as a logical next step rather than an isolated arrow on a diagram. Rated 4.9 by students.
Marc earned his bachelor's in biochemistry before entering an MD/PhD program, so enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and protein structure aren't abstract topics for him — they're daily tools. He breaks down dense material like the citric acid cycle or amino acid chemistry into logical sequences that stick without brute-force memorization.
UCLA's biological sciences program gave Arshia a solid grounding in the molecular machinery of life — protein structure, metabolic pathways, and the organic chemistry that ties them together. She also tutors MCAT prep across multiple sections, which means she's used to explaining concepts like enzyme kinetics and amino acid properties at the level of detail that college biochemistry courses actually demand. Rated 5.0 by students.
