Connor
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.

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.

Claire
BA Emory University • Doctor of Medicine, Molecular Medicine University of Illinois at Chicago
6+ Years Tutoring

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.

Aleeza
BA University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
7+ Years Tutoring

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.

Grant
BA Case Western Reserve University • Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine Northwestern University
7+ Years Tutoring

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.

Jacob
BA Haverford College • Doctor of Philosophy, Physical Chemistry University of California-Berkeley
8+ Years Tutoring

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.

Gabe
BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Miriam
BA University
2+ Years Tutoring

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.

Matt
BA University of Wisconsin Madison
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Kurt
BA Rochester Institute of Technology
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Matthew
BA Washington University in St. Louis
1+ Years Tutoring

Managing an immunology lab means Matthew doesn't just teach enzyme kinetics, protein structure, or metabolic pathways from a textbook — he uses them daily in his breast cancer research at Columbia. He walks through topics like signal transduction, amino acid chemistry, and lipid metabolism with the kind of specificity that turns confusing diagrams into logical sequences students can actually reason through.

Phoebe
MS University of North Texas • BA The University of Texas at Austin
4+ Years Tutoring

Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein structure — biochemistry sits at the intersection of biology and chemistry, and students often struggle because they try to learn each topic in isolation. Phoebe's Master's in Biomedical Sciences gave her deep fluency in exactly these systems, from amino acid chemistry to the regulation of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. She unpacks each pathway by connecting molecular structure to biological function, which makes the logic stick.

Alex
BA Mcgill University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Josef
BA Cornell University
1+ Years Tutoring

Having served as an undergraduate teaching assistant for introductory biochemistry at Cornell, Josef knows exactly which concepts — cofactor roles, enzyme regulation, the interplay between metabolic pathways — trip students up for the first time. He teaches by showing how biochemistry synthesizes organic chemistry, cell biology, and thermodynamics into a single coherent story, so each pathway feels like a logical extension rather than a separate thing to memorize. Rated 5.0 by students.
