Jordan
Certified Biochemistry Tutor
Jordan
BA Rhodes College • Doctor of Medicine, Premedicine The University of Tennessee
1+ Years Tutoring

Four years of medical school means Jordan has cycled through biochemistry multiple times — first mastering it for premed coursework, then again for the MCAT, and again for USMLE Step 1 — each pass deepening his grasp of how pathways like the urea cycle and oxidative phosphorylation connect to clinical medicine. That layered repetition lets him teach metabolic integration the way it actually gets tested: not as isolated reactions, but as interconnected systems where disrupting one enzyme cascades through the whole picture. Rated 5.0 by students.

Hunter
Certified Biochemistry Tutor
Hunter
Current Undergrad, Biochemistry Boston College
10+ Years Tutoring

Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein structure–function relationships — Biochemistry sits at the intersection of biology and chemistry, and it demands comfort in both. Hunter earned his undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at Boston College and is continuing into a PhD at Duke, so he teaches topics like Michaelis-Menten kinetics and amino acid chemistry from years of hands-on experience rather than surface-level familiarity.

Taylor
BA Wake Forest University
9+ Years Tutoring

Tutoring organic and general chemistry in Wake Forest's Chemistry Department — while earning an honors degree with a biochemistry concentration — meant Taylor was constantly connecting reaction mechanisms to the biological contexts where they matter. She breaks down topics like enzyme catalysis and metabolic pathway logic by building from the organic chemistry students already know, so each new intermediate or cofactor role slots into place instead of floating in isolation.

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.

Certified Biochemistry Tutor
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.

Steven
BA Drexel University
5+ Years Tutoring

Studying organismal physiology at Drexel meant Steven spent serious time with enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and protein structure-function relationships — the core of any biochemistry course. He unpacks topics like the citric acid cycle and amino acid chemistry by tying each reaction back to its biological purpose, which makes the dense material easier to retain.

Emmanuel
BA Johns Hopkins University
4+ Years Tutoring

Genome editing at Rice and computational neuroscience at Hopkins meant Emmanuel had to internalize biochemistry at the molecular level — from CRISPR-associated enzyme mechanisms to the metabolic pathways fueling neural tissue. That hands-on lab fluency lets him teach topics like protein structure and nucleotide chemistry by grounding each concept in the experimental context where it actually matters. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Jason
BA University of Kentucky
7+ Years Tutoring

Teaching organic chemistry recitation at the University of Kentucky while simultaneously navigating medical school gives Jason an unusually current grasp of biochemistry — he's actively working through the same metabolic regulation, amino acid structures, and enzyme mechanisms his students encounter. His biology degree and MCAT preparation anchor the molecular details, while his med school training shows him how those details play out in living systems. Rated 5.0 by students.

Saniya
BA Rhodes College
8+ Years Tutoring

Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein structure — biochemistry asks students to think across chemistry and biology simultaneously, which is exactly what Saniya's neuroscience and chemistry training prepared her for. She unpacks complex topics like Michaelis-Menten kinetics or amino acid properties by linking molecular behavior to biological function, making dense material more intuitive. Her continued coursework in physiology and histology keeps these connections sharp.

Asad
BA Rice University
1+ Years Tutoring

Preparing for medical school at UT Houston while finishing a chemistry degree at Rice means Asad has been living in biochemistry from both sides — the rigorous organic and physical chemistry foundations and the biological systems they plug into. He's especially sharp on the MCAT-relevant intersections, like how enzyme mechanisms tie back to organic reaction logic or how metabolic pathway regulation connects to thermodynamic principles. Rated 4.7 by students.

Sophie
BA Drexel University
4+ Years Tutoring

Lab research and patient care gave Sophie a dual perspective on biochemistry — she's traced metabolic pathways at the bench and seen what happens clinically when those pathways break down. Her biological and physical sciences degree means she teaches topics like enzyme mechanisms and pathway regulation by pulling in the organic chemistry and thermodynamics that explain *why* each step occurs, not just what comes next. Rated 4.9 by students.

Aimee
BA Georgia Institute of Technology-Main Campus • Current Grad Student, Biological/Biosystems Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology
8+ Years Tutoring

Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, and protein structure sit right at the intersection of Aimee's two degrees — chemical engineering and biosystems engineering. She unpacks topics like Michaelis-Menten kinetics and amino acid chemistry by tying them to the biomedical research context she works in at Georgia Tech, making dense material feel purposeful.

Ivan
BA Massachusetts Institute of Technology
4+ Years Tutoring

Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, amino acid chemistry — biochemistry asks students to think like both a biologist and a chemist simultaneously. Ivan's background spanning cognitive science and the biological sciences, plus his MCAT teaching experience, means he can unpack reaction mechanisms and protein structure in ways that connect molecular detail to bigger physiological stories.

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.
