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.

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.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein folding — biochemistry sits at the intersection of biology and chemistry, and Zachary holds a degree in exactly that. He digs into the molecular logic behind processes like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle, connecting reaction mechanisms to the bigger physiological picture so the details actually stick.
Four years of medical school gave Amanda a particular edge with the biochemistry that underpins clinical reasoning — she's internalized how disruptions in lipid metabolism or glycogen storage pathways manifest as actual disease states. Her biology degree and public health training add breadth, letting her teach topics like nucleotide biosynthesis or enzyme regulation by zooming out to the physiological stakes behind each reaction. Rated 4.7 by students.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein structure — biochemistry asks students to think in three dimensions and across multiple reaction steps simultaneously. Kimanthi's biomedical engineering degree and graduate work in biomedical sciences gave her daily exposure to these concepts in both classroom and lab settings. She breaks down mechanisms like glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation into logical sequences rather than memorization marathons.
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.
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.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein folding — biochemistry sits at the exact intersection of Meghan's biology degree and her medical training. She unpacks reaction mechanisms and molecular interactions by tying them to clinical contexts, turning dense material like the citric acid cycle or amino acid chemistry into something students can reason through rather than just memorize.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, protein folding — biochemistry sits at the intersection of everything Lena studied in her biology and biomedical sciences degrees. She breaks down topics like Michaelis-Menten kinetics and amino acid chemistry by connecting molecular details to the larger physiological picture, which is especially useful for students preparing for medical school.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, amino acid chemistry — biochemistry asks you to think like a chemist and a biologist at the same time. As a medical student who majored in biology with a genetics focus at Cornell, Etinosa tackles these topics by anchoring abstract reaction mechanisms to their biological consequences, making pathways like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle feel logical rather than like brute memorization.
Pursuing a Ph.D. in biochemistry at Drexel means Sam lives inside this subject — enzyme kinetics, protein folding, metabolic pathways, and biomolecular interactions aren't exam topics to review but daily research problems to solve. Students struggling with something like the citric acid cycle or Michaelis-Menten kinetics get explanations grounded in real lab experience, not just textbook summaries.
Currently doing post-bac research in immunology at the University of Pennsylvania, Kristina applies biochemistry daily — tracing how immune signaling cascades depend on protein modifications, receptor-ligand interactions, and the metabolic reprogramming that activates different immune cell types. Her biology degree and organic chemistry background let her unpack dense topics like enzyme mechanisms and pathway regulation by building from the underlying chemistry rather than asking students to memorize arrows on a diagram.
I am open to tutoring in a broad range of subjects, including Algebra, Spanish I/II, ESL and Biology (SAT II, AP, and MCAT).
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic regulation, and protein structure-function relationships are the backbone of biochemistry — and they're exactly what Kimberly spent her time at UNC Chapel Hill digging into as a biology major with a biochemistry focus. She tackles problems by walking through the underlying chemistry of each biological process, so students understand why a Lineweaver-Burk plot looks the way it does instead of just memorizing the graph.
Kevin earned his bachelor's in biochemistry and is now in medical school, so metabolic pathways, enzyme kinetics, and protein structure aren't just textbook topics for him — they're concepts he uses constantly. He breaks down complex cycles like glycolysis and the citric acid cycle into logical sequences rather than brute-force memorization lists. Rated 5.0 by students.
I am currently a second year medical student. I was a Physiological Sciences major at UCLA (class of 2015), and pursued research during my gap year between undergrad and medical school.
I am a graduate of Columbia University with a degree in Neuroscience and an informal concentration in Artificial Intelligence. I also have a degree in Medicine from St. George's University. I have pursued biomedical research, and since turned an interest in tutoring that began while I was a student into a professional calling. I have tutored for a private tutoring company, for schools as a student tutor, and privately for individuals. While I am exceptionally well versed in Math and the Sciences, I also excel in Reading Comprehension, Writing, and have successfully tutored those subjects.
I am very motivated to help others reach their academic goals. I am currently a master's student studying Immunology, but I have a background in general biology and chemistry, too, with a heavy emphasis on molecular biology and genetics.
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.
Mitchell's neuroscience degree means he learned biochemistry through the brain's lens — tracing how neurotransmitter precursors feed into synthesis pathways, how ATP production keeps neurons firing, and how lipid biochemistry shapes every membrane in the nervous system. That background lets him teach topics like oxidative phosphorylation and amino acid metabolism by connecting each reaction to the cellular machinery that depends on it.
I am a senior at the University of New Haven working on a B.S. in Forensic Science-Biology with a Pre-Medical designation who hopes to go to medical school in the future. I am most passionate about biology and chemistry but have a strong personal interest in history, especially topics overlooked in the past study of history. To me, learning is a life long process and leads to the development of a well-rounded individual. Seeing understanding of a difficult topic and creating enthusiasm for learning is what draws me to 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.
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.
Enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways, amino acid chemistry — biochemistry sits right at the intersection of Umar's biology degree and his medical school coursework. He unpacks dense topics like the citric acid cycle or protein folding by tying each reaction to a physiological consequence, which makes the logic of the pathway easier to internalize than rote memorization ever could.
As a biochemistry major at Stony Brook who also serves as a chemistry peer tutor and head teaching assistant for college biology, Natalie lives in the overlap between organic chemistry and cellular function that defines this subject. She breaks down topics like enzyme mechanisms and metabolic pathway logic by building from the reaction chemistry first, then layering in the biological context — so students can reason through an unfamiliar pathway instead of memorizing every intermediate. Rated 4.9 by students.
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, amino acid structures — biochemistry asks students to hold an enormous amount of detail in their heads while still thinking mechanistically. Emily's pre-med coursework and global health studies at Cornell gave her a deep familiarity with how biological molecules behave at the chemical level, and she teaches students to see the logic connecting protein structure to function rather than treating each pathway as an isolated list.
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.
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.
