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.

Kimanthi
BA Duke University • Current Grad Student, Biomedical Sciences Drexel University
7+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.

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.

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.
