Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!
Quinn

I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Frequently Asked Questions
French-language biochemistry students often find metabolic pathways—particularly glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation—challenging because they require tracking multiple substrates, cofactors, and energy molecules simultaneously. Protein structure and enzyme kinetics are also common pain points, as students must visualize 3D molecular geometry while mastering French terminology like cinétique enzymatique and substrat. The dual challenge of learning complex biochemical concepts while doing so in French means students benefit from tutors who can clarify both the chemistry and the language used to describe it.
Beyond vocabulary differences, French biochemistry texts often use different naming conventions and organizational approaches than English materials—for example, French sources may emphasize historical context or use alternative reaction mechanisms. Students studying in French may also have limited access to English-language problem sets and multimedia resources that are abundant for English speakers. A tutor experienced with French biochemistry can bridge this gap by helping students translate between French and English resources, clarify terminology-specific confusion, and build confidence navigating French scientific literature.
Enzyme kinetics involves abstract concepts like Michaelis-Menten equations, substrate saturation, and inhibition types that are difficult to grasp from textbooks alone. A tutor can use visual tools and step-by-step walkthroughs to show how enzyme-substrate complexes form, why Km and Vmax matter, and how competitive versus non-competitive inhibition actually affects reaction rates. Working through real examples—like how drugs inhibit enzymes or how cells regulate metabolic flux—transforms enzyme kinetics from memorized equations into a coherent framework for understanding cellular chemistry.
Metabolic pathways are often taught separately—glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, the urea cycle—but students struggle to see how they're coordinated by hormones, energy status, and allosteric regulation. A tutor can map these pathways together, showing how glucose availability shifts the cell between anabolic and catabolic states, or how lactate from glycolysis feeds back into gluconeogenesis during fasting. This systems-level thinking transforms biochemistry from a collection of isolated reactions into a dynamic, interconnected network that mirrors how cells actually work.
French biochemistry exams often require students to predict reaction products, balance redox equations, or calculate enzyme kinetics parameters—all while reading and responding in French. Tutors can teach systematic approaches like drawing out electron flow in oxidation-reduction reactions, using the Michaelis-Menten equation step-by-step, or applying Le Chatelier's principle to enzyme-catalyzed systems. Breaking down multi-step problems into smaller, manageable pieces and practicing with both French and translated problems builds both problem-solving fluency and language confidence.
Students often memorize protein structures—alpha helices, beta sheets, tertiary folds—without understanding why these shapes matter for function. A tutor can show how a protein's active site geometry determines substrate specificity, how hydrophobic cores stabilize folding, or how disulfide bonds in extracellular proteins prevent unraveling. Using specific examples like hemoglobin's cooperative binding or how prion diseases involve misfolding helps students see that protein biochemistry is really about how shape enables or prevents chemical reactions.
Lab practicals often feel disconnected from lecture material—students perform enzyme assays or protein purifications without fully grasping the underlying biochemistry. A tutor can explain why you're measuring absorbance at specific wavelengths, how gel electrophoresis separates proteins by charge and size, or what the Bradford assay actually tells you about protein concentration. This bridges the gap between hands-on experimental skills and the theoretical framework, making lab results more meaningful and helping students troubleshoot when experiments don't work as expected.
French biochemistry exams often combine short-answer questions requiring precise terminology, mechanism drawings, and calculations—all demanding both scientific accuracy and clear French expression. Tutors can build practice routines that include reviewing French scientific vocabulary in context, working through past exam questions, and providing feedback on both content accuracy and clarity of explanation. Mock exams conducted in French help students build confidence managing time pressure while thinking in a non-native language, a critical skill for performing well on standardized assessments.
