PhD-Trained Scientist & University Professor: Master in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and MCAT Prep

Welcome to my tutoring profile! I'm a university professor and an enthusiastic private tutor, deeply passionate about science and education. My academic path has taken me across continents, contributing significantly to my professional growth. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Biological Sciences from the Universidade Federal do Ceara, a Ph.D. in Toxicology and Cancer Biology from the University of Kentucky, and have completed post-doctoral training at the Markey Cancer Center. My educational background forms a solid foundation for my expertise in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Pharmacology, Genetics, and MCAT Biochemistry preparation.

I bring a wealth of teaching experience from various educational settings and student groups. As a university professor, I teach medical microbiology students in scientific communication, biochemistry, and molecular biology. This classroom experience has equipped me with effective group management and engagement skills. Additionally, I have extensive one-on-one tutoring experience. I've worked as an Online Teaching Fellow at the CellBio-London Training Academy, covering toxicology, pharmacology, cancer biology, and more. My volunteer work at the Carnegie Center in Lexington, KY, tutoring high school students in AP Biology and AP Chemistry, has further refined my personalized teaching approach.

Significantly, I have a strong track record in preparing students for the MCAT, particularly in the Biochemistry section. I understand the challenges and nuances of this demanding exam and have developed strategies to help pre-med students not only understand the material but also apply it effectively under exam conditions.

My tutoring approach is tailored to each student's learning style and academic needs. I strive to create an engaging and interactive environment, encouraging questions and discussions that deepen understanding. Whether it's helping a high school student ace their AP exams, guiding a college student through biochemical concepts, or preparing a pre-med student for the MCAT, my goal is to make learning both enjoyable and fruitful.

I invite you to start this educational journey with me. My dedication is to provide a supportive, enriching, and customized learning experience that aligns with your specific goals and aspirations.
