About Jonathan

In high school I found myself struggling to pass my IB science courses and it wasn't until I found a tutor that I was able to turn my grades around. We focused on practicing the problems rather than reading the text book. This is the same technique I bring to my tutoring now. A problem based approach that uses the reading as support material rather than the focal point.

Since high school I have graduated from the University of Washington earning a degree in Neurobiology with a minor in Microbiology. I have worked professionally as a reasearch associate at Yale University and have published into peer reviewed Journals. I am now a second year medical student at Albany Medical College with hopes of becoming a neurosurgeon.

Subjects I can teach:

Neurobiology

Microbiology

Biochemistry

Genetics

General Biology

Anatomy

MCAT: 517 (96th percentile)

As a second year medical student I spend most of my day studying, which has helped me to develop some tricks to make studying more efficient and more enjoyable. I volunteer at a local high school to help students through their biology labs, and have learned ways to break down some of the barriers that keep students from studying science (it's usually chemistry)

About the lesson

With a new student I like to have an informal interview about their current study techniques and what study techniques they've tried, this way I can tailor my tutoring towards the student for a more enjoyable and effective session. I also think a tutor's job is to turn roadblocks into speed bumps, so I like to pay special attention to the concepts the student is struggling with. So if for instance the student has been struggling to master all the steps of glycolysis because of the chemistry I can focus on the specific pieces of foundational chemistry needed to understand the process and hopefully save the student from wasting time searching for the answers online. I can also help with tricky homework problems and test taking stratigies.
