College Level Sciences
College-level science courses challenge students to think critically, synthesize complex information, and apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios.
Whether a student is pursuing a degree in the sciences or taking these courses to fulfill a general education requirement, my goal is to provide clear explanations, practical examples, and individualized guidance that help them truly understand rather than simply memorize.
Biology (Majors and Non-Majors)
For Majors:
Students in introductory biology for majors dive deep into molecular biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and physiology.
We’ll focus on connecting foundational principles — such as cell structure, energy flow, and adaptation — to real biological systems. I emphasize visual learning through diagrams, conceptual mapping, and experimental design to strengthen comprehension and exam performance.
For Non-Majors:
This course often explores biology in everyday life — from human health to environmental sustainability. I help non-majors understand how biology relates to current issues and personal well-being, using plain-language explanations and interactive examples to make science approachable and relevant.
Organic Chemistry
Often seen as one of the most challenging college sciences, organic chemistry is truly about patterns and logic, not memorization.
We’ll break down the subject into manageable pieces: structure, bonding, functional groups, mechanisms, and spectroscopy. Through guided practice, reaction mapping, and mechanism visualization, students develop the intuition and problem-solving confidence needed to master Orgo.
Microbiology
Microbiology introduces students to the unseen world of microorganisms — bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa — and their essential roles in health, ecology, and biotechnology.
Whether studying for an allied health career or a biology major, I emphasize connecting microscopic concepts to practical relevance in medicine, food safety, and research.
Cell Biology
Cell Biology bridges molecular processes with larger biological systems.
Students explore how organelles, membranes, and molecular machines coordinate the essential functions of life.
I focus on making abstract molecular interactions more tangible through drawings and analogies that show how every process connects to energy flow and cell survival.
