Award-Winning Biochemistry Tutors serving Madison, WI

Hello, I'm Richard and I love teaching. There are few things more rewarding than being able to create enthusiasm for a subject area. My favorites are math, physics and music. I grew up Spanish bilingual and can teach in both languages having TA'd college level Spanish courses. I also lived in Germany for a year and can help students with that. I have a B.S. in Math, B.S. in Physics and a masters degree in...

...Swarthmore College, I studied biology and Spanish, and also did a considerable amount of art. Between high school and college, and then again between college and graduate school, I took time off to travel and refine my interests. Now in graduate school, I research symbiotic fungi in agricultural ecosystems. I am super excited about sustainable agriculture, fungal biology, and phylogeny. With strong passion and patience, I help students learn and love science.

I fell in love with tutoring while I worked as a tutor for university athletes in college. I'm a science nerd and enjoy sharing my knowledge with others in a way that gets them excited to learn as well.

...in Ecology and Environmental Science in the latter. I am currently working as a research and development chemist at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a small biotechnology company in Madison. While I am new to tutoring, I have led study groups throughout high school and college in science and math, which I feel comfortable teaching. My goal for tutoring is to increase confidence in learning unfamiliar concepts and difficult subject areas through facilitating understanding and application in...

...the opportunity to interact with many types of students age-wise, caliber wise and maturity-wise. It was a wonderful and versatile experience with one common outcome that was the love for the subject of microbiology that my students developed at the end of the course. I connected with all of them through the bond of 'microbiology', a subject that I deeply love. I completed my Ph.D. in the same subject in 2017 and got the opportunity...

During my time at the Tutoring Center, I found that I really enjoyed helping students understand their studies. I have always had a passion for helping others. In my time with the tutoring center, I earned the "Distinguished Service Award" three times. I really enjoyed learning how to best...

I graduated magna cum laude from Columbia University. I earned a B.A. in Biology and Economics. I'm currently working as a Research Associate during my gap year before medical school. During my free time, I enjoy staying active, playing golf, swimming, running, and playing tennis. I love exploring new activities and neighborhoods in the NYC area.

...reading. From my years of tutoring, I have learned that the most success comes from developing a healthy and friendly relationship with my student that encourages pushing him/her to achieve what they previously thought they couldn't, while still staying within the student's comfort zone. Learning shouldn't ever become too frustrating! Aside from tutoring, I have been a referee at the YMCA. I enjoy playing and watching basketball and soccer. My other hobbies include table tennis,...

...enjoyed the experience so much that I continued working with the students on their reading, math, and science skills for four years, following them up through the 6th grade. During college I also began working for the Duke Peer Tutoring program to tutor fellow students. I was a biology major and taking premed classes, so I tutored subjects such as organic chemistry, physics, general chemistry, and Spanish. I also volunteered with a student group that...
