Ben H.
Private tutor in Pittsburgh, PA
Education
I graduated from Penn State in 2007 with a B.S. in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology and a minor in Microbiology. I'm currently persuing a PhD at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.
Experience
As an undergraduate, I was a recitation TA for molecular biology classes in which I taught scientific writing & led in-class assignments & discussions in sections of ~18 students . Between undergraduate and graduate school, I was a lab instructor in the Biology Department at the University of Pittsburgh. Among ~100 students, I received an average evalation scores of 4.8/5.0. I am currently a TA and tutor for first year PhD students taking Foundations of Biomedical Science in the Interdisciplinary Biomedical Program in the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. My experience allows me to tutor most biology-based classes from the elementary school through graduate school level.

Hobbies
Tutoring has always been a hobby of mine, most likely because I get a great deal of satisfaction explaining complex concepts in simple terms and with analogies. It's very rewarding for me to see the "lightbulb moment" when an idea clicks. Other than academics, I enjoy darts, running, and assorted aerobics. If your having trouble with any of the subjects above, please feel free to touch base with me about your needs. I'm happy to look through the material your studying as a free consultation to see if I can help.
