Description

Target audience:

• Undergraduate students enrolled in Biochemistry I or II

• Pre-med, biology, chemistry, or health sciences majors

• Students preparing for standardized exams (MCAT, GRE subject tests, etc.)

Join the online sessions over Zoom from anywhere.

 

Coverage: 

Mastering biochemistry requires more than memorizing pathways — it’s about understanding how molecules, enzymes, and processes come together to power life. Our one-on-one tutoring sessions are designed to support college students at every level, from introductory biochemistry to advanced coursework.

Whether you’re preparing for exams, struggling with complex concepts or aiming to strengthen your foundation for future medical or graduate studies, our sessions provide:

• Clear explanations of challenging topics

• Step-by-step problem-solving strategies

• Study tips tailored to your learning style

• Guidance with assignments, lab reports, and exam preparation

Topics covered:

Students will learn the following concepts based on their college course syllabus in Biochemistry I or II

• Water, the Solvent of Life
• Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins
• The Three-Dimensional Structure of Proteins
• Protein Function
• Enzymes
• Carbohydrates and Glycobiology
• Nucleotides and Nucleic Acids
• DNA-Based Information Technologies
• Lipids
• Biological Membranes and Transport
• Biochemical Signaling
• Introduction to Metabolism
• Glycolysis, Gluconeogenesis, and the Pentose Phosphate Pathway
• The Metabolism of Glycogen in Animals
• The Citric Acid Cycle
• Fatty Acid Catabolism
• Amino Acid Oxidation and the Production of Urea
