Hello there. Excessive jargon, challenging concepts, and steep learning curves are just a few of the reasons why pursuing a path of science is an arduous journey. However, it's not a journey you need take alone. I did my undergraduate work in psychology and neurobiology, and a masters degree in integrated biology, with an emphasis on neurobiology, all at University of Iowa. I have a research position now at the University but I really miss teaching. I taught both introductory and advance...

He was helpful in making me understand my biology material for my exam. This gave me more confidence that I understand my exam topics more.

Robert was helping me with my statement of purpose for graduate school and with my CV. Initially I felt a little lost in the process and didn?t know where to begin. When I had my first session with Robert, he did such a great job at explaining what graduate program committees are looking for and shared helpful tips on how to make my statement stronger and how to organize/structure my CV in a professional way. He is extremely knowledgeable, but at the same time he explains things in a manner that makes sense, and I really like his teaching style. Aside from being a great teacher, Robert is very friendly and patient, as he answered every question I had in great detail. I am very happy with the outcome of our sessions, and I am extremely grateful for all the help I received. It definitely helped with all the anxiety associated with the application process for graduate school.

Robert does a great job tutoring, and I appreciate his depth of knowledge. He really helped my daughter understand some honors biology concepts.
- Jay M. from Glen Ellyn, IL
Robert is an excellent tutor. He helped me through my college level Cell Biology course and was a large part of my academic success in the class. He was flexible in working around my schedule and is happy to adjust the depth level of his explanations according to what topics needed more or less focus. He is clearly passionate about biology and frequently used his laboratory experience to make connections from what I was learning in class to the real world. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone wanting to better understand content that they are finding overwhelming.

Every session has been very helpful and I have a much better understanding of these difficult topics. Dr. Robert is really funny and knows how to take abstract topics and simplify them to make sense.

He truly helped mu daughter to grasp the larger concepts. He put it into bite-size pieces for her and he gave cogent, relatable examples for bio that a teen could understand. She was smiling after studying bio for the first time all semester and that was worth it!
- Nadia J. from New York, NY
Robert helped me with a Bio course. I've had 2 other tutors a few years ago and he is by far the best one. He is funny too and will make a joke while teaching you. Robert was professional and seemed to know the material in greater depth than my teacher. No issues whatsoever and I highly recommend him!
- Libby R. from Brevard, NC
Robert is an excellent and dedicated teacher. My son who is a freshman is taking classes from him for biology. He always make sure that my son gets a deeper understanding of his lessons. We are glad to find an excellent teacher.

We used online tutor for first time and the set up to connect with tutor was a challenge but Robert had wait patiently. He is nice and he helped my daughter with her AP biology.
- Sara K. from Springfield, VA
Robert was amazing at answering questions on the fly. He verbalized his thought processes that way you could see if you were on the right path or not. This type of teaching is crucial because I?m able to figure it which direction to go in or not, this reduces study time and more importantly reduces my stress levels.
- Alexis S. from Jersey City, NJ
Robert was a wonderful tutor! My son feels 100% more confident going into his Physio test this Friday. I'll be connecting with Robert again for future tutoring.

I needed help on my genetics homework and made a last-minute request to see if Robert could help me. He was quick to respond and a schedule a lesson. Robert is extremely knowledgeable and patient! He does a great job explaining information and making it easier to comprehend!
- Jalisha N. from San Diego, CA
Very good. I wanted to learn more, but I ran out of time. I must say he reoriented me! I look forward to more sessions. He help to break down content step by step.
- Chan L. from San Diego, CA
He was able to apply a lot of general, mundane concepts that I had been learning for years and applied them to real-world applications. Specifically in my field of biochemical pharmacology, too
