Series Details

About

We will discuss major topics in Biology each week, from biochemistry to anatomy! NOTE: The amount of sessions after the orientation, along with the topics discussed in these sessions, is tentative. Please check the series description periodically to stay up to date.

Tutor Qualifications

I have took biology honors as a freshman this past school year, and I thrived in that class, getting a final grade of an A. On the side, I tutored my classmates in biology concepts they struggled in.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

You are free to attend/skip whichever sessions you want. If you need to be absent during a session you really wanted to attend, meet up with me during office hours to discuss any questions you might have!

DISCLAIMER: Some of the topics covered in sessions require knowledge of topics discussed in previous sessions. If you are going to skip sessions, please ensure that you are familiar with those prerequisite topics.
