Michael D.
Private tutor in New York, NY
Education
I am a recent MD/PhD graduate from Weill Cornell Medical College. For my graduate work in neuroscience I studied human behavior and the brain. I incorporate a cognitive understanding of learning and memory into my tutoring style, and work with students to individually maximize their learning potential and test scores. Before my MD/PhD I did a master's in linguistics in Toulouse, France, and am fluent in French. I am proficient in Spanish, Portuguese, German, Hebrew and a minority language called Occitan, as well. I majored in biochemistry and minored in linguistics at Columbia.
Experience
I have tutored neuroscience individually to medical students. I developed a series of French tutoring videos available on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/MyFrenchTutor/feed I enjoy going from theory to practical examples in both sciences and languages.
