My name is Jeremy Swisher and I am a biochemical neuroscience major and exercise and sports science minor. I was a college basketball player who is now a medical student. I will assist you in learning how to master science and to really enjoy the process.
I have been tutoring for 3-4 years and have taught a wide variety of students ranging anywhere from chemistry to physics to biochemistry and would love to help you too. Science is great subject and it takes a lot of dedication but I know you can be successful.
