I have a master's degree with a concentration in exercise physiology -- a subject that relies heavily on biology as it explains how the human body is affected by exercise and other stressors (e.g. the... rmal, cardiovascular, neurological, metabolic, etc.) I continue to develop my knowledge of biology, biochemistry, and related subjects through doctoral study in my field of exercise physiology, with an expectation that I will complete my PhD in 2025. Over the last 11+ years, I have tutored many people individually and in groups on undergraduate-level biology and related subjects. I have worked in person and remotely, with people who specialize in biology as well as those who have little or no familiarity with the subject.read more

Hi, I'm Geoff! I'm originally from south Louisiana (meaning I'm a Cajun, though my accent makes some people doubt that). I grew up there and did my first college degree before moving away for grad s... chool -- first at Auburn University in Alabama, then at the University of Texas at Austin, and now at Springfield College in Massachusetts. I'm currently working on a PhD in Exercise Physiology, and I expect to finish the degree sometime in 2025. I'm an exercise physiologist, but I have interests in a wide range of topics. In fact, my first major in college was physics, and I still study it. I also studied political science before ending up in the exercise science area, meaning I've added some liberal arts flair to my "harder" science studies. I love being well rounded, and I recommend that others resist putting themselves in a box! I have hobbies outside of school and work, too. I'm a lifelong video game and movie nut, and I have a head full of trivia to back it up. I also started martial arts in Louisiana, starting with taekwondo in early 2006. I currently have a 3rd degree black belt in that, and I'm also a brown belt in judo and have trained on and off in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and hapkido, so I've got a fun range of experiences! I love teaching and tutoring. Helping people to overcome learning challenges is one of the best feelings in the world, and I am always available to help friends and colleagues out when they have questions. Learning is one of life's greatest joys to me, so I always want to share the gift of "figuring it out" to others. No matter what job I'm doing, it's a safe bet that I spend some of it helping people to learn. I always encourage curiosity, and I believe we can take our work seriously without taking *ourselves* too seriously. Jokes, fun, and little "side quests" can often be just what we need to get past the next challenge, and I'm happy to be a part of that journey for you.read more
