Series Details

About

This series will be an introductory course to biochemistry! This topic is especially important because it will allow you to have a foundational understanding of the molecular basis of life! This series will align with the Khan Academy MCAT Biochemistry course which I think provides the best biochemistry content for new learners! This series will primarily be lecture-based with some practice problems in each session! I hope to prepare future healthcare professionals and researchers with this series!

Prerequisites: High School level Biology (required) and High School level Chemistry (encouraged)

Tutor Qualifications

I took a Biochemistry class at University of California, Berkeley to receive my degree in Molecular and Cell Biology, Immunology!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Some sessions will build on previous sessions in this series so it is in your best interest to attend all of the sessions in the series!
