Bryce

Bryce majored in Bioengineering: Bioinformatics at UCSD during his undergrad, applying computer science and math models as a medical researcher for autism, pulmonary embolism, cancer, and future RNA therapies. He is currently at graduate student at UCSD, also in Bioengineering. Bryce is passionate about promoting learning for motivated STEM students and providing guidance along their journey towards a happy, fulfilling career and life. Bryce`s teaching style is focused on active practice and recall that engages students as this has been scientifically shown to be the best method for students to learn.

I am looking to teach and mentor high school and college age students in the North County San Diego area part time to fulfill my enjoyment of teaching and learning. As a Bioengineering grad student, I am particularly passionate about teaching students how to apply math and science to solve real-world problems.
