About Zachary

Hello!

My name is Zachary Melahoures, and I am a first-year medical student with an extensive tutoring background that began when I was in eighth grade.

In 2025, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry, Cell, and Molecular Biology (BCMB) with a minor in Biology and a concentration in Biophysics. Since then, I have completed my first year of medical school and am currently studying to become a Certified Brain Injury Specialist.

As someone with both ASD and ADHD, I understand that students learn in different ways and that concepts are not always explained in a manner that resonates with everyone. Because of this, I strive to meet students where they are and adapt my teaching approach to their individual needs. One of the most rewarding examples of this was tutoring a visually impaired student in organic chemistry, where I developed alternative methods to help communicate highly visual concepts.

Beyond tutoring, I enjoy mentoring students and helping them navigate their academic journeys. Whether you need study strategies, guidance on coursework, or overall life advice, feel free to reach out!

About the lesson

I begin with the specific questions, concepts, and goals provided by each student so that I can tailor the lesson plan and make the most effective use of our time together. I also discuss the student’s academic background, current study habits, and areas of difficulty.

Using this information, I can help create a detailed study schedule that encourages greater independence and gradually reduces the need for ongoing tutoring.

Depending on the student’s needs, I may provide videos to review independently, either created by me or selected from reputable third-party resources. During our sessions, I use targeted practice problems to actively engage the student and guide them through concepts or questions they find challenging.

I am best equipped to assist high school and undergraduate students. I can also work with fellow medical students, although my medical-school tutoring would currently be limited to first-year coursework.
