Hi, my name is Jeff VanderWood and I'm the SSC Tutor for Anatomy and Physiology I & II. I'm a junior exercise science major and am hoping to get into medical school in the near future. I took these courses within the last year and did well in both. In turn, I hope that I may aid others in their arduous quest of gaining practical knowledge about the human body. In my sessions, I will do my best to answer questions and clear up difficult topics, but also to give you all the confidence to excel on your own.

My sessions will be in the Thomas Cooper library, and the schedule is as follows:

You can sign up for sessions via http://tutortrac.ssc.sa.sc.edu. Otherwise, if you have questions, you can email me at vanderwj@email.sc.edu.
