Experience Summary
As a researcher in biochemistry and pharmaceutical sciences, I am well versed in the day to day applications of microbiology, biology, chemistry, and biochemistry. I also have 2+ years experience teaching lectures and labs in introductory chemistry, biology, and anatomy. I have learned how to manipulate lesson plans, grade lab reports, grade short answer exams, and execute lectures effectively. I also created an exploratory class entirely on my own through Cornell University's GRSSOP program. I taught this course to an advanced high school biology class. It was well reviewed. I also received an award for the best teaching assistant in the biology graduate school at University of Washington.
Teaching Style
My style is very application based. I find most students remember material better when they have a story to remember how something works. For instance, explaining how cell biology works and relating lactic acid metabolism to delayed onset muscle soreness. Most students will remember the metabolism pathway better if they tie that relevant information to their daily life (when they go to the gym). I am very clear and articulate, and most student really relate to how logically I compile tidbits of information. Usually this kind of logical organization helps students themselves organize their thinking more effectively.
