Experience Summary
I have earned bachelor's and master's degrees in Marine Science. Through my coursework I have taken many natural and physical science classes. I received a minor in chemistry from Eckerd college. I was an Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry Teaching Assistant during my undergraduate education. My thesis topics for both degrees focused on aquatic microbiology. I have presented at numerous meetings and have designed scientific posters for presentation at national and international conferences.
Teaching Style
I try to take a logical approach to problem solving. Getting the correct answer is only part of the learning process. The path that a student takes to learn one answer will help clarify other problems and make learning a more complete process. The most important step is determining the approach to learning that is best for the student. Each student is different and understanding the student's individual needs is paramount to a succesful tutoring relationship.
