A Little Bit About Me...

My educational and employment background are saturated in the area of marine and conservation biology. I am trained in micro, chemical and cellular biology. I've was a univ. lab tech. and helped students understand proper lab procedure and successfully complete of lab exercises. I have taught field methodology and stats analysis to UW students. I’ve trained volunteers of all ages and backgrounds in biological studies and proper equipment etiquette. My career has focused on the behavioral ecology of cetacean species; killer whale, humpback, and bottlenose. I've also studied conservation bio of Pac NW salmon. I am a native Spanish speaker and spent time in France and New Zealand learning French and Chinese.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge and passion of marine mammals with others. I enjoy making science and learning interesting for the individual. I try to understand how an individual ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

The key to teaching any age of student is the ability of the teacher or tutor to recognize the students level of need and their adherence to a study regiment. Some students learn best in a conventional step-by-step process, while others learn better with real world applications or a "reason" for a particular concept. I am excellent at recognizing what type of curriculum a student would excel under. The only true difficulties a student can have in any subject is when they believe they are unable to learn the material. Prove to them they can succeed in even the smallest way and you can give them the confidence and interest to succeed through hard work. This is what I can do for your student.
The majority of my experience was obtained directly from my courses of study during my collegiate career. While taking all of my Physics courses math was a very important skill to have and be abl ... read more

I try to target problem areas that students are having. I encourage them to ask questions and stop me when I am explaining something in order for them to understand it better. It really puts a smile on my face when I can see their frustration melt away. There is no set style that I teach it just depends on where the students strengths and weaknesses lie. Mathematics and the sciences don't have to be near as difficult as they are made out to be, it's all about the problem solving process.
I worked at the Tutoring Club in Folsom, CA for 1 year. I tutored a variety of age groups, mostly high school age, in mathematics up through calculus, chemistry, biology and physics. I also worked at the learning center through Humboldt State University for about a year. Other than that, I have had multiple students for private tutoring sessions since 2005. So I have about 4 years experience in tut ... read more
