Experience Summary
With a PhD in biology, I had to master a wide array of fields in math, science, and statistics. All during graduate school, I tutored students with varying capabilities including dyslexia and language problems. I also taught sections of graduate level courses and undergraduate laboratory sections. After graduate school, I was a postdoctoral assistant at an undergraduate college in which I helped students with their senior laboratory research projects and their junior laboratory sections. This involved much one on one interaction with individual students. Subsequently, I spent 3 years teaching laboratory and lecture in biology for non-science majors at a community college.
Teaching Style
Personally, I love tutoring because it is a one on one interaction with students. In that regard, students can be evaluated more efficiently as to how to help them become more proficient in a particular subject. Every student has their own strengths and weaknesses whether real or imaginary. Math is the perfect example of this. Students often decide early they just cannot do it and lose the battle before they even start. I work to provide a comfortable and positive environment that fosters educational success.
