Experience Summary
As a Scientist with both Bachelor and Doctorate degrees, I have a broad knowledge of Biology and a good understanding of math, chemistry and physics. I have a passion for writing and have been completing the AMWA core certificate for medical writers. My writing experience includes writing a thesis, research papers and reports. I also have extensive experience of presenting and interpreting data for lay audiences. During my Postdoc, I taught biology to students in 7th and 8th grade as part of the Science and Health Education Partnership at UCSF. I have also tutored children with reading difficulties.
Teaching Style
I love to teach children and help them develop a love of learning which I believe is crucial for their academic success. I am very patient and calm. From my experiences both as a parent and as a Scientist, I can explain complex concepts in a simple, creative way which will enthuse the students. My goal is to enable students to understand underlying concepts rather than learn things by rote, so that they can apply their knowledge to any problem. I would encourage the students to read and do research to augment their knowledge. I believe that good education is the most important determinant of a successful future and that all children should have access to it.
