Certified Middle School Science Teacher | 7+ Years Experience | O

Suzanne R.

Hi! My name is Suzanne, and I’m a certified middle school teacher in Alabama with over 7 years of classroom experience and 3 years of teaching science in a fully online environment. I specialize in middle school science (grades 6–8) and love helping students build confidence and understanding in topics that often feel overwhelming at this level.

I hold a state teaching certification for grades 6–8 and have taught a wide range of learners in both in-person classrooms and one-on-one virtual settings. My instruction covers all major middle school science areas, including:
Life science (cells, genetics, ecosystems)
Physical science (atoms, matter, chemical and physical changes)
Earth and space science (weather, climate, the solar system)
Scientific reasoning and lab writing
ACT Aspire science prep and general test-taking strategies

In my tutoring sessions, I focus on breaking down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps using relatable examples and interactive methods. I adapt each session to the student’s learning style and pace, whether they need help with weekly homework, studying for a test, writing lab reports, or catching up on missed material. I’m patient, encouraging, and committed to helping students not just improve their grades but truly understand the “why” behind the science.

As an experienced online educator, I use tools like digital whiteboards, shared slides, guided visuals, and collaborative notes to make learning as interactive and effective as possible. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where students can ask questions, build confidence, and experience those “light bulb” moments.
