Ph.D. Health Researcher & Program Director, 10+ years teaching

Tim C.

I am a dedicated educator with over ten years of comprehensive teaching experience across undergraduate and graduate levels, having instructed more than 180 courses throughout my career. Currently I serve as a Program Director and Lecturer at Northern Arizona University while pursuing my Ph.D. in Interdisciplinary Health, I bring both academic expertise and practical application to my tutoring approach. My educational foundation includes a Master of Science in Clinical Exercise Physiology from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and a Bachelor of Arts in Exercise and Sports Science with a Biology minor from Western State College of Colorado.

My teaching methodology emphasizes personalized learning through flipped classroom techniques and innovative technology integration. I have successfully taught students across all age groups and learning modalities, from traditional in-person settings to hybrid and fully online environments. My experience spans from foundational health and wellness concepts to advanced graduate-level physiology and research methods. My vast experience has shown me how to break down complex scientific concepts into accessible, engaging lessons tailored to individual learning styles.

What sets me apart as a tutor is my ability to connect theoretical knowledge with real-world applications, drawing from my clinical experience working at prestigious institutions, including the Mayo Clinic, as well as professional sport teams. I am certified as a Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist (ACSM) and have held advanced coaching certifications. My technical skills extend to programming languages like Python and R, allowing me to assist students with data analysis and computational aspects of their studies. Whether you need help with basic biology concepts, advanced exercise physiology, research methodology, or health-related coursework, I provide patient, encouraging guidance that builds both understanding and confidence.
