Hello! My name is Ian, I'm currently a graduate student at San Diego State. My research focuses on arachnid evolution but the classes I teach are more general biology. I graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's degree in Biodiversity and Conservation. I have several years of experience teaching biology through museum outreach. I also have volunteer tutoring experience with Seeds of Literacy in Ohio where I grew up. I've studied Spanish for several years. No puedo charlar como...
Hello! My name is Ian, I'm currently a graduate student at San Diego State. My research focuses on arachnid evolution but the classes I teach are more general biology. I graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelor's degree in Biodiversity and Conservation. I have several years of experience teaching biology through museum outreach.

No puedo charlar como un nativo pero si tengo la capacidad de comunicar en español.
I know the difference a good teacher can make, and I do my best to help students really understand a topic. I am willing to take time to thoroughly explain, work through practice problems, and review and summarize with each student. I am a firm believer that anyone can succeed in school if they have the right resources and systems and if they have a drive to learn.
I see my role as a tutor as providing those supporting systems but also helping students grow confidence in their own abilities and enjoying the learning process. I have the most experience with science and biology but I am able to help with basic concepts in Spanish, math and reading as well.
