Hello. I am a Masters student at SFSU with a degree in ecology and evolution, I have more than 8 years experience working at Zoos and Natural History museums and am currently working as a curator. I grew up going through special education pathways in primary school and have learned and mastered many different styles of learning and studying that I am now attempting to teach to others.

I am planning on pursuing a career in museum education so I use tutoring students as a way to explore how other learn and how I can best implement these learning styles into museum education to help students of all ages and backgrounds explore interesting concepts.

I have years of experience working in Zoos and Science museums. I am Working towards a degree in museum studies. I have biology field experience too, studying California Condors in Big Sur. I have worked with over a hundred different animals and have worked in natural history museums Herbarium/botany collections and as a collections manager of Bird and mammal collections.

I was diagnosed with dyslexia dysgraphia when I was in elementary school and have personal experience with the difficulties surrounding dyslexia and dysgraphia and the unique ways of approaching complex topics.

If you need help with ecology, zoology, evolution, marine biology, conservation, or natural history I would be happy to help you better understand and hopefully fall in love with these subjects as I have over the years.

Great Motivator!

I hired Julian to tutor my son on multiple subjects. Julian made my son comfortable with talking about his obstacles in learning and how to ask for help. In addition to spending 2 hours each session in going through homework assignments and delving deep into subjects to help him get assignments turned in.
