PhD Ecologist and Statistician with 5+ Years Teaching Experience

Brian F.

Hi, I'm Brian! I am a biologist with 10 years experience conducting research on the ecology and management of animals and ecosystems. I believe that sustainability is the greatest challenge of today's world; a challenge that threatens the existence of human populations around the world. To this end, I am passionate about teaching so we can educate the future generation of critical thinkers who will appreciate the natural world that we live in and be mindful about conserving it.

I am a highly qualified science and math tutor because I have degrees in Biological Sciences (BS, Ohio University, with Honors) and Ecology (PhD, Auburn University; perfect score on GRE Math) and post-doctoral training also (University of Florida). I have taught collegiate courses in Statistics, Population Ecology, Intro Biology, Herpetology, Tropical Ecology, Conservation Biology, and Research Methods. I have 25+ scientific publications in these fields. I am an expert at Program R (data analysis). Currently, I am an assistant professor at state university.

My experience includes working with college students in classrooms, laboratories, and tutoring settings. My goal as a tutor is to lead students through a shared journey of discovery, where we understand fundamental concepts, gain skills in communicating topics, and develop an appreciation for these topics. However, each student is unique, and I adapt my approach to best foster learning. Because progress is often measured by tests, I will prepare you for quizzes, tests, and exams - and you will excel at them! I coached youth soccer for years and I am happy to work with high school students also. I am easy going and have strong communication skills, so you will be happy you chose me as your tutor!
