About Jasper

Bio

I have a Master's in Environmental Science and a Bachelor's in Biology and am willing to give help in most life sciences. I have approximately 1-2 years of professional microbiology work, a degree in biology, finishing up another Master's degree in environmental sciences with a specialty in environmental ecology. I have worked 3 years in nuclear chemistry, 2 years as a naturalist in the state parks, and am currently employed as an environmental analyst.

I have a Master's in Environmental Science and a Bachelor's in Biology and am willing to give help in most life sciences. I have approximately 1-2 years of professional microbiology work, a degree in biology, finishing up another Master's degree in environmental sciences with a specialty in environmental ecology. I have worked 3 years in nuclear chemistry, 2 years as a naturalist in the state parks, and am currently employed as an environmental analyst.

I have worked in my subject matter for over 15+ years.

I have been tutoring and teaching for students of all ages and background for about 10+ years now. I have worked with students who were either afraid of science, didn't care about science, couldn't understand it or a combination of all three. So far, I've had good success in teaching and explaining ideas to the students. I find that in trying to teach someone, you have to inspire a small amount of passion in the subject at hand and more specifically, try and connect to the student. A tutor isn't for generic teaching, it's to get that type of one-on-one connection that can be tailored to the person needing a hand in the subject. This is what I try to bring to the table every time.

I intend to care as much as you do.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

I have a B.S. in biology. I have experience in both microbiology and ecology.
Ecology

Ecology

My background and my master's degree is in ecology. I've always been very passionate about this subject and have always been eager to teach it.
Elementary Math

Elementary Math

I've always done very well in elementary mathematics and have a strong enough base to try and teach these to your children.
Elementary Science

Elementary Science

Science has always been the core of my studies and to deny the basics of what we learn of science when we're younger is a terrible thing. I have had experience teaching adults who are more stubborn and set in their ways when it comes to learning about basic science when compared to children. I guarantee to help and teach your child to do better in the sciences.
English

English

Depending on the subject matter within English, it has always been a joy to learn, understand, and create as well as I could.
GRE

GRE

I scored a 1320 on my math and verbal/vocab with a 5 on my writing portion. I understand how to work with the GRE system to try and gain more points. You would be surprised how many points are missed up just do to test taking methodology.
Microbiology

Microbiology

I've had 1-2 years of professional experience working in a microbiology lab. Part of my past educational focus has been in microbiology and am qualified to work in microbiology. On top of my capacity to teach and educate, I will always try my hardest to successfully train you or whoever you need.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

Public speaking is one of my greatest strength and assets. Not only is it one of my major goals in science, but it is also something that I have been training in for a very long time. I have supplemented my experience with outside activities and curriculum. From 2002 to 2008, I have been training in giving professional presentations on a scholastic level, ranging from various topics of ecology to microbiology. From 2010 to 2012, I began teaching and giving daily presentations in a self run lab class consisting of 20 people at a time. I had to write, review, and improve my presentations on a frequent basis, driving me to becoming a better speaker while retaining a friendly and casual style. This enables me to interact with people without driving them away due to boredom or just sheer proselytizing behavior. From 2012 to current, I have been involved in town committees that require a lot of discussion and debate, requiring me to be able to sway people's opinions to my view. I also have been substituting from pre-K to 12, requiring knowledge of different formats of communication. I have been asked to come back repeatedly to different classes and "tough" classrooms due to my success in drawing in attention and keeping people focused. This is not an easy thing to do for a substitute on a sunny Friday in an inner city. Public speaking is my strongest asset. I am constantly refining and analyzing my ability to do so. I love to pass this knowledge on as I believe better communication leads to better pathways for everyone involved. I can help someone speak more confidently, understand finer points, reducing flaws, and letting a person actually enjoy public speaking. There are no secrets to it, just a better understanding.
Reading

Reading

Ever since my youth I have been passionate about reading. It took me a couple of years in my youth to steer it toward a productive manner. I intend to take what I learned and teach it to whoever may need it.
SAT Math

SAT Math

Prior to the change in the system, I had scored a 720 out of 800 on my math SATs and have a solid understanding of the inherent system.
SAT Reading

SAT Reading

Back in the old SAT system, I had scored 680 on my reading. Even if the system has changed, the basics on the test taking methodology and the basics behind reading comprehension have not changed. I can help you or whoever needs it to raise their points.

Great tutor!

Jasper arrived on time for the lesson. He helped my daughter with an AP Bio assignment. He was able to explain the material in such a way that my daughter was able to understand it and able to successfully complete it. I definitely recommend Jasper!

fantastic tutor

EXCELLENT Tutor! He was able to get my son to focus which is not easy since he has ADHD. My son is looking forward to future tutoring sessions with Jasper. My son felt very accomplished and proud of himself since he understood the concepts.. I'm very thankful for Jasper.

Josie, 1 lesson with Jasper

Amazing

My grandson was wildly unorganized and failing all of his classes. Within one organizational session, Jasper was able to get him organized but encouraged him to take responsibility and pride in his school work. Truly worked some magic. My grandson is now passing three of his classes, and I am sure he will have all of them to a A, B, C level before the end of this quarter. Can't recommend enough. Jasper is smart, savvy, intuitive and cares about his students (not the paycheck). We are blessed that we found him.

Very knowledgeable

Very personable and easy to work with. He got straight to the point and gave me immediate pointers for how much to succeed. Excellent use of the time we had. Expect to have more sessions.

Great teacher!

My daughter is in AP Biology and was having a hard time understanding her teacher. She left the tutor session feeling very confidant of the material. He was able to break it down so she could really understand it. Very Pleased!!
