SCIENCE IS NOT JUST FOR SCIENTISTS!

I have always said that no matter where my career choices take me, I will always find time to be an educator. While those choices are leading me towards a career in medicine, my love of teaching won't be pushed aside and I want you to be able to share some of that passion I have for learning.

I found a love for the life sciences and chemistry, and have an equal passion for helping others understand and appreciate the fascinating nature of our universe....

SCIENCE IS NOT JUST FOR SCIENTISTS!

I have always said that no matter where my career choices take me, I will always find time to be an educator. While those choices are leading me towards a career in medicine, my love of teaching won't be pushed aside and I want you to be able to share some of that passion I have for learning.

I found a love for the life sciences and chemistry, and have an equal passion for helping others understand and appreciate the fascinating nature of our universe.

I firmly believe that the greatest impediment in learning science in the modern education system is the way it is taught. Science isn't found in books, it is living and breathing all around us. Science is not a collection of facts to be memorized and forgotten, but a lens by which to view the world and a way of thinking. It can be applied to every aspect of life regardless of your ambitions or life goals.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN

After 2-3 sessions, each of my students will receive a personalized study plan to help you succeed in areas that you are having difficulty, or just want to find a way to improve. I believe that active teaching is as important as active learning, and because everyone learns differently I tailor my approach to you SPECIFICALLY. I have experience teaching complex concepts and ideas in science to non-science oriented students in a way that is relevant and applicable. Together we will find the best way for you to succeed.

WHY LEARNING SOMETIMES FALLS FLAT

In our modern system of education, we are often distracted by the need to adhere to standardized test preparation in order for schools to receive funding and maintain their credentials. This approach fails the student by substituting true learning and understanding with the memorization of facts set to a rather narrow standard. Its no wonder that many students today are having difficulty applying concepts they have learned to real life, situations, and subjects.

I want to help you learn by teaching you to understand the fundamental concepts behind what

Approved Subjects

Algebra 1

Algebra 1

A strong mathematical foundation is essential in the study of any scientific discipline. Part of my success as a biologist is attributed to being able to conduct experiments and analyze data using common algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. I also have experience using statistical methods to analyze experimental data.
Biochemistry

Biochemistry

I am a pre-med Biological Science graduate (3.94 GPA) with a heavy focus on chemistry (24 credit hours of chemistry coursework). I am particularly adept at organic chemistry and cellular physiology which helped me earn an 'A' in Human Biochemistry; an extremely challenging course offered to pre-med students.
Biology

Biology

I am a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Biology (B.A. 3.94 GPA) with 2.5 years of genetics research experience. I have 2 years of experience teaching Biology Lab for Non-Majors and 1 year experience teaching Honors Biology Lab for Science Majors at FSU.
Chemistry

Chemistry

Although I have over two years of experience teaching biology labs at the university level, the curriculum that I wrote for my students was heavily integrated with chemistry. As a pre-med Summa Cum Laude graduate of Biology, my degree program was structured with 24 credit hours of chemistry including General Chemistry I & II with corresponding labs, Organic Chemistry I & II, Organic Chemistry Lab, and Human Biochemistry. My chemistry knowledge and experience also carries over in the 2.5 years of molecular genetics research that I have been involved in.
Organic Chemistry

Organic Chemistry

Over the last 3 years, I have trained many of my fellow students and lab assistants in Organic Chemistry I and II as well as Organic Chemistry lab techniques. I have been successful in helping students with this complex subject because I believe that the best way to learn organic chemistry is through understanding, application, and integration rather than relying on memorization. If done right, you can apply even your most basic organic chemistry knowledge to the most advanced predictions. I can show you how to master this subject, and maybe even start to like it along the way! I have earned a solid grade of 'A' in ALL Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry coursework taken. (Organic Chemistry I, Organic Chemistry II, Organic Chemistry Lab)
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

Whether in person, on camera, or via any variety of new media channels, I can help you overcome your fear of speaking in public and get you on your way to developing the confidence and skills you need to be an influential speaker. As a university lecturer and former marketing executive, I have years of experience in crafting influential messaging and delivering them to audiences large and small.
