Hello, I am Katherine. I have a BA in Biology, an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction in Science Education, and am currently studying for my PhD in Science Education. I have 22 years' experience teaching high school biology, physical science, environmental science, AP Environmental Science, zoology, marine science, and human anatomy and physiology. I have taught all levels- co-teach, regular, honors and Advanced Placement. I have an extensive background in education, with an emphasis on effective ways of teaching science. I currently teach pre-service and in-service science education majors at a university on how to teach science to students, from pre-K through 12.

I enjoy teaching science and use various ways of helping students learn, such as interactive teaching strategies which incorporate cooperative learning. I welcome any teaching resources from students and parents on how I can better serve you. Please also let me know about your learning preferences so I can tailor the help I provide to you to better suit your needs. I am looking forward to helping you succeed!

Approved Subjects

Genetics

Genetics

I have a BA in Biology, which I studied genetics. I also taught high school biology with units in molecular and Mendelian genetics and as they relate to evolution of organisms. I also taught cell division, mitosis and meiosis. Students learned about inheritance of DNA and issues with mutations and gene expression, and epigenetics. Evolution of species was also taught, comparing DNA sequences.
Zoology

Zoology

I studied comparative vertebrate anatomy for my BA in Biology. Anatomy was one area of concentration for my degree. I taught Zoology regular and honors for 8 years, and I was one of the curriculum writers for this course, helping to write 1/3rd of the curriculum, including the final exam.
