Hello, my name is Dr. Veronica O. I hold a doctoral degree in biological sciences from Auburn University, Alabama. I am a gifted/STEM teacher, with over 24 years of teaching experience at the K-12 and post-secondary levels. I am fully certified to teach regular biology , AP Biology, AP Environmental Science. In addition, I am very efficient in teaching all Middle-School Sciences (Earth, Life, and Physical), college biology, human genetics, physiology, botany, zoology, cell biology, applied Nutrition, and Microbiology.

I am a very patient and effective tutor, who believes that every child is capable of learning if adequately educated and understood. Though I set very high expectations for my students, my personaiity and knowledge of the subjects allow me to engage/meet the student where they are, thus enhancing the learning process. My methodologies of instructions utilize the 5-Es (NGSS Standards) and Inquiry-Based Learning, where students learn to think critically to understand concepts. I believe that each student has a unique mode of learning, so I use the method most suited to the individual student (visuall, auditory, kinesthetic), while utilizing various tools (technology, books, stroylines, hands-on). I also provide opportunities to address questions from my students outside set tutoring hours- since learning is not a static process.

As a STEM teacher, I am very familar with the GSE Science Standards, and will be able to help/guide the student to become more proficient in science. Therefore, if a student is struggling with Middle School Science, High school/College biology; I am here to help. My vision is to teach and encourage students to understand basic concepts, build a strong science foundation, so that learning science becomes a fun encounter, rather than a struggle.
Finally, if a student is struggling with Advanced Placement Biology or desires to score a 4 or 5 in the Collegeboard AP Biology test, I am here to help. I have great passion for education, therefore, I am able to w

Eye opening tutor

Dr. O was excellent! The look on my daughter's face after only one meeting with her was sheer relief. My daughter said that Dr. O explained the material so thorough; so much better than her current AP Bio teacher. I am so happy that we have found her. We are both going through our schedules to see the best date to schedule our next session. One thing I do know is that we need her expertise!

Highly experienced

Veronica is very professional, knowledgeable and she has made a measurable difference in helping my child to grasp AP biology concepts in a short period. She is the kind of tutor that will go the extra mile, for she genuinely cares. Thank you so much Veronica, and it is great to see the spark for learning science return into my daughter's eyes!

Excellent Biology Tutor

Veronica is a true professional who is passionate about biology and has a gift for explaining difficult concepts. She is an excellent tutor. She worked with my daughter for an hour and a half on difficult concepts such as dependent variables, independent variables and research graphs. She made these topics crystal clear for her by teaching her mnemonics and engaging her in the learning process. My daughter is taking Freshman high school Biology and preparing to take AP Biology during high school. My daughter really enjoyed the time she spent with Veronica and I highly recommend her.
