Scientist with a Ph.D. in geology and 8 years of teaching experience

Suzanne M.

I am a research scientist with a Bachelor of Science in Geology and a Ph.D. in Geoscience. I did research at national laboratories and universities.

I primarily teach earth science, geology, geography, and environmental science courses at the college level. I have been an instructor for over eight years. Classes I teach include Introduction to Geology, Mineralogy, Structural Geology, Field Geologic Mapping, and Physical Geography of Earth's Environment courses. I have experience teaching younger students through volunteer efforts. I am also available to tutor other science subjects for K-12 students, Science Olympiad, standardized testing, and more.

Since every student is unique, it is crucial to have a diverse set of teaching practices for any topic. To appeal to students with different learning habits, I develop lessons to address topics using a variety of different techniques, encourage participation, and provide a teaching environment where students feel welcome to ask questions. I will find the tools that work best for you (or your child). Please reach out if you want to learn science from a scientist.
