Experienced and Award Winning Science Teacher & STEM Innovator

Jason R.

I'm a certified science educator with 15+ years of experience teaching in districts across Michigan and Arizona. I've been recognized as a Quarterfinalist for Arizona Teacher of the Year and named Teacher of the Year twice in my district. I have a habit of making complex scientific concepts accessible and engaging for middle and high school students.

My teaching philosophy centers on connecting science to real-world applications and student interests. I've developed innovative STEM courses integrating technology, hands-on experiments, and project-based learning—from model rocketry combined with geometry to coding with drones. I've been recognized as a MiSTEM Innovative Teacher and have presented my teaching methods internationally in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Whether you're struggling with basic concepts or pushing toward AP-level mastery, I meet students where they are and build confidence alongside competence.

I work with students on everything from regular coursework support and test preparation (SAT/ACT science reasoning, AP Biology) to building stronger study habits and scientific thinking skills. My approach is patient, personalized, and focused on understanding rather than memorization. I'm comfortable working with students who are behind, on track, or advanced, and I'm experienced in adapting my teaching for different learning styles and needs.
I'm available for online tutoring sessions and can work with flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs. Let's connect to discuss how I can help you or your student succeed in science!
