Hi, I'm Kaz! I'm an upper level undergraduate student studying biology, chemistry, and environmental science. I am also a scientist studying salamanders, microbes, and the ocean. In my free time I love to be outside or playing games with friends!
I have professional experience teaching college and high school students as a supplemental instructor. I take a student first approach to learning. Teaching the student how to think about a subject in a way that is enjoyable to them is always my first priority- grades will follow. My goal will always be to help the student enjoy learning.
My sessions will be unique to each student, but will generally follow your syllabus (I am happy to deviate if requested!). Students will not be lectured at, but instead engage in active learning such as teaching back, drawing pathways, and completing activities. I also offer group tutoring- up to several students from the same class allows me to facilitate students teaching each other. Studies have shown that students taught this way (active learning, teaching others) learn significantly more!

If you have any questions regarding active learning or my personal philosophy, then feel free to reach out!

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

I have studied various aspects of biology over the past four years in professional settings. I have also been a supplemental instructor for college biology classes for the last year. I absolutely love teaching this subject, and have extensive experience coming up with different ways to explain concepts.
Ecology

Ecology

I have studied various aspects of ecology over the past four years in professional settings, especially in the last 4 months. I have also been a supplemental instructor for college ecology classes for the last year. I absolutely love teaching this subject, and have extensive experience coming up with different ways to explain concepts!
Environmental Science

Environmental Science

I am qualified to teach anything from geology to oceanography. Over the past year I specifically studied those topics with an emphasis on how the biological component can influence abiotic processes. I am a better fit for students learning these systems holistically rather than diving deep into one specific topic (with the exception of ocean-related topics- those I am most qualified for).
Essay Writing

Essay Writing

The part of my job as a scientist that takes up the most time is writing. Proposals, project updates, applications, assignments, etc. As such, my specialty here is writing with clarity and brevity. I am not a good tutor for your creative writing class- I am much better suited for a science class, an English class, or something along those lines. The more technical you want to get, the better I am for it!
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

One big part of being a scientist is presentations. I have worked extensively on how to be confident, speak clearly, and create visual aids that effectively communicate your goals. I suffer from quite significant social anxiety. I love helping others overcome similar barriers, and truly believe that anyone can become an excellent speaker.
