About Cybil


Bio

I have 4,258 hours* of student contact hours teaching Biological Sciences. I did the math and I can help you do the math because I specialize in teaching biologist statistics. I have a BS in Wildlife and Fisheries ecology, M.S. in Zoology, a Ph.D. in Zoology and a Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, and Behavior.

I have 4,258 hours* of student contact hours teaching Biological Sciences. I did the math and I can help you do the math because I specialize in teaching biologist statistics. I have a BS in Wildlife and Fisheries ecology, M.S. in Zoology, a Ph.D. in Zoology and a Ph.D. in Ecology, Evolutionary Biology, and Behavior. My research projects have had a large quantitative component. These quantitative methods were not easy to learn, and I needed one-on-one statistical mentoring to achieve my goals.

I want to help you achieve your goals. The advantage of tutoring over teaching is that I get to know the student personally, figure out what their needs are, and then meet them. I don’t have to try to guess what will work for hundreds of people. Take one student focus on them and help them meet their goals. I’m good at this I’ve mentored 95 undergraduate research assistants. Several have Masters degrees and many work for state and federal agencies. I primarily focus on Statistics for Biologist using R, Introductory to Organismal Biology, Ecology, Evolution, and upper-level biology courses including Mammalogy, Herpetology, Ornithology, and Marine Biology. I'm also happy to prepare lessons on any subject that you might find particularly challenging or just want to know more about. I also offer natural history lessons for elementary students. These are very similar to outreach programs I have done for museums. *At the time of writing this ** Yay

Very knowledgeable, helpful and well prepared tutor

Today Cybil has worked with my son to support his interest in zoology. She is very knowledgeable in her field and still she was able to get the attention of an elementary school level student which is not an easy task. My son enjoyed their session and looking forward to the next one.

Very knowledgeable tutor

Cybil was helping me with writing a statement of purpose for a graduate school application. She gave me great suggestions and constructive criticism to make my statement stronger. She also showed some helpful resources I could use and gave tips on how to create a good CV.

Very detailed, pateint and helpful tutor

Cybil has made a significant difference in my ability to understand the marital taught in biology. As someone with learning differences, Cybil has worked to find ways to present the information to me in a manner that I can not only understand but be able to do well on my assignments and tests. Working with Cybil has been extremely helpful and such a great use of time.

Extremely Knowledgeable & Helpful

Cybil was a great tutor and made it more engaging than just providing a solution and actually understand the given problem set. I was studying for my exam and if it wasn't for Cybil I would not be as confident taking this exam. I felt more ready and wish more tutors had a layout like Cybil.

Cybil is awesome!

Cybil knows what she is talking about and provides information that not only helps me with my school work, but helps me truly understand what is going on in my class. She is patient when I do not know answers and walks me thorough my work to make sure I fully understand everything. She is great!
