As a dedicated educator, I have over 15 years of experience tutoring Natural Sciences both in person and online, specifically Environmental Science, Botany, Ecology, and Biology. I earned a Ph.D. in Ecosystem Science from Colorado State University and a Master of Arts degree in Biology from the University of Colorado. Recently I completed 120 hours of coursework to obtain TEFL certification and look forward as well to tutoring English as a foreign language, including grammar, writing, and conversation. Online lessons preferred.

My teaching philosophy emphasizes creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where high school and college students feel motivated to explore and understand complex concepts. By tailoring my approach to each student's learning style, I strive to foster critical thinking and a genuine passion for the sciences and languages. I find immense joy in guiding students on their educational journeys and helping them to achieve their academic goals.

Outside of tutoring, I am an avid hiker, traveler, and nature photographer, which continually inspires my teaching and deepens my commitment to sharing the wonders of our environment with my students.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

Both my Bachelors and Masters degrees were specialized in Biology, and I earned a Ph.D. in Ecosystem Science. I am an experienced Biology teacher and tutor with the proven ability to simplify complex science topics in order to improve student performance. This strong background in general and advanced biology concepts will be individualized for tutoring high school and college students.
Botany

Botany

Botany and plant science include several subtopics, such as plant anatomy and physiology, taxonomy and classification, plant ecology, and conservation / restoration. I have over 15 years teaching and tutoring these and related topics, in person and online. Both my undergraduate and graduate level (M.A. and Ph. D) degree programs and research focused on plant science. As such, I am dedicated to help students improve their understanding and performance in various botanical topics.
Earth Science

Earth Science

Earth Science courses include topics from Geology, Atmospheric Science, Oceanography, and Astronomy. Earth Science classes also investigate human impacts on a global scale that are studied in Environmental Science, such as climate change, pollution, and natural resource use. To more fully prepare for an earned Ph.D. in Environmental Science, I completed college courses such as Meteorology and Geology. In addition to teaching Environmental Science for over 15 years, I developed and taught undergraduate courses in both Earth Science and Oceanography for 3 years. I look forward to helping high school and college students learn more about our dynamic Earth.
Ecology

Ecology

I have over 15+ years teaching / tutoring Environmental Science and Ecology both in person and online after earning a PhD in Ecosystem Science that included a program in Interdisciplinary Studies in Ecology. I am dedicated to help students grasp complex ecological principles and increase their understanding of current environmental issues. My approach to tutoring is student-focused and individualized to meet student goals for success.
Environmental Science

Environmental Science

My Ph.D. research at Colorado State University focused on short-grass prairie restoration techniques and plant / animal interactions. I have mentored graduate student environmental science projects and taught environmental science for over 15 years, the majority of which were online. I have also volunteered with environmental groups since graduation to help conduct local ecosystem assessments and promote conservation.
ESL/ESOL

ESL/ESOL

I have over 15+ years teaching and tutoring college students both in person and online. Recently I completed 120 hours of coursework to earn TEFL certification and look forward to interacting with English language students from diverse backgrounds. I am a fluent native English speaker, born and educated in the United States. Currently, I practice conversational Spanish at the upper-intermediate level and understand the challenges faced when learning, and especially speaking, a new language. Let us work together to practice and improve your English language skills.
