About me:
I'm a patient and attentive tutor, ready to assist learners in pursuit of their educational goals. With over eight years of classroom teaching experience, I am eager to help students excel, particularly in high school or college biology. Want help digging into a primary paper or preparing a lab report? I would love to help! I have tutored, TA'd, or taught every age, from elementary schoolers to medical residents and fellows. I am currently accepting students on weekends or weekday evenings. I am happy to work with individuals or small groups (2-5 students).

Education and experience:
I hold a Master's in Genetics and Genomics from Duke University. My undergraduate degrees are in Molecular and Cellular Biology with a Chemistry minor (B.S.) and English Writing (B.A.). In college and graduate school, I tutored students in college writing; elementary reading, writing, math, and science; SAT and GRE prep; anatomy; and a variety of genetics courses. I have been a classroom teacher since 2015, in both traditional and advanced settings, including a couple of semesters online. Courses taught include general high school biology, AP Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Molecular Genetics, and 8th grade science.

Approved Subjects

Biology

Biology

I have a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a Master's in Genetics & Genomics, and have published research papers in genetics and cell biology. I have taught high school and college-level biology for over five years.
Genetics

Genetics

I have a Master's in Genetics & Genomics. My research career focused on chromosome biology with aspects of epigenetics (specifically, human centromere determination). After graduate school I went into full-time classroom teaching for five years. I have taught semester or intensive courses in molecular genetics and epigenetics; TA'd a human medical genetics course for M.D.s; and tutored college students in classical, molecular, and evolutionary/population genetics.
Microbiology

Microbiology

I have an MS in Genetics and Genomics, an undergraduate degree in molecular and cellular biology, and over five years of full-time teaching experience in both general and molecular biology.
Writing

Writing

I have a college degree in English Writing (GPA: 3.97). During college, I was employed as a tutor in the college writing center; this involved reading students' papers and giving individual feedback to help them clarify their thesis, structure their arguments, provide appropriate evidence for claims, and edit their writing for clarity and readability. I have experience writing fiction, creative non-fiction, and technical (scientific) publications.

Knowledgeable and Helpful

Megan is very knowledgeable about biology. She broke things down in a sequence that was never explained to me before. This helped with organizing the information and make better sense of it. She also gave me tips on studying and test preparation. It’s great to know I can contact her again in the future as my class progresses.
