Hello! My name is Lena B. I got my undergraduate degree from Thomas More University in Biology. I recently finished my master's degree in biology (with a concentration in ecology) from the University of Toledo. As I completed my degree, I worked as a teaching assistant for the Department of Environmental Sciences for 2.5 years. I taught non-science major students a course called Environmental Solutions Lab, which covered a range of topics including biology, ecology, and environmental science. I also worked with students on data collection and analysis, experimental design, and scientific writing.
Between college and graduate school, I did one-on-one biology tutoring for Thomas More University for three semesters. This tutoring was done through the Institute for Learning Differences, where college students get individualized tutoring and organizational assistance. This gave me experience working with students with learning differences, and taught me to adapt my teaching to the needs of each student. When I start working with a student, the first step is to find out those needs. Does a student need help understanding the topics? Are they struggling with organization and/or where to focus their studying? Every student is unique, so my approach to tutoring must be unique for each student.
I am excited to work with both parents and students to achieve their goals. Please reach out if you have any questions or if you would like to schedule an in-person or online session.
