I've taught at the college level for nearly 50 years, which makes me not just old but also highly experienced. My former students rate me as effective not just as a tutor but also as a teacher and research supervisor. I have earned many teaching awards, all unsolicited. The one I'm proudest of is as one of Princeton Review's 300 Best Professors, a national ranking they did in 2012. What I treasure about tutoring is that aha moment that a student experiences when something unfamiliar or previously unfathomable suddenly just clicks.
I taught at Oberlin College for 34 years in the following subjects: general biology, organismal biology, cell biology, developmental biology, molecular genetics, epigenetics, histology, and bioethics. Prior to that, I also taught general zoology, entomology, biological control, insect ecology, and medical entomology.
Rather than teaching to the test, I seek to train students in reasoning and logic. I do not answer questions, I ask hard ones and support you as you discover the answers.
