Math and Biology Tutor

Math and Biology Tutor

I have a great love for teaching because of its challenges and the great responsibility that a teacher has to his/her students to instill an interest and knowledge in the subject matter. Because of this, I continually strive to improve as an educator. My passion for teaching is also evident in my work as a Biology Professor at the undergraduate level, and as a Math and Reading tutor for a local learning center.

To succeed, I believe in good two-way communication between a teacher and student and my students are encouraged to actively participate in their own education. I present problems to solve and help them understand complex ideas and develop valuable learning skills that germinate into independent study.

My tutoring subjects are in Math and Biology. I teach Math in the areas of Elementary, Middle and High School Math, covering topics from Algebra (Pre-, 1 and 2), Factorization, Quadratic Equations, Graphing and Geometry. In Biology, I teach all levels of Biology from Middle, High School and Undergraduate and Graduate Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Anatomy and Physiology and Genetics.

I use study materials that are readily available from school, or bookstores and websites and assign homework and assessments. I also discuss the progress of my students with their parents often.

My schedule is flexible. I am available most days and weekends, and am able to travel to meet with students.

I look forward to meeting and helping all students meet their academic goals!
