About Barbara


Bio

Hi, I am a biomedical researcher at the University of Florida. I earned my PhD in Biomedical Sciences (Neuroscience and Genetics) and my Bachelor's in microbiology from the University of Florida. I have tutored biology, microbiology and genetics at the high school and undergraduate levels. Aside from my extensive education in the subject, I am very patient, which I think is key in being an effective tutor.

Hi, I am a biomedical researcher at the University of Florida. I earned my PhD in Biomedical Sciences (Neuroscience and Genetics) and my Bachelor's in microbiology from the University of Florida. I have tutored biology, microbiology and genetics at the high school and undergraduate levels. Aside from my extensive education in the subject, I am very patient, which I think is key in being an effective tutor. I love finding different ways to help students "get it" in a way that works for them - I am a problem solver! I find that this extra piece of patience and insight into the students' learning style is what sets me apart.
In addition to science, I have a lot of experience with English and Spanish grammar and ESOL with both children and adults. I am a native Spanish speaker who went through the ESOL system herself. I have helped many friends and family practice their English language and grammar. Additionally, I held a part-time job for approximately one year as a grammar editor for college essays, and I am available for help with essay construction and editing as well.

I am just starting off on Wyzant! I am very excited to be helpful to any student who needs my help here. Looking forward to meeting you!

ESL/ESOL

I am a native Spanish speaker who went through the ESOL program herself in elementary school. Starting in high school, I tutored adults and children of family friends in speaking and writing English
Genetics

Genetics

I have 7+ years experience in genetics laboratories. I can teach the concepts, lab techniques, applications, history. I have experience tutoring and as a teacher's assistant in college classes.
Psychology

Psychology

Psychology is my hobby! I took multiple elective psychology courses in high school and during my undergraduate studies. I have continued to learn ever since. In my current studies towards a PhD in Neuroscience/Genetics, I have had the opportunity to learn abnormal psychology associated with genetic disorders. I have read a number of books and am highly enthusiastic in the subject! Since I have no formal degree in this subject, my fee is negotiable - feel free to reach out and we can work out an agreement for your needs.
