Hello, I'm Ashley! I graduated with my B.S. in Biology at Millsaps College, a private liberal-arts college located in Jackson, MS. I am now a graduate student at Utah State University, pursuing my Ph.D. in Biology. I currently study insects, a passion I picked up in college as a result of having a wonderful professor. It was my experience with the great faculty at my college that lead me to pursuing my Ph.D. I learned that having a thoughtful and knowledgeable teacher is an invaluable experience that can lead to great growth over a short period of time.
I have 2 years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have been a teacher's assistant both at an undergraduate and a graduate student level. The classes that I have taught have been 25-30 students in size, allowing me to give presentations at a more general level, yet connect with the students individually in order to provide one-on-one lessons. I have always provided lessons to my students outside of the classroom as needed, helping provide them a deeper understanding of material they may have missed in class. I have a skilled understanding in biology, genetics, zoology, computer programming, and R, and am happy to help in interdisciplinary studies as it relates to these subjects.
I would like to help my students gain the understanding they need to not only learn information, but understand how to apply it. Application is crucial in succeeding both in biological and computer sciences. Additionally, I would happily welcome any suggestions or resources that students or parents could provide to make the tutoring process more successful. I am easy to reach and will respond quickly to any questions. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or to schedule a lesson!
I have taken classes on programming in R and apply it to my everyday work.
In my undergraduate coursework, I took a diverse range of science classes ranging from Chemistry, to Botany and Zoology, all the way to geosciences.
I have additionally taken classes on computer programm
