Hi! I'm Jana, and I hold a Master's degree in Biology. Although I currently work as an epidemiologist building and modifying disease surveillance systems, I am passionate about helping students understand and excel in biology.

I hold a Master's degree in biology with a marine and invertebrate specialty, focusing on marine disease ecology. This advanced training provided me with a strong foundation across all core areas of biology: cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and physiology. My research experience gives me deep understanding of how biological concepts interconnect, which is invaluable when helping students see the bigger picture.

My teaching approach centers on patience and encouragement, building student confidence through manageable steps. I believe every student can succeed in biology by breaking complex topics into digestible pieces, using real-world examples, and adapting my style to match how each student learns best. My goal isn't just helping you pass tests, but building genuine understanding for your entire academic journey.

I provide comprehensive support for middle school general science (grades 6-8), high school biology (grades 9-12), college introductory biology, and AP Biology preparation. I also assist with study skills, test preparation, and making complex concepts understandable. Whether you're struggling with basic principles or tackling advanced topics, I help students progress confidently toward their academic goals through patient, personalized instruction.

Biology

Biology

I hold a Master's degree in biology with specialized expertise in marine and invertebrate biology, focusing specifically on marine disease ecology research. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, I designed and conducted independent biology experiments, requiring extensive knowledge and application of biostatistical concepts for data analysis. My research experience has provided me with deep understanding of how biological concepts interconnect across all major areas, including cell biology, genetics, evolution, ecology, and physiology. This comprehensive academic and research background, combined with my patient teaching approach, allows me to help students build genuine understanding of complex biological principles at both high school and college levels.
Biostatistics

Biostatistics

During my graduate program, I not only achieved proficiency in biostatistics as a requirement, but I also designed and analyzed my own biology experiments throughout both undergraduate and graduate school. This hands-on research experience required extensive knowledge and understanding of biostatistical concepts and their practical application. In my current role as a systems epidemiologist, I use biostatistical concepts every day to communicate important disease surveillance trends and manage large data sets.
Ecology

Ecology

My Master's degree in biology with a marine and invertebrate specialty has given me extensive expertise in ecological systems, particularly marine disease ecology, where I studied the complex interactions between pathogens, hosts, and environmental factors. Through my research experience, I have developed a deep understanding of ecological principles including population dynamics, community interactions, ecosystem functioning, and evolutionary ecology. My hands-on work designing and analyzing ecological experiments has provided me with practical knowledge of how organisms interact with their environment and with each other across multiple scales. This specialized background in ecological research, combined with my strong foundation in biostatistics, enables me to help students understand both theoretical ecological concepts and their real-world applications.
