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....
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.
