...of Biology and Psychology. I love to help others learn new material in fun and diverse ways. Adapting to each individual's needs depending on their learning style is the key to overall success.

...entire life, and suddenly, I was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me.

There is no better way to do that than to help others learn too, and that is, most of all, what...

To me, however, this is a sign of the teachers failing to inspire and spark interest...

We performed awesome chemistry demonstrations for a variety of audiences, from elementary school...
