Thirty years managing industrial operations as a Controller and CFO meant Alan was constantly running the numbers behind real-world processes — tracking chemical costs, analyzing production yields, and interpreting quality-control data that depends on understanding how materials behave. That hands-o...

An ecology and evolutionary biology degree means Jane doesn't just teach science vocabulary — she thinks like a scientist. She unpacks concepts like natural selection, energy flow through ecosystems, and experimental design by walking students through the reasoning behind each idea, not just the def...

Maxwell's physics degree gives him a ground-level understanding of mechanics, electromagnetism, and even quantum phenomena, while his math background supplies the quantitative rigor that makes science click. He tackles problems by walking through the physical intuition first — what's actually happen...

Alyssa's background in biology — including AP and IB coursework — means she can walk students through core concepts like cell structure, genetics, and ecological systems with real confidence. She connects scientific vocabulary to its Latin and Greek roots, a linguistics trick that makes dense termin...

A PhD in Environmental Engineering and a BS in Chemical Engineering gave Kevin deep fluency across chemistry, physics, and biology — from balancing redox reactions to interpreting energy transfer in ecosystems. He breaks down scientific reasoning by walking through how to read data, set up unit conv...

Between her neuroscience major and her chemistry coursework at Emory, Maria has spent semesters immersed in the kind of science that requires moving fluidly between disciplines — tracing how a molecule behaves in a cell, how that cell fires in a nervous system, and how that system produces observabl...
