About Me

I have a M.S. in Biology with research experience in animal behavior and ecology. I am currently a part time faculty member at Miami University's Regional campuses and UC Blue Ash. I teach various introductory level biology courses including anatomy and physiology and environmental science. My tutoring interests span from biology to math to English to test prep. My favorite of the maths is algebra, I enjoy editing papers and assisting with writing, and I have experience with ACT test prep. My teaching philosophy is that practice makes perfect! I also try to make the subject as interesting as possible to engage the student in the material. In my spare time I enjoy hiking in the woods with my border collie and playing board games or video games.

Q&A with Lacey

The trick to engaging the student in learning the material is to present the material in a way that makes it interesting to the student. Ultimately, practice makes perfect! How can you help a student become an independent learner? Begin with working through the problems/questions with the student, providing them with hints and tips with how to best learn the material needed to answer the question. Gradually progress to where the student answers the question on his/her own with me only checking their final answer. The last step is to not expect me to verify if an answer is correct. To become an independent learner, the student needs to be confident in their abilities. How would you help a student stay motivated?
