About Me

Knowledge and the pursuit of it has always been incredibly important to me. Teaching/tutoring fits in well with these passions, there's nothing I enjoy more than instilling the same passion for learning I have in other people. I am currently working on a Bachelors of Science in Biology at Arizona State University, so Biology is certainly my strong suit. I am also currently working for the Social Insect Research Group (SIRG) at ASU doing Genetics work on a local harvester ant species. I love research and I love teaching individuals, especially when the information I am providing is not well known. In the past I have worked in medicine as an EMT/Ski Patroller and a Medical Assistant. I truly love academia and plan to pursue a PhD and a professorship later on but it doesn't totally encapsulate my life. I also love to ride my bike (both mountain and road). Nearly anything that will get me outside, I'm certain to enjoy (rock climbing, hiking, backpacking). Photography is another activity I enjoy, and it goes very well with my "outdoorsy" activities by giving me a way to artistically capture the beauty around me on my hikes. Tutoring is really a great system for reinforcing learning. One-on-one interactions are difficult with how large schools are in major metropolitan areas and individual teaching can be so beneficial for individuals who desire something more than the traditional "lecture and parrot back" form of teaching.

Q&A with Evan

My teaching philosophy is flexibility and adaptability. Any teacher that can see the individual necessities of each student will be that much more successful in helping the student to learn and comprehend the material. How can you help a student become an independent learner? Over-lecturing is usually not the answer. Engagement from the student is crucial. Activities that allow the student to demonstrate their learning by applying it to situations not covered previously both shows the tutor/teacher the student's capabilities, as well as teaches the student critical thinking skills that can be used in many situations. How would you help a student stay motivated?
