I have been tutoring students in biology for 3+ years. I have a master's in biology and an undergraduate degree in fisheries biology. I am passionate about helping students because I love biology, and I want to help others foster a positive relationship with biology. I am comfortable tutoring college level biology, natural sciences, and anatomy courses. I have a strong background in natural resources so I love working with those classes, but I also enjoy tutoring general biology because that is the basis for future classes.

Every student learns a different way and it is the tutor's responsibility to figure that way out. This may include some trial and error. Each student has a unique learning style and it is the tutor's responsibility to figure this out and accommodate the student. Children must understand the basics and have a firm foundation before they can build on this and soar to the heights they have the ability to attain. One of the most gratifying experiences for a teacher is helping students achieve knowledge and truly understand and master a technique or concept. I hope you will allow me the privilege of helping you or your child reach their goal, whatever that might be.
