Class Experience
This 1:1 class offers private, targeted learning for students in need of some additional guidance when it comes to the biological sciences. These classes allow students to gain confidence in a subject in a calm and supportive atmosphere. Students will be encouraged to solve problems and think critically, while be guided toward the correct solutions. Classes will often expand on material through discussion and examples to allow students more opportunity to grasp the concepts presented. This course is student led. Each week in advance of the meeting the teacher will receive information, topics, homework, tests, articles, or any other material the student may need to learn that week. We will then work through the material together and provide meaningful discussion and comprehension checks throughout the meeting. All that is required in this class is a students willingness to try! Whether your learner may want help with work throughout the school year, or just wants to keep some science in their schedule throughout the summer, they would be very welcome here! * This 1:1 private lesson course could take on many other scientific subjects as well, such as K-12 math, chemistry, physics, or geology. Please reach out to me if your learner is in need of assistance in any of these topics.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree in Science from Saint Mary's University
Hello, Outschoolers!
My name is John and I have been a scientist and educator for over 15 years. I hold a Bachelor of Science (Honors in Biology), Master of Applied Sciences, and a Ph.D. in biology. Over my BSc, MSc and PhD I have designed and delivered courses for students aged 3 to 63 for class sizes ranging from one-on-one lessons to classrooms of over 300 students.
I have professionally taught subjects such as Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Astronomy, and Math, as well as more focused lessons such as courses in Public Speaking, Time Management, and Conversation Skills. I have worked as a scientific mentor and instructor to students in elementary school all the way to university. I hold certificates for 150-hour Teaching English as a Foreign Language and 250-hour Intensive Teaching certificates, and have participated in seminars for Grading and Giving Feedback to students. I have given scientific conference presentations to audiences of more than 700 people, and have published a number of peer-reviewed scientific articles. I also have experience coaching a variety of sports including hockey, basketball, and volleyball. I have been teaching courses online for 5 years to more than 1200 students.
I am a lifelong student and love to learn new things each day. My teaching philosophy revolves around this idea, that every student has a lot of their own to offer and I always try to relate any topic to a student's interest. You may find classes of mine that take popular culture and relate these hobbies and interests with academic concepts to help students relate to the material. My classes are often heavy in discussion (though no student is forced to speak if they do not want to) and we expand on the material in each lesson based on what students are most interested in. This often results in courses that interest me in particular and that I think can offer students a lot of value and critical thinking skills. I teach high-level academic courses, as well as conversation-based community development to foster interest in sharing things students enjoy.
Private, personalized tutoring is also available. Send me a message if interested.
I hope to see you all in class soon!
