Class Experience

Beginner - Advanced Level
Embark on a comprehensive journey through high school biology with our personalized tutoring sessions. From the intricacies of DNA to the vast complexities of ecosystems, this class is designed to help you master all key concepts. In whatever Biology topic you need assistance in, our one-on-one sessions provide the support you need to excel in your studies. Perfect for students looking to boost their understanding, improve grades, and build a solid foundation in biology.

In my primary career I have worked with many students from varying neurodiverse backgrounds in achieving their goals to grow a great foundation in Biology. If you want to prep for future classes, get ready for the AP Bio test, or need help on a specific subject, I am here to be of assistance! 

Classes are taught based on inquiry-based models and use discussion strategies to make sure we are not just memorizing, but fully understanding and retaining key info (in a way that's hopefully fun too). I draw from experiences such as studying in the Ecuadorian rainforest and from other pools of stories that help convey how these topics are applied in innovate ways within the real world from AI Medicinal Technology through Microstructures utilized to understand the colors of dinosaur feathers. I do try to keep up-to-date with current events to also show how the science is still growing! 

Classes may be scheduled based on the needs of the student, from one-off study sessions to repeating AP-Prep meetings. Simply reach out if meeting times can be provided or adjusted to suit what's best for you.

This is an autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergences-friendly classroom. I myself am neurodivergent and this an open space where a student does not need to mask. Miscommunication will not be assumed to be rudeness, and I want curiosity to thrive. I will additionally, joyfully always accommodate best I can if any needs or learning strategies are provided ahead of time.
Learning Goals
Understand and explain key biological concepts such as cell structure and function, genetics, evolution, and ecology.
