Advanced Level
This class is especially designed to challenge young children who are gifted and/or advanced learners with an interest in science. The class size is small and children will have time to discuss and share their thoughts. This is a science-based class and can be fast paced at times. Students will be introduced to 3 main areas - the human brain. We will cover interesting facts about the brain that will amaze us. We will work through a fun activity to help us understand the brain. 2. We will explore some important brain functions, and 3. We will learn how humans are different from animals in their thinking and behavior. I will present pictures and materials to illustrate the different concepts. Children will be given resources for extended learning after class. Image credit: (https://www.stockunlimited.com/#eyJpZCI6IjI4ODcwOCJ9)

Teacher expertise and credentials
Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a neuroscientist and educator. I enjoy teaching children about science - in particular, how science connects the world around us in ways we don't often think about. I try to encourage children to get excited about learning new concepts and to apply them in different situations. I teach classes on neuroscience, animal cognition, public health, and biology. I also enjoy hosting classes on Star Wars, and special topics of interest, mostly as requested by my own students!
I do animal research in the fields of neuroscience and psychiatry. I have 3 Master degrees - Clinical Psychology, Biopsychology, and Neuroscience. I completed my Masters (MS) and doctorate (Ph.D.) in Neuropharmacology from Texas Christian University and University of North Texas Health Science Center (UNTHSC). I then did two postdoctoral fellowships in Neuropsychopharmacology at Harvard Medical School. I was a university professor before joining a global pharmaceutical company.
My teaching philosophy is simple - I try to encourage children to be independent thinkers and to find connections in life about them. This will help them stay excited about learning and be life-long learners.Reviews
