Homework
As a tutorial, there is no specific homework other than what is assigned by your instructor. Occasionally, videos, articles, or other teaching aids may be shared, but viewing them is not mandatory.Assessment
The hope is that participation in tutorials will support a student in their other Biology class.Class Experience
US Grade 3 - 12
Are you (or your learner) in a Biology class that is not meeting all your needs? Is it unclear, ambiguous, or just boring? Do you have questions? ("Why should I care?" counts as a question.)
Let me help you - both in succeeding in your class, and in understanding why Biology is the most awesome field of science.
This is a regular, weekly one-on-one session focusing on Biology. If you want more than one session a week, sign up for more than one section of this "class!"

Students are expected to be taking Biology somewhere else (or here on Outschool), and this One-on-One is intended to support that. Participation in this tutorial should improve a student's performance in their Biology course.

Parental Guidance
My background is in science and science education. Evolution, including that of humans, is accepted as fact, both in this course and by scientists in general. Human anatomy and sex education are commonly featured in Introductory Biology. In my classes, sexual reproduction is not shied away from, and I will answer questions that arise as truthfully (and age-appropriately) as possible. We also assume that climate change is real and is anthropogenic (human-caused). Oh, yeah, and the Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old.
Note: I say evolution and climate change are accepted as facts, but I am certainly happy to discuss WHY these are accepted as facts, and how we came to dismiss alternate explanations. Science is an iterative process, constantly trying to improve itself and its accuracy, and evolution is one of the most supported theories in the world of science today.
Supply List
We may add resources as needed, but this will be discussed one-on-one.
