I've enjoyed teaching the following disciplines:
physics, chemistry, biology, environmental, geology, Earth and astronomy.
I teach one time classes, weekly classes, private classes for tutoring and also teach private playdates/parties with a topic of interest.
Here are some topics I teach:
Genetics and Heredity
Atomic Structure
Physics of Roller Coasters

My philosophy:
Science is learned best by doing!
Science is constantly evolving and there are new, exciting discoveries every day.
Working together is always key and asking questions, making inferences and developing your hypothesis makes you a scientist!
