Advancements in science happen every minute of every day and there is always something new to discuss. Since things can happen quickly in science, topics will change weekly and may change suddenly. A new development is most interesting to talk about while it is topical and classes will follow a format that can adapt to new information. You are welcome to jump in and out of this ongoing weekly meeting at any point, topics will not necessarily relate to each other. All disciplines of science are welcome here and students are encouraged to come and share their interests with the group. Topics can range from: Chemistry Zoology (Terrestrial Biology and Marine Biology) Plant Biology Astronomy Physics Anatomy Psychology Geology and much more! Topics such as these, and many others are the type of content that will be discussed, however, students are highly encouraged to come to the meeting with questions or observations of their own that interest them. Classes will be student-led and discussion-based and will adapt each week to what students seem most interested in at the moment. This course is meant to foster active engagement in their world and encourage an interest in all things scientific. We will engage in a comfortable learning environment where students practice their social skills, including listening and speaking. Students will use their critical thinking skills to engage in topics they are familiar with, as well as topics entirely new to them. Any level of prior scientific knowledge is welcome! Students are likewise encouraged to send me messages at any time about something they are curious about that could be discussed in future classes. *This is the 25-minute version of Science Talk. There is also a 50-minute version of this course, if that is your preference.

Maestría en Ciencia desde 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!
