Hi! I'm Abbie Butler, a passionate and experienced educator specializing in Life Sciences.  I'd love to answer any questions you have – just send me a message!

My Expertise:
 * B.S. in Biology, AYA Teaching License (Grades 7-12) in Life Sciences (Muskingum University, 2013)
 * 10+ years teaching high school Life Sciences (Biology, Anatomy, Zoology, Oceanography, Nutrition, Botany, Horticulture, Environmental Science) and leading knit and crochet clubs.
 * 5+ years of online teaching experience (since 2018).
 * Experience tutoring for standardized science exams (OGT, OAA, NCSE, End of Course exams aligned with Ohio and NGSS standards).
 * 2 years of online ESL teaching.

My Classes:
I offer engaging and interactive classes in Anatomy, Biology, Zoology, Botany, Environmental Science, and lab-based topics. I also teach crochet to learners aged 12-18 and offer private tutoring.

My Teaching Style:
I believe in hands-on, student-centered learning.  My lessons are interactive, incorporating practice and application throughout.  A typical class structure involves short teaching segments using Quizizz or PowerPoint, followed by practice questions (multiple choice, diagrams, matching), then another short teaching segment with more practice, culminating in a review and summary.

About Me:
I'm a left-handed crocheter with 14 years of experience. I provide clear explanations, modeling, and supplemental YouTube videos to support your learning.  I also enjoy biking, fishing, nature walks, baking (attempts!), crafting with my Cricut, and spending time with my family.

My Teaching Philosophy:
I'm committed to helping you achieve mastery and long-term retention of the material.  I believe learning is most effective when you're actively involved.  My classes are designed to be fun and engaging, leaving you confident in your new knowledge.  Hyperdocs with Google Docs are used to share resources on the day of class.

Class Policies:
 * Cancellations: If a class doesn't meet minimum enrollment, I'll contact enrolled students to discuss options: proceed with the smaller class or transfer to another section. If no students arrive, I'll wait 5-10 minutes and then record the lesson for later viewing.
 * Refunds/Transfers:  Most classes follow a "Limited" refund policy: refunds are available up to one week before the class or within 24 hours of purchase. After that, transfers are possible up to 24 hours before class. No-shows are not refunded but may receive a recording.
 * Recordings: I generally post recordings upon parent request or weekly, if I remember to post them automatically.  Recordings are accessible in the classroom.
 * Flex Classes: I am currently revamping my flex class offerings.  Recordings of live classes can be used with provided materials for self-paced learning.
