Experience
I've been working in education for more than ten years, in a wide variety of venues with a wide variety of students, most notably those in college and high school. I attended Northern Illinois University, where I received a degree in Biology. While there, I tutored Biology, Mathematics, and Chemistry. Doing this really fueled my interest in educating. I went to Portland State University and received an M.S. in Teaching, all the while tutoring Chemistry and Mathematics. While at PSU, I also acted as a TA in a number of undergrad Science classes. I've since been teaching Environmental Sciences, Ecology, and Mathematics at a private college in my area. I thoroughly enjoy teaching, and I especially love working with students in Mathematics because it's often a difficult, intimidating subject. It's great to be able to aid students in overcoming their difficulties. When I tutor, I tend to simplify the material into smaller components, explicate complex theories with verve and clarity, and work with students to develop a game plan toward success. I love nature, art, and wildlife.
