Biology, Environmental Science, Plant Biology/Botany, & English Language Tuition

Àpd 30.42 $ /h

I am a bio-environmental scientist (Ph.D.) with over 12 years' experience teaching secondary school and university courses in biology (AP Biology, Introductory Biology for majors and non-majors, Environmental Science, Plant Biology/Botany, and Marine Biology). I am also experienced teaching high school French and English as a Second Language. I take a multi-media approach at interactive education, using personalised presentations, critical thinking assignments, and student-led discussions to convey complex topics through enjoyable exercises. My teaching philosophy is centred on tying educational topics to real-life experiences. The more we understand about the word around us, the more fun we have through life!

Présentation

Hello, everyone! I'm a bio-environmental scientist from the lush and balmy City of Atlanta in the USA. I currently live in Amsterdam where I teach online biology and environmental science courses. The natural world has fascinated me since I was a child, going on long nature walks with my father and helping my mom in her garden. I was so excited to learn that the green stuff growing on the surface of lakes was made of single-celled organisms, my parents bought me my first microscope when I was 10 years old!

At university, I studied Environmental Science, Biology, and French. After a short stint working in France, I came back to Atlanta where I completed a Master's and Ph.D. in Biology, studying how special plants and microorganisms can be used to help clean up pollution like heavy metals and oil spills. After my studies, I worked for six years as an environmental planner for my state government.

I love teaching as much as I love doing science! It's really fun to help students make sense out of complex concepts like "how do plants make their food?", or "why do I have different colour eyes from my siblings?", or "what does climate change mean?".

If you have any questions about how I can help you with your science courses or conversational/academic English, please reach out!
