"I work as a software engineer now, however, I have nearly a decade of experience in the fields of education and biological research. I offer a unique combination of elementary, secondary, undergraduate, and graduate level instructional experience in both traditional and online settings, as well as a strong research background in the biological sciences and in education psychology. I can tutor students at any grade level for a variety of subjects including the biology, chemistry, math, statistics, computer science, Spanish, and Language Arts. I have tutored these subjects through Varsity Tutors for several years and helped improved my clients' grades drastically. Some of my work in curricular development includes creating:

- Online curricula at the university level

- Supplementary lesson plans for diverse IEP and ESL (English as a second language)

- Biology curricula at the K-12 school level, including the General Biology, AP Biology, Sheltered Biology, Zoology/Botany, and AP Environmental Science

I hold a teaching credential in the biological sciences as well as a bachelor's degree in biology. Much of my graduate work consisted of extensive curricular design for STEM subjects, particularly biology, where I combined my industry experience as a behavioral ecologist with my pedagogical knowledge and curricular differentiation skills. At the undergraduate level, I took several biology upper division courses (ie: microbiology, biochemistry, genetics, marine biology, and botany) and can assist you with most of your tutoring needs within the biological sciences.

In addition to biology, I am also very experienced in computer science and software engineering. I can assist students in developing several skills including JavaScript, Python, HTML/CSS, data structures, algorithms, and web app development.

Feel free to contact me, as I would be happy to help your child (or you) exceed their goals and standards of achievement in whichever STEM subject for which they need guidance." less...
