"I'm a patient, dedicated tutor with excellent pedagogical and technical skills. I have been an educator for 9 years at the university level.

This required a detailed understanding of both statistical terms and the precise nature of my experiments to be able to perform the appropriate test and interpret the results correctly.
As stated before, I have a masters in molecular biology and maintain close friendships with many of my friends still in academia. I taught labs and lectures at the university level and am familiar with introducing complex topics to beginners and more experienced learners alike.
As part of my teaching experience, I had to review student writing in a technical setting as well as editing for style and content. I have reviewed hundreds of student papers and have consistently improved the quality of students' writing by 1-3 letter grades. I also scored in the 95th percentile in the writing section on the GRE, and 99th percentile in the verbal section.
