"Hello, I'm Ryan. I'm a former professor at the University of Texas at Austin and now a full-time tutor and research mentor. I have over 25 years of teaching experience with diverse students at all levels (HS to med school). My areas of expertise are AP biology, molecular biology, cell biology, genetics, and neurophysiology. If you are looking for a professional educator who understands the bioverse, curriculum and assessment, scientific research, and STEM careers, I would love to help you achieve your goals.

AP BOARD - AP BIOLOGY NATIONAL EXAM

Prepare for the FRQ portion of the exam using my archive of actual AP Board FRQ questions. The AP Board FRQs require data analysis and interpretation of experimental scenarios, as well as synthesis, integration, and application of concepts across all Units. They also require concise scientific writing. I will work with you to develop all of these skills.

RESEARCH MENTORING:

For ambitious Honors and/or AP Bio students, I mentor a research group called High School CRISPR Academy. We do original and rigorous research projects involving data mining, software and webtools, CRISPR design, recombinant DNA technology, and neurodegenerative disorders. I'm happy to send you an FAQ sheet with more details. Project is remote with bimonthly mentoring. Your work can be presented at science fairs and we aim to publish our work in scientific journals whenever possible.
