Experience
VCU Biology Lab Teaching Assistant 2011-2013 and 2014 - current Courses taught: Introductory Biology, Plant Behavior, Life Science Research Recitation (discussion course) Tutor at J Sargeant Reynolds CC 2004-05 Subjects: Math and Science Undergraduate and Graduate level statistics and biostatistics courses Many biology and ecology courses (see degrees above) Spanish throughout highschool and 2 semesters in undergraduate. I want to tutor because I enjoy helping others learn. Observing when the proverbial 'light bulb' goes off in someones' mind and they understand a subject more than they did previous is very rewarding for me. I understand that learning in a distracting classroom environment can be difficult for many people and for some, one-on-one discussion or explanation of a subject can be more effective.
