Career Experience

With a Ph.D in immunology, I became a research scientist in a medical diagnostic company. This gave me the opportunity to build an expertise in designing and developing immune system-based diagnostics which could be used in the study of infectious diseases, cancer and auto-immune diseases. After 15 yrs in this industry, I felt called to change careers and became a high school science teacher, teaching all levels of chemistry and physics courses. I have recently retired after 18 yrs.

I Love Tutoring Because

...as a high school teacher, I had many opportunities to tutor students in a one-to-one setting and there is a great deal of satisfaction in being able to interact with a student in this way. The two-way communication is a much more effective way to break down learning barriers and fill in knowledge gaps. I also get to share more closely in the student's progress and the growing confidence in their abilities.

The tutor provided excellent feedback on mistakes I was making and how to correct my mistakes. The tutor helped me to understand density conversion and factors that I need to account for.
