Career Experience
While in grad school, I TA'ed for a variety of biology courses, from basic to advanced. After that I have worked as a substitute in a local school district, done private tutoring and lectured at a local university.
I Love Tutoring Because
starting in junior high, teachers put me with struggling students because I was good at figuring out the issue a student was getting stuck on and then explaining it in a clear way. As a TA my favorite classes to teach were classes for non-biology majors. This gave me the opportunity to work with students who either didn't like or simply weren't good at biology. Helping students find an interest in and be able to understand biology is immensely rewarding for me.
