Education
I have a Master of Marine Affairs (University of Washington 2013, 3.8) which is an interdisciplinary degree including environmental science, management, and policy. I also have earned a Bachelors of Science in Biology (St. Louis University 2008, 3.7)- graduating Magna cum laude with an Honors degree, a Spanish minor and certificate in Leadership Development.
Experience
My focus is to help your student succeed and develop skills that translate to every day life, like goal setting. I know I've achieved my goal when your student is so confident they can find solutions to their own problems, that they don't need me anymore. I teach my students not just the material, but how to develop effective study habits and skills. I have taught high school and college-level biology, psychology, and environmental science, tutored with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, and volunteered in school programs in 3 Spanish-speaking countries. I have a keen eye for editing writing and developing essays, and I have a strong passion for critical thinking. I love science, I love writing, and I love to help young people become self-sufficient. One of the most accomplished young men I know was a boy I tutored and mentored with Big Brothers/Big Sisters in St. Louis. We bonded over our love of reading and writing. He is now on a full-ride to study English at Loyola U, and still teases me about how I made him set and achieve homework goals before he could play outside. I do well on standardized exams because I learn what the exam is looking for and then practice those exact skills. I received a 1380/1600 on the older version of the SAT in 2003, a 31 on the ACT and a 1360 on the GRE.
