I started gaining practical teaching experience as a martial artist in high school, which ultimately encouraged me to major in English Education. Four years later, I graduated college with a dual degree in Professional Writing and in Secondary Education. But rather than take the route of teaching in a standard classroom, I opted to gain practical experience by writing for both online and print-based publications. My return to teaching happened in a dance classroom, and that is where I am c... Read more

I have been a teaching assistant at the University of Connecticut for two years. I have taught classes in biology and biochemistry with average class sizes of about 20 students. I hold office hours for these classes and I always encourage my students to contact me for one-on-one tutoring if there are materials that they do not quite understand. In cases where the students are having a hard time understanding a complex problem, I like to make simple connections with material they might have ... Read more

I have always been passionate about teaching. For me, the best teaching approach is to provide a basic understanding of a complex problem by giving examples relating to the real world. It helps the students to visualise the problem and understand it better. I also like to code and learn new and advanced programming languages. I am self taught in Python and Data Science. The general perception about writing a code is that it is a difficult task. But, I think once you understand the basic struc... Read more

Seasoned biologist with extensive education, experience, and patience
I fell in love with science as an undergraduate student at Cornell University. My passion for learning keeps me close to universities and colleges where I worked for several years in a variety of research areas (including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, cancer, and cystic fibrosis). I've reached a point in my scientific career where I believe it is time to share my knowledge and experience and I love nothing more than talking about biology with young, curious minds. I've come to und... Read more
