Jon
We all stand on the shoulders of giants.
I'm a PhD scientist by training but I'm not doing research for the moment. I've been a teacher in many capacities. The most recent was as an Assistant Professor at a small university in Newport Rhode Island where I was teaching biochemistry and parasitology as well as Introduction to Biology. I have an extensive knowledge of many aspects of molecular biology as well as the principals underlying critical areas of microbial pathogens. I'm very charismatic and understanding of how children... Read more

I too have experienced difficulty learning from traditional settings. I got my GED in 1976 after having difficulty in the traditional education setting.

My Ph.D. is in Physiology and my minor is in Biochemistry. My B.S. is in Biology. I have 25 years of teaching experience in Physiology and Pathology. I believe that successful teaching is best accomplished through clear communication. My past college teaching experiences involved classes that typically had enrollments of over 150 students. Although large class instruction is fun and challenging, it lacks the one on one experience that allows an instructor to tailor the deliver of subject... Read more
