Bridget
Online High School Tutor Specializing in Biology
Hi, i'm Bridget! I graduated cum laude from Iowa State University with a degree in Biology. Over the past few years I have seen many people hate a subject not because they aren't interested in the field, but because they do not like their current teacher's teaching style. As a tutor I would like to be able to help my student not only increase their grade in the subject of biology, but also increase their interest in the field. During college I had many friends that were struggling in biol... Read more

People have always guessed that I was a teacher as if I had it emblazoned on my forehead! In fact, as a child I was the neighborhood teacher conducting class in our garage. In college I wanted to know French so well that I could teach English in France. However, after 6 years of French that never materialized, and I didn't make it to France until about 30 yrs later. Amazing how I could still carry on a conversation in French after all that time!! I truly love the language! I also love the En... Read more
