Hello, I'm Chris! I am a doctoral candidate that loves teaching and helping my students to succeed! I graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelors of Science in Anthropology (Archaeological Sciences emphasis) and a Minor in Integrative Human Biology. I have also received a Masters in Anthropology and I am currently working on my PhD looking at the development and evolution of human knee joint biology. My passion for teaching has driven me to work as a tutor since high school, as well as a TA and laboratory instructor throughout college and graduate school, resulting in 8 years of tutoring and teaching experience. I enjoy creating a positive learning environment and I focus on using multiple methods to convey information to my students, including discussions, lectures, and study games. I have found that in doing this, my students are able to better learn and retain important information, allowing them to gather the skills and knowledge necessary for success in the academic environment.

Through my undergraduate and graduate degrees I have received trainings and knowledge on human anatomy, biology, evolution, archaeology, and history, for which I consistently received high marks (A's). During my time at graduate school, I have regularly taught human anatomy and TA'd for biological anthropology courses. Before that, I TA'd for archaeology classes several times during my undergraduate career, as well as worked as a tutor for the university. As a tutor I worked with students to help them improve their essay and exam scores in history, anthropology, and archaeology courses. All in all, the subjects I have previously taught or currently teach include Human Anatomy, Biological Anthropology, Human and Primate Evolution, Archaeology, History, English, and English as a Second Language (ESL).

Teaching is my passion and I love to see students succeed at their coursework. I am always happy to help out however I can, and am willing to work with parents or students to make the learning experience as informative and enjoyable
