Please contact me for information regarding my AP Biology review workshop. Sessions begin March 11th at 8pm EST!

Specializing in both AP and IB Biology tutoring.

My name is Travis M. I graduated from Michigan State University in 1996, with a Bachelor of Science in Lyman Briggs Zoology. Upon graduation, I entered graduate school (MSU) and taught a number of science courses at the University level. During this time I also entered the Teacher Education program offered by MSU completing it in the spring of 1999. MSU's Teacher Education program is routinely rated as one of the best education schools in the country, and it helped me sharpen my skills as a teacher. During the summer of 2000, I completed my Master’s in Zoology. My research entailed studying the effects of platinum containing chemotherapeutic drugs on tissues and enzyme systems in the Wistar rat. My graduate course work included many biology and chemistry courses as well as some course work in teacher methodology. I believe my experience teaching biology enables me to help students understand and enjoy the subject about which I am so passionate!

I have taught introductory biology, as well as upper level courses in the biological and zoological sciences to undergraduate students while in graduate school at Michigan State University.

I have taught AP Biology for 17+ years.

I have graded AP Biology exams for 15 years, and have served as a Table Leader and Question Leader at the annual AP Reading.

I am a consultant who hosts workshops to instruct teachers new to teaching AP Biology.

I have taught HL & SL IB Biology for 13+ years.

I encourage you to take advantage of the services I have to offer you as a student. Working together, we can improve your understanding of biology and enable you to enjoy the topic more and hopefully improve your test scores at the same

Knowledgeable AP biology tutor, helped me get a 5

Travis helped me prepare for school exams and AP exams. He is very knowledgeable and has lots of resources and practice questions on any bio topic to help his students. Travis is very kind and great at explaining. I was able to do well in my class and received a 5 on the 2021 AP Biology exam. I highly recommend working with Travis for any help with biology.

Great AP Bio tutor

We are fortunate to connect with Travis 2 months before the AP exam. My daughter was super happy and gained confidence back on the subject after the first session. Travis is very experienced with the AP exam, he helps fill in the gaps left by school teacher and pinpoints the topics and info that are important for the exam. We highly recommend Travis for AP bio!

The best biology tutor + advisor

Travis understands the AP bio content, is patient in answering questions, and goes into details w my son on areas that he needs focus on - for the exam and for the class. As good as it gets, wish we had Travis as a tutor since the fall.

Helpful and Understanding

Over the course of the first class he was able to teach me what I had done wrong in my previous exam and how to come upon the right answer, looking both at the correct answer but also at why i answered what I answered.

Perfect

Travis was great. Personable, connected with my son, very knowledgeable, knew the material extremely well. Greatly helped him get an A on the exam he needed help with.

Excellent AP Bio tutor

Knowledgeable and patient tutor. Very response to emails to set up the first session and was able to easily guide the learning specifically towards questions and topics of weakness in the subject. Even brought up questions at the end to solidify learning.

Phenomenal teacher - great results!

Travis tutored our son throughout this school year in AP bio and we could not be happier. Our son’s grades improved significantly (from low 70% to mid-high 80%) in a very competitive 9th grade class of a specialized MedSci high school. Travis is always prepared for class with the appropriate materials relevant for given session and patient in explaining complicated topics. He conducted an awesome review of AP bio topics in preparation for the final test and our son felt he was outmost prepared for success. We would absolutely recommend Travis for AP class in high school as well as for college students! Thank you!
