Bio

I am 26 years old and recently graduated with an M.S. in entomology from the Ohio State University. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in biology (focused on entomology) from New College of Florida. I have about 7 years of experience tutoring biology and English reading/writing at elementary, high school and college levels, chemistry up to high school level, and elementary math. I adore one-on-one teaching and always love to see students take fresh interest in subjects as I help them understand...

I am 26 years old and recently graduated with an M.S. in entomology from the Ohio State University. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in biology (focused on entomology) from New College of Florida. I have about 7 years of experience tutoring biology and English reading/writing at elementary, high school and college levels, chemistry up to high school level, and elementary math. I adore one-on-one teaching and always love to see students take fresh interest in subjects as I help them understand the material!

In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing my violin, listening to music, cooking, and hiking.

I have worked as a biology TA for the Ohio State University from Aug. 2022-Apr. 2023, and as a biology tutor at New College of Florida from Sept. 2017 to Dec. 2018. Prior to that, I worked as a freelance tutor and educated elementary and high school students in several areas of biology (e.g. ecology, evolution, microbiology and cell biology), as well as chemistry.

Please feel free to contact me if you need help with a STEM subject (especially ecology, entomology, or evolution) or with any area of English writing! Online lessons only.

I have an M.S. in Entomology from the Ohio State University for research focused on pollinator ecology and urban landscape ecology. I also have a B.A. in Biology from New College of Florida, and during my undergraduate studies I conducted several research projects focused on subjects such as trophic interactions, shoreline ecology, epiphyte community structure, and invasive pest insects. I worked as a biology TA at OSU for 1 year and a biology tutor at NCF for ~1 1/2 years, and I have about 7 years of freelance tutoring experience in ecology and biology up to college level.
Zoology

Zoology

At New College of Florida I took multiple zoology-related courses including Evolution, Entomology, Entomology Laboratory, Foundations of Biology. I also conducted research projects which included zoology work, such as taxonomic classification and organization of insect specimens, observations of the distribution of species in multiple habitat types, and surveys of epibiont communities on trees. In both the Evolution course and a number of ecology courses, I studied and practiced taxonomy, cladistics and usage of dichotomous keys. These subjects have made up a moderate amount of my STEM subject tutoring in past years.

Knowledgable and great tutor

Iliana was able to explain difficult terms thoroughly and used visual aids to illustrate difficult topics. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a Bio tutor.

Very Good First Lesson

Iliana was patient with my daughter, who is a big talker. She took time to understand where my daughter is at as a violinist and will tailor the lessons according to that. I look forward to working with her.
