Private tutor in Ithaca, NY

Education

PhD in Molecular Biology and Genetics at Cornell University (August 2014). B.S. In Molecular Genetics from The Ohio State University with Honors and Research Distinction (Spring 2009).

Experience

I have TA'd for "Introduction to Genetics" (BioMG2800 and BioMG2801) lectures and laboratory sections for 4 years at Cornell University. During my teaching experience it is always during a one-on-one or small group setting where I can help students the most. Genetics is an abstract concept to many students but with individual attention I can often find the underlying foundation that is missing and address that gap more directly. This has proven to be effective during my teaching experience since I have been able to help struggling students identify how to succeed. It is this process that I love and what makes me want to continue teaching and tutoring. Awards: Graduate Teaching Assistant Fellowship (Cornell 2013-2014) Graduate Research and Teaching Fellowship (Cornell 2012-2013) Teagle Fellowship (Cornell 2012-2013) I have continued improving my teaching skills by seeking additional professional development. I have been awarded multiple competitive teaching fellowships such as those listed above. I have also either participated or been the speaker for multiple teaching symposiums and workshops that have expanded my teaching skills. I am able to help my students with any subject covering the areas of Biology (at any educational level), other Sciences, and foundational mathematics such as algebra and geometry. I can also provide valuable experience with college and graduate school test prep. Please contact me if you have any additional questions.
