Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
My first 20 minute session will be free and will be centered on getting to know each other, what you need help with, and if our styles wil work well together. After that, we can arrange regular sessions, typically 40 minutes each. My sessions are very problem-oriented and teach you how to leverage what you already know to begin to approach new problems. I always give homework, so that you can get more bang for your buck!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Wisconsin. I am an active professor in introductory and advanced biology, with a longstanding research program in evolutionary and developmental genetics.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My rate is $40 for a 40 minute session. This will include access to my bank of You Tube tutorials that match with the topic we are studying. Each session will have a short set of homework problems so that you can get more bang for your buck.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure that your learning style meshes well with that of your isntructor, but be flexible in what you perceive to be your style!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
My advice would be to not think too much about this. Often times we do not know what we do not know! The best way to learn where your limit is is to talk about and do biology withsomeone who know more than you (this is true of any endeavor).
