About
As a retired Physical Therapist, I love talking anything "human body." Anatomy & Physiology are my specialties...bones, muscles, nerves, the brain, cardiovascular system, etc., I love helping people understand how the body works! I have a passion to see students get excited about learning sciences having to do with the human body in preparation for future careers in medical or health related fields. I have been tutoring for about 2 years and use a number of ways to help students learn depending on what works best for them. You can learn more about my credentials at http://linkedin.com/in/anne-millikan-53a792122
I really enjoy sharing knowledge, teaching by making concepts come alive. I use my clinical background as a way to help students understand the material in a more real life way. I love seeing students reach that moment of "ah ha", when they finally get it!
