About the store

I was inspired as a college science education student by the following quote from Confucius: "I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." I have spent my career trying to make science as engaging as possible. I have professionally taught students ranging from Pre-K through college senior, and all academic subjects through high school GED preparation. Middle school science: 11 years High school biology and physical science: 2 years GED preparation: 7 years College biology (adjunct): 17 years My first love is biology, but science in general is awesome! My goal is to make science education as fun and engaging as possible, so my students leave me wanting to learn more.

Experience

Teaching style

My teaching style is about being fun and approachable as a person and about providing students with as much interesting content and engaging activities as possible. As a scientist, I have to have order as well. Kids learn quickly to stay in control. If they are out of control, we can't safely DO science. The most important thing for me when I was a student was my relationship with the teacher. If I liked the teacher, I would do my best for them. Second, I was interested in what I got to DO. I gravitated toward science because it was more about doing and less about hearing. Science was also HARD, and I was attracted to things that required me to try harder than usual.
