Information About Rebecca:


Personal Description:

I left Scotland in high school to go study in the states. I earned my MSc in Biology from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth with a 4.0 GPA (1st with Hons equivalent). Before that, I earned an Honours BA in Marine Science in Florida. I have always loved science or math subjects and even while studying myself, I always learned best by teaching to others, so I cultivated my tutoring skills from a young age.



Teaching Experience:

I taught an Introduction to Biology course to a class of 20 undergraduate university students for 3 years. During a gap-year in South Korea, I worked full-time as a teacher to young children, ages 4-14. I also have experience tutoring students since 2014 from high school to adult learners in a variety of subjects; biology, marine science, algebra, pre-calculus, bio-statistics, and test prep. In the last 6 months, I have mostly tutored students preparing for their GCSE and A-Level Biology exams.



Tutoring Approach:

All of my students have commented that my positive and friendly attitude makes asking questions easy. I'm very sensitive to different learning styles and always alter my teaching style to fit each student's needs. I've been told that I explain material in an easy-to-understand way for students, helping them master difficult concepts. I like working through material in a very interactive manner; I do not just sit and lecture endlessly to students. Rather, I always keep lessons dynamic and interesting to aid in learning and retention. My students have reported consistently raising their class performance and/or test scores as a result of lessons with me.
