I have experience tutoring in-class for high school-level Earth and Space Science (CA state curriculum). Topics covered relating to space included basic principles of physics and chemistry, the Big Ba... ng Theory, stars and stellar evolution, our Sun, and the planets. Topics covered relating to Earth included plate tectonics, water and nutrient cycling, evolution and Earth's geologic timeline, climate science, natural resource utilization and green alternatives, and human impact on Earth's systems. Understanding the fundamentals of our planet and our solar system's history, function, and future is important for students to be familiar with as we move into a new era of green innovation and climate-related conflict. I have extensive knowledge of terrestrial and climate processes, reflected by my degree in Conservation and Resource Studies from UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources. read more

Hey, I'm Ava! I am a recent first-generation college grad from UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources and an environmental science educator. I live with my family and cats in sunny San Diego, CA. ... I'm currently tutoring in science, math, essay writing, and AP Gov, with my specialty being in environmental science and any of its subtopics. I have experience tutoring many subjects at elementary, middle, and high school levels, both online and in-person, along with plenty of other experience working with kids. I currently work as an environmental stewardship teacher at a local outdoor education nonprofit, and also as an education associate for Sea Life Aquarium. I've also previously worked for an in-person tutoring agency that allowed me to help teachers during class and assist kids with their homework in an after-school program. Education is so important, and fostering a student's value for and understanding of what they're learning is my ultimate goal, regardless of age or subject. If you have any questions for me please reach out! I'm more than happy to collaborate with students or parents on anything. I am flexible and adaptive and would love to make something work out to be able to help a student in need. I also have experience tutoring students with differing learning needs, including a pretty extensive history with students with ADHD or autism.read more
