I am passionate about biology. I am interested in anything related to biology.... Always dreamt to become either a medical doctor or researcher and with this aim went and worked hard to obtain my doctorate in Neuroscience. After leaving research for personal reasons enter the field of education and loved molding and facilitating the young minds in careers related to biology. Being a researcher in the field of biology I can bring my skills of looking at the biological concepts in an applied way, teach students to think analytically and in the context of the content. Although biology is content loaded with extensive vocabulary which can be challenging to young minds but by employing various approaches or instructional methodologies it is possible for students to overcome this obstacle and yearn to learn more in biology. I was a coach for the science Olympiad and Science Bowl teams and our team made it to the state level multiple times. I have also run several workshops as a executive committee member of the local PASSC organization. Was also selected to be a member of the committee in our state to rewrite the state standards for science. Till date have been invited as a AP Biology reader by the AP board. This allows me to get an insight on how to deliver the AP instruction and how to adapt lessons as and when needed. Teaching and tutoring students is a two-way traffic allowing for me to modulate my lessons to address the needs of students and lead into a engaged productive and meaningful learning. read more
