At San Francisco State University, I did undergraduate research studying both the biology and ecology of an invasive species of tunicate. This research helped to improve my understanding of marine ec... ological systems. I am currently a student at Arizona State University, where I am earning my Bachelors of Science in Conservation Biology and Ecology. I have taken courses directly related to ecological systems, including Fundamentals of Ecology and Conservation of Biodiversity. Through the combination of both field experience and practical understanding of ecology, I can support students in connecting in-class material to real-world ecological systems. Additionally, my approach to tutoring is to provide individualized lessons that are best suited to each student's style of learning. read more

Hello! My name is Taylor Gillis and I am currently living in Clovis, California. In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano, going out hiking, and taking trips out to the coast. I am currently earni... ng my B.S. degree in Conservation Biology and Ecology from Arizona State University. I am incredibly passionate about long-term preservation and protection of wildlife, and I am particularly passionate about marine wildlife conservation. I have approximately three years of tutoring experience, and have supported students in their learning of math, English language, chemistry, and biology. I believe that successful learning is the result of a combination of supporting students through individualized lessons, and helping students to develop confidence in their academic abilities. Additionally, I can empathize with and understand some of the challenges students may face, and in turn can help support students in overcoming those challenges.read more
