I have always had a passion for biology, and I have experience in both the classroom and in undergraduate field work. I have taken courses at San Francisco State University where I studied Marine Bio... logy and Limnology, with the courses being Biology of Fishes and Biology of Algae. In reference to my field work, I have experience working in a wet lab in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I learned and practiced the skills needed in a research setting. In the field, I got first-hand experience in research techniques used in monitoring species of sea stars and tunicates. I am currently in my final year at Arizona State University, where I will be earning my Bachelors of Science in Conservation Biology and Ecology. Courses I have taken include Conservation of Biodiversity, General Biology I and II, and Genetics, and I have received a grade of A in each course. Alongside my studies, I am also passionate about tutoring and supporting students in their learning through individualized approaches that suit each student's unique learning style.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
