Beth
Biology/Science for Everyone!
My first Biology class, in 6th grade, sealed the deal - this was definitely what I wanted to study. I wasn't naturally good in math and chemistry, so I took extra courses in those subjects in college. I've been teaching since my senior year in college, starting with a course in Human Biology for non-science majors at Brown University. Working on my PhD, I taught General Biology, Human Anatomy (with cadavers), and Vertebrate Anatomy; and also assisted on a 3-week ecology field trip in Mex... Read more

Evan
Dynamic Special Education Teacher
I am a teacher with ten years of experience teaching students with disabilities in grades K-8. I love watching students learn and feel that many students who struggle with learning have not been able to feel successful. A student who feels success is more likely to become motivated and take larger academic risks which results in him or her challenging themselves more. I believe that learning should be fun and hands on and try to plan my lessons in as much of a project based approach or real l... Read more
