Valerie J.

Private tutor in Arvada, CO

Education

I graduated from College of the Canyons with an Associate's Degree in Biological and Physical Sciences in 2011 (GPA: 3.8). I graduated Magna Cum Laude from California State University, Chico with a Bachelor's Degree in Natural Resource Management in 2013 (GPA: 3.7). I have always excelled in Science subjects throughout my education, and I would love to help others be successful in science as well.

Experience

I want to be a tutor because I love helping students make a relevant connection between what they learn in the classroom and their personal everyday life. I tutored peers and classmates throughout high school and college and have professionally taught science to students grades K-10 in various educational settings for three years. In 2014, I passed the Praxis II Secondary Science Content Knowledge Exam. I have taken and passed 3 AP tests (including AP Environmental Science), so I am familiar with the AP system. I have taken these courses at a college level: Ecology, Zoology, Cellular/Molecular Biology, Natural Resource Management, Geology, Physical Science, Astronomy, Behavior Science (psychology/sociology), Science of Food (Agriculture) and Environmental Science.

Hobbies

I enjoy doing outdoor recreation activities like hiking and camping, but I also enjoy relaxing on the couch with a good book. I enjoy playing board games with friends as much as I enjoy doing jigsaw puzzles alone while jamming out to my Pandora stations. I love playing with puppies (and all animals, really). And I really enjoy going to the movie theater, but I am very picky about what type of movie I like (mostly indie movies that depict real life situations). I'm pretty easy-going and will try anything one time.
