    About Kari J.

    What can I say... I Love Biology and History. These two subjects have been my favorite as a student, taking variations of each from general to AP to collegiate. While I ultimately majored and made a career in biology, I still study and improve my grasp of historical events. With me you will get someone who simplifies the most complex biological terms and systems and goes beyond the mere facts and dates found in one's history book. I will show you how to master biology and history through and beyond your classrooms.
