    Learn AP Biology and prepare for the AP test with a biomedical scientist

    AP classes can be tough. The pacing, rigor, coursework, and content are all elevated in these classes and can demand a lot from young students. Together, we'll work together to tackle your class and prepare for the AP test. A natural strong sense of empathy assists me in the classroom to help identify exactly what a student is struggling with and how best to approach these hurdles. Every student has their own set of strengths and obstacles; likewise, I work with my students to identify a personalized learning strategy. Sometimes, it's writing a practice test for them ahead of an exam, creating a study schedule, going through class slides or textbook reading together and creating a note page, or even switching roles and asking the student to try their best to explain a concept. In my experience, it all depends on the individual student and their learning style. I can't wait to find out what is best for you!

    About Shahira E.

    Hi there! I am a biomedical scientist on a brief hiatus to spend some time connecting to my passion for teaching. I first began teaching in college as a high school math tutor and then again as project lead, teaching molecular biology and lab techniques to incoming undergraduates. More recently, however, I spent the last year as an online tutor, working with high school AP students, college students, and nursing students in a multitude of disciplines, including Spanish, high school-level math, chemistry, and most topics in biology (genetics, molecular biology, anatomy and physiology, neuroscience, cellular biology, and microbiology). Outside of class, I love to travel to natural destinations. I frequently spend time climbing, practicing yoga, and cooking for friends and family. I'm a huge people person and love meeting new people -- part of why tutoring is so rewarding to me. Looking forward to meeting you too!

    Experience

    Laboratory Manager and Project Scientist

    Nov, 2017 - Nov, 2021

    University of California Santa Barbara

    As a "hybrid" laboratory manager and staff researcher, I had the unique responsibility of both conducting and analyzing my own experiments and maintaining the equipment, reagents, and staff necessary to support such experiments. These more technical duties include hiring and training new technical staff, which complemented my research into the pathogenic mechanisms of positive-stranded RNA viruses.

    Online tutor

    Jan, 2022 - Dec, 2022

    Wyzant

    At Wyzant, I connected with a diversity of students: from high school, to university, to nursing students! I led last-minute exam reviews sessions, as well as regular weekly sessions to help students keep up with new course material.
