Thomas D.
Private tutor in Mounds View, MN
Education
I am a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, pursuing an MBS (Master of Biological Sciences) with a focus on ecology. My BS was in biology, with minors in chemistry, astrophysics, physics, and philosophy (a class away from a math minor). I am preparing to apply for a PhD program in astrobiology next fall and am currently working towards writing my Master's thesis.
Experience
I am currently a private tutor, test approved for 26 subjects on another website. Top 1% GRE general test score after finishing by BS. I love math and science and really like helping other people understand it too! Everyone of the subjects I have chosen to tutor I have taken a college level class on (aside from the pre-college and test subjects, 10th grade math, PSAT mathematics, etc.).

Hobbies
I am currently tutoring a home-schooled 12 year old in chemistry, running a small beginner lab with him at his home. I have recently tutored three undergraduate college students, one in linear algebra and differential equations and two in introductory physics. All three had drastic improvements in grades. Science and math are all about problem solving, and grades are mostly based on tests (when you have to problem solve in a pinch). I excel at teaching the proper study and test-taking skills to allow people to succeed.
