About Wendy

I enjoy helping students learn about different biology concepts. I strive to teach students in a memorable way that makes sense to them so that they retain the information not only for exams but long after.

I have had former student email me to say thanks for preparing them for their course work even in medical school. They still remember what I taught them, giving them an upper hand compared to their fellow classmates.

If you're struggling to understand biology concepts, give me a chance to teach them to you. All you have to do is want to learn!

I truly enjoy watching the smile that spreads across the face of my students after they "get it." The experience for me is fulfillment while the experience for my students is accomplishment and pride. I feel a great sense of responsibility to my students. People are bombarded by science-related material every day, whether they realize it or not. I want my non-majors to have a sense of science literacy throughout their lives and my pre-med students to shine in medical school. It makes me exceptionally proud when they write to me afterwards to share their successes with me!

I started teaching as an undergraduate teaching assistant, then as a graduate student teaching assistant. As a researcher, I trained students working in our lab how to do the techniques, but also the biology concepts involved. Now I'm a professor teaching mostly pre-med students at one university while also teaching non-science majors at another university.



I have a B.S. in biology, an M.S. in botany, 25 years of molecular biology research experience, and a Ph.D in Instructional Leadership and Academic Curriculum with an emphasis in science education. I'm currently a college professor teaching Intro biology to non-science majors online and genetics lecture and lab to pre-med students in the classroom.

First, I ask them how they study currently. Then we look at why they're struggling. Once I identify strengths and weaknesses, we try some different approaches to improve on the strengths, reducing the weaknesses, and finding new ways to learn. 



Some middle school and high school students, but primarily non-science undergraduate students, and pre-med undergraduate students.



Find a teacher who you are comfortable with, who lifts you up, and tailors instruction to your learning style. Find a teacher who makes you feel proud of yourself and your improvements.



I met with a student who was struggling with her genetics exams, making exam grades in the 60's. After we worked together for about an hour figuring out how to improve her understanding of the material, how to study differently, and how to read the questions on her exams, she scored an 82 on her next exam. I was so proud of much she improved! 

I often have students, who aren't in my class, ask me if I would explain things to them because their friend who is taking my class currently or took my class in the past suggested they reach out to me. My response is always, "absolutely!"



A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Students should think through what goals they want to accomplish, and not be afraid to aim high. Having a goal will help your teacher guide you towards accomplishment.
