Education
Hi there! My name is Madeline, and I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from the University of Missouri in Columbia in 2015! I also have a minor in Leadership and Public Service. I completed my master's degree in Curriculum Design from National University in 2019. I received the highest honors' designation with my diploma! I currently hold single-subject (high school level) teaching credentials in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Math and science are where I shine! However, I am also available to read papers and give feedback for other classes. In addition, I am an EXCELLENT standardized test-taker, and can offer valuable tips to help you succeed on your next big exam! Due to the current COVID-19 outbreak, I am available via Zoom, Google Hangouts, FaceTime, or Skype for private tutoring.

I also am sit on the board of an animal welfare nonprofit as the secretary! I love animals and the environment, and I try to bring that love into my classroom. My favorite subject is science, of course! I love all of the disciplines, as they each have their unique connection to the world around us. I love bringing science into the "real world" through meaningful examples, experiments/exploration, and applications to careers.
