Tutoring: Every morning (except Tuesdays) from 6:45-7:10 am and Lunch Tutorials (Monday, Wednesday, & Friday during B Lunch).
When meetings come up, I will post on my whiteboard when I am unavailble for tutorials.
Conference Time: 10:00 – 10:45 a.m. Available for after school conferences if needed (2:40-3:20).
Weekly Reminder: Students are to study some everyday.
Biology can be a challenging course, but with effort you can be successful and love biology!
I hope that when this year is over you will understand how exciting the world can be when looked at through the eyes of a scientist.
