Erin U.

Private tutor in East Lansing, MI

Education

I am a senior studying microbiology through the departments of microbiology and molecular genetics and biomedical laboratory diagnostics at Michigan State University. In addition to this I have completed a minor in global public health and epidemiology. My current GPA is 3.79.

Experience

I have worked in various fields of microbiology throughout my undergrad giving me a more broad perspective on the subject. I have completed every microbiology course with a 3.5 GPA or higher for every course and feel most comfortable teaching introductory courses for microbiology or medical microbiology. That being said, I personally know all of the microbiology professors and know the tricks to do well in these courses as a result. I recently started tutoring a student in introductory microbiology (MMG 201) and have very much enjoyed coming up with creative ways to teach the material. Additionally, I am currently an undergraduate learning assistant (ULA) for introductory microbiology laboratory (MMG 302) which has helped me hone my teaching ability. When I meet a new student I make sure to adapt my teaching methods to their learning type and always base my teaching on mutual respect of the teacher and student. For microbiology, students find it helpful when I explain more deeply into the reasoning behind why something is, instead of just helping them to memorize facts about the subject. This way there is a better understanding and enhanced retention of the material. I have a very fair with payment method and keep a detailed time sheet that both I and the student sign-off on for continued transparency.

Hobbies

My greatest passion is for microbiology which makes me a very enthusiastic teacher. I enjoy going to conferences and seminar presentations to broaden my knowledge in my discipline. I like to cross-country ski, read, and practice yoga when I have the time. I am also very musically inclined and would like to pick up piano again once I get a room big enough to fit my upright! I am excited to take on another student to help them learn more about the amazing field of microbiology!
