About Dr Scott

TEACHING/TUTORING PHILOSOPHY
I am a passionate, engaging educator with over three decades of expertise in university/college teaching, research and environmental consulting who loves teaching and learning. I have experience in scientific communication excellence (written, oral), am an international speaker and professional technical writer. I have been awarded dozens of research grants and scholarships. My pedagogical approach originates from select exceptional teachers and my own style of working with students.

I serve students and encourage receptivity to inquiry-driven, proactive learning by providing clear instruction and support. When we do not incorporate the “human side” of learning in the stories we tell our students, such as how we became excited about academia, the disappointments surmounted and the exhilaration of discovery, we deny our students the opportunity to view themselves as connected with their education. I have presented at 22 international academic conferences and one mining industry trade show, and have been awarded 34 research grants and academic scholarships totaling over $560,000 (1994-2018).

My teaching style involves:
- A positive, personalized learning environment; and,

- Proactive thinking and student participation to engage students, while being sensitive to the diverse ways in which students learn (metacognition).

BACKGROUND AND DEMONSTRATED TEACHING/TUTORING EXCELLENCE
- Taught 23 different undergraduate university/college courses for biology and environmental science majors and non-majors (First to Fourth Year) and tutored in high school and college-level biology

- Tutored students in four courses

- Received three university teaching awards

- 19 peer-reviewed publications in scientific journals, including Science

- 94% mean teaching rating from students at six universities in the US and one in Canada. In 2004, my teaching evaluations from students ranked above institutional and US national averages for comparable private universities

Details

RATES RATIONALE
- My rates consider the depth of my teaching/tutoring experience at the university/college and high school levels. Rates may be higher for graduate level tutoring.

- I develop a personalized teaching methodology and learning experience, provide content (supplementing student course material, as needed), curate personalized lesson plans and schedule our weekly tutoring sessions to best meet your learning outcomes.

- Hourly rates also apply to time required for preparation, reviewing/editing student work and quiz/exam preparatory work (as requested by student), creating lesson plans and communications. I maintain a tutoring log to track hours and payments.

- Tutoring may be provided remotely (Superprof’s “Pencil Spaces” or Google Meet/Classroom ecosystem) or in-person.

- An additional $5 travel fee per session applies to students outside City of Barrie limits.

TUTORING SCHEDULE AND PAYMENT
-A tutoring budget and payment schedule are discussed on an individual basis as part of the FREE first lesson.

- I provide each student with a weekly email invoice summarizing the time invested to prepare for and deliver a given week’s tutoring session(s).

- Payment is required within 24 hours of completing a given week’s tutoring session(s) and prior to the following week’s preparation.

CANCELLATION POLICY
- If I cancel a tutoring session within 24 hours of when it is scheduled to begin and we are unable to reschedule, your next tutoring session will be free (family emergency or illness excepted). I have never had to reschedule a tutoring session for a reason other than illness.

- If a student cancels a tutoring session within 24 hours of when the session is scheduled to begin (and we are unable to reschedule), or does not attend a session, payment for the cancelled/unattended session is still required that week (family emergency or illness excepted).
