Private tutor in Reston, VA
Education
B.S. Biology, Duke University 2006; graduation with distinction. PhD, Applied Marine Physics, University of Miami; 2015. At Duke, I completed all of the pre-med courses including chemistry, physics, calculus, biology, etc. After undergrad, I worked as a laboratory manager for 3 years at UC Berkeley and UMASS Amherst. During this time I began to conduct my own original scientific research, and then I began the process of applying to graduate school. My PhD focus was on marine bioacoustics - understanding how and why ocean animals communicate using sound.
Experience
Hi! I had 3 years of SAT prep and other tutoring experience while I lived in Miami and was working on my PhD. I love teaching and working with kids. Since I just started a new federal job, I am not doing much teaching anymore, so I would like to do it through tutoring instead. I'm also a published author (with 14 peer-reviewed publications) and a strong proponent of science communication through digital media. I have specialized in research on acoustic communication in the ocean, and my current position is as a Bioacoustician at the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. You can find more info about me (including my full resume) here: http://ericastaaterman.com And watch my TED talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_MzDMFFag8 I'd be happy to provide references from the tutoring company and families I worked with in Miami.
