About

Welcome to Biology 101!
﻿
This series will be treated like and introduction to semi-advanced biology, learning and then going past the high school level to understand key biological concepts
﻿
This series is useful for anyone currently enrolled in high school biology looking to add some extra knowledge to strengthen their grades or anyone who just wants to learn something new
﻿
Let me know what times work best for you and I will do my best to accommodate
﻿
I will do my best to make this as fun and easy to understand as possible
﻿
These sessions will be run less like a rigidly structured school lesson and more like a learning environment where we will be able to focus on what you want
﻿
This series will focus on using the Campbell Biology Textbook 12th edition (but other editions are fine and having this book is most definitely not required)
﻿
I look forward to learning with you all!

Hi! I am Aditya, a high school student in Illinois. I like tutoring and learning STEM here at schoolhouse, because that is what I am most passionate about. I have always found learning and helping others learn to be very satisfying, especially those "aha moments". Joining the SHW community as a tutor has very fun experience so far. I hope to see you you guys in my future sessions! :)
