Series Details

About

Throughout our sessions, we will become cytologists, geneticists, and clinical researchers as we study the building blocks of all life: cells! Our series is divided into three units: Cell Structure & Function, Cellular Energetics, and Cell Communication. Our content is derived from Units 2, 3, and 4 of AP Biology. I hope this series provides us with a broader knowledge of cell operations and a new appreciation for cell biology!

Tutor Qualifications

Throughout high school, I have taken courses in General Biology, Genetics & Nutrition, and Health & Risk Assessment. I have completed the 4 courses of the PLTW Biomedical Science program. I am currently an AP Biology student.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Our content builds on previous sessions, so do your best to make each one. If you miss a session, feel free to request some of the lesson materials from me.
