About Me

I am an American, 65, who has spent 15 years working in various scientific and biotechnology fields in the USA. My background is in microbiology, but I have done cell culture, various chemical analyses, animal experiments, tissue staining, and assays such as ELISA and RIA. My work history has involved being on interdisciplinary teams, so I have acquired a lot of knowledge of molecular biology, assay development, purification, and regulatory affairs.

I also trained sales and technical staff from 10 countries on the operations of cell culture instrumentation. Part of that work was done in Tokyo, but most was in the USA. I have published scientific papers, posters, manuals, abstracts, lab application reports for marketing, and laboratory protocols. In my university position in Japan, I proofread many papers and posters from science professors and graduate students in many fields.

Education

Master of Science degree, microbiology. University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse (1982)
Bachelor of Science degree, biology. University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (1978)

Experience / Qualifications

Over 20 years of proofreading scientific materials for Japanese science researchers and graduate students.
Published papers, posters, abstracts, manuals, lab protocols, and marketing application reports.

Mathematics, Sciences: Secondary education - private lessons.
Need help with math or science? As a civil engineer, 31, I am happy to help you! Learn at your pace and with many examples to clarify the learning material. I have years of experience in teaching simple and complex material. The lessons run as follows. First of all, together we look for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I continue to work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give them tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once the student has mastered the exercises from the lesson, I give some more challenging exercises to also test on the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his / her test or exam. However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a good relationship with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this lowers the barrier to ask questions and improves the student's learning process. Are you interested? Do not hesitate to contact me! See you soon! Tim
