Instructor: Jamye Carr I have 20 years of experience in public school teaching, specializing in Biology, Chemistry, Aquatic Science, and Astronomy. My teaching style incorporates student guided inquiry based learning, Socratic instruction, and adaptive lessons. In addition to my work in public schools I have worked as a private tutor for pre-med, pre-law and business school test prep company, The Princeton Review, as well as working as their Assistant Director for several years. I am also involved in two major nonprofits, and have worked with them in the capacity of Program Director and Education Director. My strengths involve my ability to work with a diverse population of students, from at risk teenagers to struggling adults. My passion is to make the world a better place, to increase the ability of students to manage their own problems, to solve through critical thinking skills, and to gather and process information skillfully.
