About Dr Scott

TEACHING/TUTORING/ACADEMIC COACHING PHILOSOPHY
I am a passionate, engaging educator with over three decades of expertise in university/college teaching and learning. I am a passionate educator with extensive experience helping students improve their study skills, time management, test/exam writing and intentional learning strategies. My pedagogical approach originates from select exceptional teachers and my own style of working with students. I serve students and encourage receptivity to inquiry-driven, proactive learning by providing clear instruction and support.

My teaching/academic coaching style involves:
- A positive, personalized learning environment;

- Proactive thinking and student participation to engage students. I am sensitive to the diverse ways in which students learn (metacognition);

- Explaining course material, sharing practical examples, illustrative visuals and stories, while inviting student questions;

- Discussions and problem solving to emphasize integrative higher learning;

- Contemporary research to inspire students; and,

- Emphasis of hypothesis testing, data analysis, results presentation and interpretation, and critical evaluation of conclusions.

BACKGROUND AND DEMONSTRATED EXCELLENCE
- Taught 23 different undergraduate university/college courses for biology and environmental science majors and non-majors (First to Fourth Year) and tutored in high school, Advanced Placement and college courses

- Tutored students in a total of seven courses

- Received three university teaching awards

- Tutored students applying to university

- Trained teaching assistants

- 94% mean teaching rating from students at six universities in the US and one in Canada. In 2004, my teaching evaluations from students ranked above institutional and US national averages for comparable private universities

Additional Student Reviews:
PhD Computer Science (2025)
This graduate student was new to studying in Canada. Since English was not her first language, she wanted some coaching/tutoring with thesis editing and defence preparation. Her feedback after her successful PhD defence: “This year was a big turning point for me, finally accomplishing a goal I have been fighting for over four years. I truly need you to know how much you helped me along the way. Your guidance, support and encouragement made a real difference in my journey, and I am very grateful. I feel incredibly blessed, and I could not have reached this milestone without the wisdom, reassurance, and confidence you helped me build along the way.”

Details

RATES RATIONALE
- My rates consider the depth of my teaching/tutoring experience at the university/college and high school levels. Rates may be higher for graduate level tutoring.

- I develop a personalized teaching methodology and learning experience, provide content (supplementing student course material, as needed), curate personalized lesson plans and schedule our weekly tutoring sessions to best meet your learning outcomes.

- Hourly rates also apply to time required for preparation, reviewing/editing student work and quiz/exam preparatory work (as requested by student), creating lesson plans and communications. I maintain a tutoring log to track hours and payments.

- Tutoring may be provided remotely (Superprof’s “Pencil Spaces” or Google Meet/Classroom ecosystem) or in-person.

- An additional $5 travel fee per session applies to students outside City of Barrie limits.

TUTORING SCHEDULE AND PAYMENT
-A tutoring budget and payment schedule are discussed on an individual basis as part of the FREE first lesson.

- I provide each student with a weekly email invoice summarizing the time invested to prepare for and deliver a given week’s tutoring session(s)

- Payment is required within 24 hours of completing a given week’s tutoring session(s) and prior to the following week’s preparation

CANCELLATION POLICY
- If I cancel a tutoring session within 24 hours of when it is scheduled to begin and we are unable to reschedule, your next tutoring session will be free (family emergency or illness excepted). I have never had to reschedule a tutoring session for a reason other than illness.

- If a student cancels a tutoring session within 24 hours of when the session is scheduled to begin (and we are unable to reschedule), or does not attend a session, payment for the cancelled/unattended session is still required that week (family emergency or illness excepted).
