About Elias

Elias is an ecologist who still teaches like someone who has been outside. Diagrams get narrated, not memorized. He is the tutor for the student who can recite a definition and still cannot say what the picture means.

Biology

How a lesson goes

  1. Retell the diagram as a story before any flashcards come out

  2. Tie the vocabulary to the process, not the other way around

  3. Lab conclusions must answer the question the experiment asked
