I will find out the specific subject areas that you are struggling with, and help break them down for you in an engaging and visual way. Once the specific subject areas are determined I will create a lesson tailored to you and your learning style. For example, I can help with visual diagrams, graphics, and real-life examples of the area of study. I will also find resources that I can leave you with, and you can call upon in your own time to help ingrain that tricky topic into your mind.

I will aim to create a friendly and informal-yet-professional dynamic, so that you hopefully feel happy and comfortable with your learning experience.

During my academic experience I had one-to-one tutoring, and for me it was incredibly successful because I was able to tailor the lessons to my own needs, and I had a friendly dynamic with my tutor which made me feel comfortable asking all kinds of questions. I know what it’s like to be on the “student side of the table” and gain success from it. I hope to replicate those dynamics for you.

From my own academic experience with biology and the life sciences, I have been able to build a career as a research scientist, using many of the skills, practical techniques, and academia that I gained during my studies. I chose to pursue plant biology, and have been able to work alongside some of the best scientists in the world finding environmentally friendly plant protection products and practices for use in horticulture. I can help you lay the foundations for success too.
