Maria Alejandra Hernandez

I have a B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering and I'm currently pursuing an M.Sc. in Applied Cancer Science at the University of Oxford. My studies have allowed me to acquire relevant and foundational knowledge in the field of Biology. I’m passionate about teaching and biology and committed to helping students develop confidence in their knowledge. I have previous experience tutoring high school students in Math and Spanish and have also developed educational materials for middle school learners. My background allows me to connect biology to real-world applications, bringing a unique perspective that connects biology to healthcare, research, and technology while making learning more meaningful and relevant.

You can expect to receive personalized tutoring sessions, where I first will start with a quick review to assess your understanding of the selected topics, followed by an interactive explanation of key concepts using clear explanations, visuals, and real-world examples to make learning more applicable to real life. My teaching style is highly interactive: I encourage students to ask questions, think critically, and actively participate. Lessons can be adapted to focus on specific topics you find challenging, ensuring a personalized learning experience. I cover core biology topics, including genetics, cell biology, and human physiology. My teaching emphasizes not just memorization but also understanding biological processes and their applications. I ensure that lessons align with your school curriculum while also encouraging curiosity beyond the classroom. My goal is not just to help students pass exams but to develop a deeper appreciation for biology and its real-world applications.
