Klaus

University of Munich: PhD in Molecular Biology

Born and raised in Munich, I've always been fascinated by the intricacies of biology. My background in scientific research has equipped me with insights that I eagerly integrate into my teaching. I deeply believe that real-world applications make the complexities of biology come alive for students, and that's what I bring to each tutoring session.

Tutoring Experience

For the past five years, I've dedicated myself to tutoring IB Biology to students in Munich. My time at the Max Planck Institute gave me a front-row seat to cutting-edge research, experiences I regularly share in my lessons. For instance, when discussing genetic engineering, I reference my own research on CRISPR technology. This hands-on perspective not only makes concepts relatable but also inspires students to see the practical impacts of biology. Additionally, I have organized yearly field trips to research labs, ensuring students witness biology in action, further igniting their passion for the subject.

Tutoring Approach

Each student is a unique individual with a distinct learning style. Recognizing this, I tailor my teaching to resonate with their strengths and address their weaknesses. My experience in research has taught me the importance of inquiry-based learning. Instead of merely presenting facts, I challenge my students with questions that provoke critical thinking. By weaving stories from my research days, I aim to make lessons engaging and memorable. It's not just about grades; it's about fostering a lifelong appreciation and understanding of biology.
