Tutoring Experience

Over the past 7 years, I have been offering specialized tuition in IB Biology, combining traditional teaching with insights from my research endeavors. I have had the privilege to guide students from various international schools in Rotterdam and beyond. My students have often praised my ability to bring textbook concepts to life, courtesy of my real-world research experiences. Many of them have pursued further studies in biological sciences, attributing their passion and curiosity to our interactive sessions.

Tutoring Approach

Biology, in my eyes, is not just a subject but a narrative of life. In my sessions, I strive to weave stories from my research days, allowing students to appreciate the practical implications of what they learn. We explore beyond textbooks, diving into contemporary research articles and discussing recent scientific breakthroughs. I believe this approach not only prepares them for exams but fosters a lasting appreciation for the field. While theoretical understanding is crucial, I equally emphasize honing analytical skills, enabling students to interpret and design experiments, just as I did during my research days. Every student's curiosity is a seed waiting to sprout, and I aim to be the water and sunlight that facilitates its growth.
