Tutoring Experience

Over the past 9 years, I've been combining my research background with my role as an IB Biology tutor. I initiated my journey by assisting fellow researchers in understanding complex biological concepts, which fueled my passion for teaching. Eventually, I took up roles at esteemed academies in Milan, teaching biology to IB and IGCSE students. With my guidance, many have improved their understanding and grades, with some pursuing biology in top universities. The shift from the lab to the classroom was smooth, as I could enrich my teachings with real-world examples.

Tutoring Approach

Teaching is more than just imparting knowledge; it's about igniting the flame of curiosity. I begin by understanding a student’s individual needs and aspirations. From there, I curate tailored lesson plans, integrating my research anecdotes to clarify concepts. Encouraging questions and fostering a collaborative environment is paramount. The two-way dialogue ensures that no query goes unanswered. Every session ends with a brief recap, and I also provide additional resources and tools, empowering students to explore beyond the curriculum.
