Présentation

Hi to all students looking to learn English or maths/science!

I am a UK-born and raised, biomedical science graduate currently living in Sweden. I teach science and mathematics students of all ages. As a side project for my science students I created a fun "gruesome biology" lesson plan (focusing on viruses/bacteria/parasites) which has encouraged students to develop a greater interest in science.

In the past I tutored English literature, mechanical mathematics, biology and physics to children between the ages of 11 and 16, raising their grades by a minimum of two levels from an average C to an A in most cases. I have also tutored children under 11 and provided mentoring for other students over 18.

I believe with the right kind of teaching process, any student is capable of meeting and exceeding their learning expectations, therefore I aim to tailor my teaching methods to cater to individuals using study methods that work best on a case-by-case basis.

Academically I hold two bachelor degrees, one in public relations (BA) which was accredited by the Institute of Public Relations in England, the second a bachelor of science in biomedicine (BSc), completed in Sweden. I also have a Masters of Science in Integrated Health Science (MSc).

On the side, I have completed courses within the renewable energy sector including wind power, solar energy and impacts of climate change. In addition I took courses relating to behavioural change and motivation. I am also trained in dance with classical ballet my specialty.

My methodology is to teach each student based on their own preferential learning styles. Humour, stimulating discussion and structured/sequential learning pathways are how I would best describe this

The SAT exam is one of the major steps you need to go through in your life; it's a step that is going to determine your college, your university, and your future as a whole. As with a lot of things in life, it can be a hard step, and there is no shame in asking for help. Here comes my role: I will help you overcome your problems and your difficulties. My job here is to help you achieve your desired results and unlock your potential. Simply put, we will go through every lesson, every unit, and every chapter. We will understand the concept of each lesson, with clear examples to follow. After each one, you will be tested, and after finishing your program, you will be tested on it. That's my plan for my students, so if you are interested, you can easily contact me.

I offer private tutoring at home for all levels, from primary school to high school. A typical session consists of the following steps:

-Reviewing the student's course materials, with answers to any questions.
-Correction of teacher's exercises or specific exercises depending on the student's difficulties.
-Preparation for possible student assessments using formative assessments that I have developed, targeting the student's difficulties.

Everything is tailored to each student using fun and engaging methods. Learning while having fun is not impossible!

I hold a Doctorate in Pharmacy and 2 Masters degrees from the University of Paris V René-Descartes.
Since the beginning of my higher education, and since I established myself as a freelancer after 10 years of managerial career in the pharmaceutical industry, I have been used to regularly giving private lessons to pupils and students of all levels, Primary, Secondary and Higher, supporting them until they pass their exams.
The main disciplines in which I support students are essentially scientific.
The perspectives provided are transdisciplinary.

The current education system not only stifles the creativity of our youth, but also their curiosity to discover the world. As a passionate biochemist, my goal is to empower students to learn how to learn, to love studying without forcing them, while simultaneously nurturing their prodigies in the life and earth sciences. I am the founder of a revolutionary method based on this question: What would your life be like if you took pleasure in creating, in realizing your projects, in creating your art? If it were something you looked forward to, not something you avoided or postponed, but something you eagerly anticipated, and if you did it not out of obligation, but out of desire, as easily as playing video games? And if it were addictive? Imagine all that you could accomplish!
Having studied neuroscience, my method has proven to many young people to burn away this student identity, and replace it with that of a researcher at heart.

Explanation of the central dogma: from DNA to protein, from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. DNA repair mechanisms. Understanding and re-explaining everything. I present the cell, its characteristics, its contents, the reading of the molecular frame of reference (ORF), transcription, translation, and the elements involved in these two processes. And I answer more specific questions if the student has read scientific articles.

As a qualified physician, I offer tutoring in biology, chemistry, biochemistry, anatomy, physiology and medical sciences for pupils, students and adults.

My goal is to make complex concepts simple, logical, and easy to remember. I help students understand the mechanisms rather than memorizing them, using a clear, structured method adapted to each student's level.

I can tutor high school students, students preparing for exams, as well as students in medicine, nursing, pharmacy, biology, or other health-related fields. Tutoring can cover topics such as understanding course material, exam preparation, problem-solving, study methods, or intensive review.

Thanks to my medical training, I explain scientific topics with concrete and clinical examples, which helps to better understand human biology, diseases, physiological mechanisms and the basics of chemistry/biology applied to health.

Courses can be given in French, English or Arabic depending on the student's needs.
