Discover The Superpowers of Your Immune System Cells

A partir de 22.23 $ /h

In this science class (immunology), students will have an overview of their immune system’ superheroes (cells), where they are and the amazing actions they will take to protect us from pathogens.

Let's promote discussions and critical thinking activities (Q&A) so students will learn how the immune system cells team up to destroy a pathogen. We will go beyond that knowledge and learn what each of us can do to make sure our superheroes get the support they need (hello science of well-being!) The students will then review what they learned by role-playing: assuming the role of immune system cells and having the opportunity to teach each other what they can do to protect their team.

Acerca de mí
Hi! I am Paula. I am a scientist, especially curious about human cells and their troubled interaction with viruses.

As a teacher, I share my passion for immunology by showing students we all have superpowers! Our journey starts by looking into our immune system, extending that knowledge to learn scientific methods to discover the world around us. I am also very interested in learning "how to learn" and effective strategies to learn better.

I am a bachelor in Biomedicine with a master's in Science and Biotechnology. I am a certified ESL teacher and have been working at physical and online schools with 3 to 18-year-old students for +3 years.

It is well proven that we learn when we are relaxed and interacting with the material and others. This is why I bring interactive games so students will develop their critical thinking, also showing them they already have all the skills to become scientists! I can quickly adapt my class to their needs depending on how they interact. I really enjoy it when students are given the opportunity to teach each other, it serves as a review done by and for themselves!

When not in the classroom, I love spending time with my family (my husband and our ginger cat) and admiring the abundance of the ocean. The world is my backyard!
I will see you soon!

Learn, share and get help on human biology topics. Sessions will be designed to fit the needs of the student!

We will be using the Zoom app.

This class: This course is intended for private tutoring on specific human biology topics (ages 12 to 17).
Each meeting, we will discuss the topic and areas that need greater attention. Students will engage in discussions so they can strengthen their critical thinking skills, and they will also be encouraged to review the topic using their own words to build an actual understanding of target concepts (we can do this together!).

I am a science researcher, especially curious about our body's defense system and its troubled interaction with viruses. I am a bachelor in Biomedicine with a master's in Science and Biotechnology. I am also a certified ESL teacher and have been working at physical and online schools for +3 years. My latest hobby is learning "how to learn" and effective strategies to learn better.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:
• Molecular Biology
• Cells
• Genetics
• Nucleic Acids
• Human Physiology
• Immune System

If you are interested in private tutoring, please:
1. Request a time that works for you;
2. Provide the topics or syllabus of interest in advance to maximize my planning and ability to assist;
3. Purpose of the class: will this be an introduction of the material, review, an extension of topics or help with homework?

Biology and Science classes for ESO and Bachillerato

I offer personalized classes in Biology, Natural Sciences, Physics and Chemistry (basic, intermediate and advanced levels), focused on reinforcing content, improving academic performance and fostering critical scientific thinking.
I use up-to-date materials, practical exercises, simple experiments, and digital resources to facilitate understanding of the concepts. Classes can be for ongoing support, exam preparation, or intensive reinforcement.

Are you a foreigner student in Spain and need science classes in English/Spanish? -> I offer personalized classes in Biology, Natural Sciences, Physics, and Chemistry (basic, intermediate, and advanced levels), focused on reinforcing content, improving academic performance, and fostering critical scientific thinking.


👨‍🏫 Methodology
• Clear explanations tailored to each student
• Visual resources (concept maps, diagrams, animations)
• Interactive exercises and continuous reinforcement
• Customized materials according to academic needs
• Progress monitoring and communication with families (if desired)
--------

📘 Courses and classes for ESO (Compulsory Secondary Education)

Natural Sciences (1st–4th ESO)

This course is designed to help you understand the natural world: living things, ecosystems, human anatomy, energy, matter, and chemical changes. Everyday examples, simple experiments, and visual activities are used to reinforce complex concepts.

Biology and Geology (3rd–4th year of ESO)

Focused on cell structure, basic genetics, biodiversity, geology, Earth dynamics, and sustainability. Ideal for students looking to improve their scientific foundation or prepare for the transition to high school.

General reinforcement in Science

For students who need to improve study habits, organization, problem-solving, summarizing, and exam preparation.



📚 Courses and classes for High School

Biology (1st and 2nd year of High School)

Classes focused on official curriculum content: biochemistry, cytology, molecular genetics, human physiology, microbiology, biotechnology, and ecology. Includes specific exam preparation, scientific text analysis, and practice exercises similar to the EBAU (University Access Assessment).

Earth and Environmental Sciences (CTMA)

Study of climate dynamics, natural resources, sustainability, environmental impacts, and land management. Perfect for students seeking to improve their understanding and gain an applied perspective on the environment.

Preparation for the EBAU / University Entrance Exam

Intensive course with:
• Summaries structured by topic
• Official exercises from previous years
• Examination techniques
• Explanation of key models and processes

🔬 Special courses / Optional workshops
• Introduction to modern genetics and biotechnology
• Scientific Method for Students
• Home microbiology workshop (safe, basic level)
• Introduction to bioinformatics (very basic level)
• Support in research work (4th year of ESO and Baccalaureate)
