Molecular and Cellular Biology Courses | Biotechnology Degree | Experience in Edinburgh and UC Berkeley

From 31.75 $ /h

Each student has their own way of understanding and reasoning; my role is to identify the one that will allow them to progress effectively.

During my studies, I had the opportunity to mentor a blind student in her biology courses for a year. This experience convinced me that effective teaching relies primarily on the teacher's ability to adapt to their student, and not the other way around.

The first session is devoted to an educational assessment:

* assessment of the student's level in the chosen subjects;
* identification of its strengths, its difficulties and its way of approaching scientific problems;
* discussion on its objectives in order to develop a personalized work program, presented to the student and, if necessary, to his or her parents or legal representative.

I offer courses from middle school up to Bac+5 level in cell and molecular biology as well as in biotechnology, and up to Bac+3 level in biochemistry, enzymology and biostatistics.

About Me

I’m Ilann, a recent Master’s graduate in Biotechnology with honours. My academic path has led me to research experiences at the University of Edinburgh, where I worked in epigenetics, and later at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), where I focused on RNA neurobiology.

Beyond my scientific background, I genuinely enjoy teaching and helping students build confidence. During one academic year, I supported a blind student in her biology courses. This experience had a strong impact on me and taught me that there is no single universal way to teach: every student has their own way of understanding, reasoning and learning.

I believe we remember best what sparks our curiosity. My goal is therefore not only to help students pass exams, but also to help them understand concepts deeply, so they can use them with confidence in different contexts.

The first lesson is dedicated to a pedagogical assessment: we identify your current level, your goals and the way you approach scientific problems. Based on this, I build a personalised learning plan adapted to your pace.

I teach biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, enzymology and biostatistics, from secondary school to university level depending on the subject. I can also help students with reading scientific papers, exam preparation, study methods and the development of scientific reasoning.

If you are looking for a patient, demanding and passionate tutor, I would be very happy to support you in your progress.
