Course in Biology, Neuroscience, Psychology, Animal Behavior for those who need extra help for school, admissions exams, uni

From 30 € /h

Hello! I am currently a comparative neuroscience PhD student, and can offer tutoring in topics ranging from psychology, neuroscience, biology, behavioral sciences, to ecology, and anything related to those topic areas. I completed a master's in Environmental Biology - Behavioral Biology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands, and a bachelor's in Ecology and Evolutionary biology, with a minor in psychology/neuroscience. I have been accepted to medical and veterinary school, and after my PhD will decide which clinical path I will take. I can help with writing papers for biology/psychology, studying the material, studying for admissions exams (GRE, AP exams, honors material, etc.), among other things. Let me know what you need, and hopefully we can figure something out.

About Me

Hello! I'm Alex, a 28 year-old PhD student in neuroscience/veterinary medicine currently in the US, though I did my master's in the Netherlands and spent around 5 years abroad. I have been teaching since high school, first piano for young children, then a teaching assistant in university and my PhD as well as a running coach for young girls, and recently have been tutoring students of all ages (mainly biology, neuroscience/psychology, thesis writing) via Apprentus and Varsity Tutors. I plan on being a veterinary clinician scientist eventually, where I will teach alongside my clinical work and research. As a PhD student, I am very comfortable offering lessons in academic writing, alongside academic topics. I know you want a trustworthy and knowledgeable teacher, so please reach out to me if you have any further questions, or want to know more about me. I'm looking forward to working together!

Course for those who want to perfect their English

30 € /h

Hello! This course is aimed for those who already have a grasp on English, but would like to perfect their reading and writing abilities. I also can teach students for admissions exams in the US (such as SAT, GRE, MCAT) and in the UK (UCAT), especially focusing on the verbal reasoning abilities and writing. I am originally from the US, English being my native language, and although a biology student myself, have taken many reading and writing classes throughout my life, scoring well on admissions exams, and am willing to share my knowledge with you. Let me know what help you need, and we can figure something out.

Ukrainian language lessons for those wishing to learn!

20 € /h

Hello! I'm Alex and I was born and raised in the US, but my ancestry is Ukrainian. My parents sent me to Ukrainian school on Saturdays throughout my childhood, where I learned the language, grammar, writing, geography, history, and culture of Ukraine. I am well-versed in this language, and able to offer language learning classes to anyone in need of help! Let me know what level you are and what you need, and we can figure something out.

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!

Need help with maths or biology?
As a biomedical scientist with a PhD in Medicine and Health Sciences, I enjoy helping students of all ages to better understand the material and learn with greater confidence. We work at your own pace and in a way that suits your learning style.

How does a lesson work?
In the first session, we identify the main difficulties together. From there, we build up step by step. I encourage questions and provide practical tips and strategies to make studying more effective.

We work through exercises together, discuss examples, and then move on to more challenging problems to deepen understanding. This approach ensures you’re well prepared for your tests and exams.

A positive learning experience
Learning should be enjoyable. With a patient, motivating and clear approach, I create a relaxed environment where it’s okay to make mistakes, and no question is too much to ask — because that’s how real learning happens.

Interested?
Feel free to get in touch for more information or to arrange your first lesson. I’ll be happy to help you move forward!

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.

With an utmost passion to the subjects taught I believe, that a clear structure to the lesson as well as personal interest in the taught area are key components of success!
Yes, good grades are not an indicator of knowledge, however they do allow for a more comfortable introduction into the higher education and career! I am convinced, that writing exams and successfully passing in-class assessment tests is a skill, that can be trained - therefore I focus strongly not only on thorough explanation of material, but also on application of the learned information into the context of exams.
