About Me

I am an American, 65, who has spent 15 years working in various scientific and biotechnology fields in the USA. My background is in microbiology, but I have done cell culture, various chemical analyses, animal experiments, tissue staining, and assays such as ELISA and RIA. My work history has involved being on interdisciplinary teams, so I have acquired a lot of knowledge of molecular biology, assay development, purification, and regulatory affairs.

I also trained sales and technical staff from 10 countries on the operations of cell culture instrumentation. Part of that work was done in Tokyo, but most was in the USA. I have published scientific papers, posters, manuals, abstracts, lab application reports for marketing, and laboratory protocols. In my university position in Japan, I proofread many papers and posters from science professors and graduate students in many fields.

Education

Master of Science degree, microbiology. University of Wisconsin - LaCrosse (1982)
Bachelor of Science degree, biology. University of Minnesota - Minneapolis (1978)

Experience / Qualifications

Over 20 years of proofreading scientific materials for Japanese science researchers and graduate students.
Published papers, posters, abstracts, manuals, lab protocols, and marketing application reports.

I am Mavi, a physics engineer working at an aerospace company.
I have been teaching private lessons at the primary, secondary, high school, and university preparatory levels for 11 years. I teach mathematics, physics, chemistry, and science. I have a good command of the curricula of IB, IGCSE, American, Hong Kong, and international schools.

Additionally, I hold the position of president at the Astronomy Society, where I foster my students' interest in astronomy and science beyond the lessons. I prepare the learning environment by incorporating experiments and exploration, moving away from rote education. I often bring experimental materials to class, aiming to make learning memorable through hands-on experiments.

As an educational mentor, I approach my students as if they were my siblings, valuing creativity. I have a deep passion for mathematics, physics, and science. I am dedicated to helping students understand and learn because life encompasses both SCIENCE and ART. The more people I can inspire to know, understand, and love mathematics, physics, and chemistry, the more proud I am.

Are you curious about how nature works?

Let's explore together!

Physics and chemistry are the gateway to understanding all sciences, as a science student you will need to be able to sort through the many complex features to become a true student scientist with a critical and curious mind. That's why I designed this course to help students prepare for their exams and the next school year to fill in the gaps they have in math and science.
I would like to inform you that I am a young researcher and I can also help you to acquire basic knowledge of Microsoft Office and other essential software for your career.

I am miss Patricia, I am native, French-speaking (🇫🇷) having as an activity outside of my studies tutoring. I teach the French language (FLE) and the English language (ESL). I also have skills to teach learners to repeat in math (📐📏✏🔢), chemistry (👩‍🔬🧑‍🔬🧪📗), biology 🫁🫀🦷🥼🔬 (and/or natural sciences 🌏🍀🪰🪱🦠 🥽), French (🇫🇷) and English (🇬🇧).
If you are a parent and you are actively looking for a tutor to supervise your children (help with homework or rehearsals), I am at your disposal. Having a great experience that I acquired by babysitting and serving in youth groups, I was able to immerse myself in the psychology of young people and children and I have this ability to touch their difficulties. . Learning is not the army or a chore, in addition to being an excellent tutor for them, I can also be this benevolent company that will allow them to unleash their potential.
My announcement concerns learners of the French-speaking system (French, Belgian, Canadian) and the bilingual system (French, English).
Through the first course, I would highlight my skills mentioned above and if you are won over, we can continue together.

Level concerned by my ad:

- primary level (any subject)

- middle school level (English, French, mathematics), biology (and/or natural sciences), chemistry

- high school level (English, biology)

If you are interested in this ad, comment with a plus, or write me a private message and together let's make your children better at school.

As a dedicated tutor with extensive experience in preparing students for standardized exams such as the SAT, GMAT, and SSAT, I understand the unique challenges that each of these tests presents. My approach is comprehensive and focuses on building a strong foundation in critical areas such as Mathematics, Quantitative Reasoning, Verbal Skills, and Analytical Writing. Each program I develop is tailored to the specific requirements of the exam, ensuring that students are well-prepared and confident on test day.

Having a deep understanding of the test formats and question types allows me to provide personalized strategies that target each student's individual strengths and weaknesses. I believe that every student has a unique learning style, and my goal is to enhance their test-taking skills while improving their time management. By fostering a supportive learning environment, I aim to boost students' confidence and empower them to achieve top scores.

My tutoring sessions incorporate a variety of effective methods, including real exam questions and timed practice tests. This hands-on approach allows students to familiarize themselves with the types of questions they will encounter, making the actual exam feel less daunting. I teach proven techniques for tackling even the most challenging problems, ensuring that students feel equipped to handle any question that comes their way.

One of the key components of my tutoring is helping students develop effective study habits. I provide guidance on creating a structured study plan that maximizes their preparation time and aligns with their personal goals. This structured approach not only keeps students on track but also helps them build a sense of accountability, which is crucial for success.

In addition to academic preparation, I also focus on the psychological aspects of test-taking. Many students experience anxiety leading up to exams, which can affect their performance. I teach relaxation techniques and mental strategies to help manage stress, allowing students to approach their exams with a calm and focused mindset. By addressing both the academic and emotional challenges of test preparation, I equip students with a well-rounded toolkit for success.

Feedback is an essential part of the learning process, and I make it a priority to provide constructive and actionable insights during our sessions. After each practice test, I conduct a thorough review of the results, highlighting areas for improvement while also acknowledging progress. This continuous feedback loop helps students understand their growth and keeps them motivated throughout their preparation.

My commitment to student success goes beyond just teaching content. I aim to inspire a love for learning and self-improvement in each of my students. Many of my former students have gone on to achieve their academic goals, securing places at prestigious universities and programs. Their success stories are a testament to the effectiveness of my tailored approach and the dedication I bring to each tutoring session.

If you're looking to master the SAT, GMAT, or SSAT with confidence, I invite you to book a session now. Together, we will develop a customized learning plan that suits your individual needs, ensuring that you are not only prepared to face the test but also equipped to excel and reach your highest potential. With my guidance and your commitment, we can achieve outstanding results. Let’s embark on this journey to success together!
