About Me

Hi!
I‘m a 1st year PhD student at The Francis Crick Institute in London, previously having graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Oxford and an MSc from Imperial College London - both in biomedical sciences. My PhD research is focused on immunology and cancer, a field which I've also pursued in a range of labs in the UK and abroad.

I've been tutoring since high school, gradually moving from secondary school science and English lessons to tutoring undergraduate and postgraduate students, and English as a foreign language. For several years I've now also worked with an agency for academic applications tutoring - helping people of all age ranges successfully apply to the university or job of their dreams. Through this experience, I have developed a strong skillset in communicating complex ideas, adapting teaching strategies to each individual student, inciting motivation for science, and text editing anything from a personal statement to a master's dissertation.

I'm a German and English native speaker, but can communicate in Dutch if necessary!

I love learning and have always done my best to pass this on to any person I work with - by whichever strategy is necessary to get through to them.

Please don‘t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about me, my qualifications, my teaching style, or my availabilities!

English Crash Course for essay-writing, personal statements (with focus on Oxbridge) and test prep for IELTS, Cambridge, etc.

35 € /h

A high-level English writing crash course, especially focused on creating well-rounded essays and other similar texts that need to be written for A level exams, proficiency tests such as IELTS and Cambridge or university application personal statements. Can additionally give support for Oxbridge and other Top 10 university personal statements due to my own experience!

UK University Applications (Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial, etc.)

35 € /h

Oxford and Cambridge are the UK’s most elite universities and, especially for a European student, far easier to reach with the proper support. This is what I am here to provide: help writing an ideal personal statement fit for a future Oxbridge offer holder, aid with UCAS, interview practice and advice on any possible question you could have. As a European Oxford student myself, I know the challenges and hardships of an Oxbridge application and aim to make the entire process easier for you. This will not only better your chances of securing an offer, but also make this already stressful time a bit less confusing.

Need help with geography, biology, or chemistry? As a 33-year-old civil engineer, I'm happy to help! I'll learn at your own pace, using plenty of examples to illustrate the material. I have years of experience teaching both simple and complex subjects.

The lessons run as follows. First, we look together for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once practiced from the lesson, I mastered challenging exercises to also test the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his/her exam test.

However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a bond with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this to solve and improve the problems.

Are you interested? Don't hesitate to receive me!
Please come!

I can offer help in courses of Chemistry and Biology. This applies to all levels from High School, A-levels, IB up to university courses. I am a graduate of the Maastricht Science Programme from the University of Maastricht.
I believe that subjects such as biology or chemistry should be understood and not just memorized and I have worked hard as a tutor in MSP to convey this message to my students as well. I am excited for this new endeavor and I am eager to help you achieve your goals.

For any questions do not hesitate to contact me.

I'd like to start by greeting everyone who is reading this and then briefly discuss the teachings I'm providing. Going to medical school is a major step, and while becoming a doctor may have been a big dream of yours, things unfortunately didn't turn out the way you had hoped. You didn't receive what you eagerly want following your bac. I'm here to tell you that earning your bac is just the first step on a longer journey. You have another opportunity to fulfill your lifelong ambitions. What role do I play in this? as someone who has been in your position and ultimately obtained what I want. We will have a customized plan that fulfills your needs, we will correct any unsuccessful methods and build new ones, and I will lead you through the program at every stage.

I have worked for 6 years now with kids from international schools helping them in subjects such as maths and biology.

We always find the best suiting way to approach the subject together; I have indeed a few teaching methods that can be adapted to a kids' needs, I believe every kid needs a different method to fully understand the subject.

I provide 2 types of lessons that represent 2 phases:
1. THEORY - Understanding the theory repeating together each unit.
2. PAST PAPERS - Going through past papers to "simulate" a potential exam.

Dividing the process in 2 phases has proven really effective in succeeding not only during the year but also at the final exams.

I am a physician with strong academic and clinical expertise in **general medicine, surgery, emergency medicine**, and medical examination preparation. I am also a **holder of Molecular Medicine**, with advanced academic strength in foundational biomedical sciences, including **biology, molecular biology, biochemistry, enzymology, physiology, and genetics**. This background allows me to teach medicine from a deep mechanistic perspective, linking molecular pathways directly to clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management.

My teaching focuses on transforming complex medical topics into structured, high-yield frameworks that students can confidently apply during clinical rotations and licensing examinations.

My approach is systematic, analytical, and evidence-based. I emphasize:

* Understanding disease from the molecular and cellular level upward
* Integration of biochemistry, physiology, and genetics into clinical reasoning
* Stepwise construction of differential diagnoses
* Precise interpretation of laboratory and imaging findings
* Evidence-based management strategies aligned with international standards
* Recognition of high-yield patterns frequently tested in licensing examinations

I am particularly experienced in teaching integrated clinical medicine alongside foundational sciences, ensuring that students do not memorize isolated facts but instead develop structured medical thinking.

Students working with me will gain:

* Strong clinical reasoning and analytical skills
* Deep conceptual mastery of molecular and physiological mechanisms
* Confidence in approaching complex case-based questions
* Efficient examination strategies and time management skills
* A structured framework for rapid revision and long-term retention

I maintain high academic standards and expect discipline, intellectual engagement, and commitment from my students. My goal is not only to help you succeed in examinations, but to elevate your level of scientific understanding and clinical competence.

If you are serious about mastering medicine from its molecular foundations to its clinical applications, I will provide structured, rigorous, and high-level teaching to support your success.

As a child i struggled with particular subjects and found learning to be demoralising.
In middle school, I was fortunate enough to have teachers who through positive encouragement and persistence made those subjects my favourite even to this date.
I aspire to become like them for someone else.I try to make learning fun,eventful and creative which is curated according to the students needs, capacity and circumstances.
As a working candidate,I had the opportunity to tutor students in all subject areas during my post graduation.I have 7+ years of teaching experience.
So rest assured,you will be safe hands.

Hi! I offer online tutoring in biology and chemistry for school students.

Biology can be taught up to advanced / exam preparation level, while chemistry tutoring is available at basic and intermediate school level.

My goal is to help students understand the concepts clearly, not just memorize facts. During lessons we can:
• review difficult topics from school
• prepare for tests and exams
• go through homework together
• build a stronger foundation in the subject

Lessons are online and adapted to the student’s pace and needs. I aim to create a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and developing confidence in science subjects.

If needed, I can also help with general study support for younger students in other subjects.
