Oxford Biology Graduate with 2 Masters in Evolution Offering University Admissions Coaching for Biology in London and/or Online

I am a biology student currently applying for PhDs, and in the meantime interested in tutoring experience.I am looking to tutor students interested in applying for Biology or Zoology at university, especially in helping students through the Oxford admissions process (cover letter assistance and interview coaching).

After completing an undergraduate degree in Biological Sciences at the University of Oxford, I completed 2 Masters courses focusing on systematics, evolution and palaeontology at the Natural History Museums in London (course co-run by Imperial College) and Paris (course co-run by Sorbonne Université).
I completed my pre-university education in France through the french baccalaureate, and thus have particular experience in entering UK higher education from abroad (I am also bilingual/dual native in French and English).


As a passionate biology student I believe I have the tools necessary to help prospective students better express their potential throughout the admissions process.
As I am new to tutoring I have a keen interest in tailoring my tutoring to the student's needs and preferences, and preparing assiduously for sessions.

My university application coaching would involve:
- giving the student the tools to write an effective cover letter, and reviewing it with them in depth
- Helping students develop the right mindset and critical skills to tackle university interviews, and providing mock interviews

Experience / Qualifications
CV on Demand

I have completed masters theses focusing on evolutionary simulations (focusing on parallel evolution in Lizards), and on the evolution of pterosaur skull morphology, as well as an undergraduate research project on fossil salamanders.

Skills:

My studies have provided me with a comprehensive background in general biology, with focus on evolution, ecology and behaviour during my undergraduate studies, as well as systematics and palaeontology from my masters. I also have experience with field work and a multiple types of biological software, as well as programming experience in the R and Python coding languages.

I am bilingual in french and english, and have a decent level in german.

As a dedicated tutor with over six years of experience, I specialize in teaching Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry to students of all levels, from primary school to university. My academic background is robust, holding honors degrees from both the Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Medicine. This diverse educational experience has equipped me with a strong foundation in scientific principles and the analytical skills necessary for effective teaching. My tutoring journey began while I was still at university, where I was consistently ranked among the top of my class. This early start ignited my passion for education and set the stage for a fulfilling career in tutoring.

My teaching approach is carefully tailored to meet each student’s individual needs. I recognize that every learner has a unique style and pace, and I strive to adapt my methods accordingly. Whether a student requires in-depth explanations of complex theories or concise summaries of key concepts, I ensure that my lessons cater to their specific requirements. This flexibility allows me to build a strong foundation in core concepts while guiding students through practical problem-solving techniques that are essential for mastering the subjects.

In my lessons, I focus not only on helping students grasp the subject matter but also on developing critical thinking and analytical skills. I believe that understanding the "why" behind mathematical and scientific concepts is crucial for long-term retention and application. Therefore, I encourage students to engage in discussions, ask questions, and explore the material deeply. This interactive approach fosters a love for learning and promotes intellectual curiosity, which is vital for success in any academic endeavor.

I offer tutoring sessions in various formats to accommodate different preferences and circumstances. Students can choose in-person sessions at my location or opt for online tutoring using an interactive whiteboard and video platforms like Zoom or Skype. This modern setup provides a seamless learning experience that is just as effective as face-to-face instruction. My goal is to create an engaging and supportive environment where students feel comfortable and motivated to learn.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of witnessing many of my students achieve outstanding results, including grades of "Excellent," "Very Good," and "Good." This success is particularly rewarding when I see students who initially struggled make significant progress. By identifying and addressing their unique learning gaps, I help them develop the confidence and skills necessary to excel in their studies.

I am committed to empowering students with the tools they need to succeed in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. My lessons are designed to demystify complex concepts and make them clear and accessible. I strive to instill a sense of accomplishment in each student, guiding them to reach their maximum potential.

In addition to academic support, I also emphasize the importance of cultivating a growth mindset. I encourage my students to view challenges as opportunities for growth, helping them develop resilience and perseverance that will serve them well beyond the classroom.

If you are seeking a dedicated tutor who can provide personalized support and foster academic excellence, I invite you to reach out. Whether you are a student looking to improve your grades or a parent seeking guidance for your child, I am here to help. Let’s embark on a journey of discovery and achievement together, ensuring that every student can excel in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry!
