In bioprocessing you cannot have the cake and eat it too. Constantly, you need to make choices about which unit operation is best suited for a particular application and what are the trade offs.

Because of so many factors that guide this decision, it can be daunting for starting biotech/bioprocess students to be overwhelmed. I was definitely overwhelmed in my 1st year of uni. But after 5 years studying the subject, I am here to help you to think like an engineer and make informed choices based on the context of the process and product.

In my class, I will teach you the theoretical background behind bioreactors and common unit operations (e.g. filtration, centrifugation, chromatography) and how to implement them into a bioprocess. This class is best suited for university students (bachelor or master), people joining/switching industry or just people interested in how pharmaceuticals are made! If you are a university student, we can can discuss your own assignments or projects.

My tutoring style is discussion-based. We will have a conversation about the subjects rather than a lecture, which will give you the tools and confidence to better synthesize the course content and present your ideas in a specific manner. I create my own materials for each class, including definitions, calculations, diagrams and past-exam questions. I use a touchscreen tablet to interactively annotate our class worksheets, draw P&IDs, structures and mechanisms, write down chemical reactions and step-by-step calculations.

For any questions, please feel free to contact me!

About Me
Hello there! I am a Biotechnologist specialising in drug development. I am into biology, chemistry and biochemical engineering

I enjoy making connections between science that I learned in school and everyday life actions. This technique helped me to complete assignments and pass exams and will probably help you too!

In high school, it was hard to enjoy these subjects when under pressure, therefore I want to make my lessons relaxing and lift some of the weight from students' shoulders and make the learning fun.

I stand by 'learning-by-doing'. In the classes we start by discussing the content of choice with colours, and diagrams, pictures or diving straight to past-exam questions. I believe, that active answering example questions in your own words solidifies your understanding. I have a database of exercises from both biology and chemistry. Then working closely with the syllabus and mark scheme for a given subject we will prepare for the exams, making sure you understand the exam technique and keywords.

Additionally, I can help you with tackling any coursework, experimental design, laboratory protocols, and exam preparation. Specifically for IB, I can help with IAs and EEs.
