About Me

I always loved Science (particularly Biology) and - besides the obvious reference to Rosalind Franklin, Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace - I was greatly influenced by Desmond Morris, David Attenborough, Stephen Jay Gould, Richard Dawkins and Paul Ekman. Their ability to question and to endure on a quest for the truth has always amazed me.
I am a Biologist with a Master's degree in the field of Education (focusing on Biology). I have been working in the field of Education and Adult Training since 2000. I believe that I am becoming a facilitator (rather than the chief protagonist) of my students’ education and learning experience. It is not just about what they know, but rather how they know it, and what they are planning to do with that data. I want to encourage students to become inquisitive problem-solvers and innovators. I also believe that teaching can also develop resilience, compassion and empathy, which are key-skills in our complex world. Recently, I started to develop a profound interest about mindfulness. As a mindfulness practitioner I feel and understand its benefits. So, I am inspired to take my knowledge and use my practice to benefit many.

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.

If you're looking for an organised and professional teacher to help you achieve your academic goals, look no further! The IB science subjects can be extremely difficult to go through on your own, and I'll be glad to use my experience to help you out.

A couple of things I like to do:

- Initial test or interview to assess your level.
- Use Notion as a platform to share all my resources.
- Use mock papers that lay out the exercises JUST like in the real exams, so you will feel really prepared.
- I give homework when appropriate.
- I provide any kind of mentoring and college counseling. People who study Biology and Chemistry usually want to pursue a clinical career-- and that is a complex process!

Hello students! Do you find it difficult to learn science subjects, especially chemistry? This may be because chemistry contains some difficult or complex concepts or terms. If you are one of these, do not worry!! Hello and welcome to you, my students, in the right place to solve this problem through simplifying science lessons, especially chemistry. Through these lessons, we will learn together how to deal with difficult-to-understand matters and terms, because I have extensive experience extending to more than 15 years in conveying complex concepts in a clear, easy and simple way. My goal is to make science and chemistry in general and organic chemistry in particular wonderful and understandable for everyone. As a dedicated teacher, I create an interactive and stimulating learning environment for my students using the latest methods. I am ready to share my passion and guide each student towards excellence and success in the field of science and organic chemistry and in studies in general, as I work as a student advisor in an international institution. In addition, I have excellent communication and presentation skills and am patient and calm when teaching. In addition, I constantly follow up on my students' progress and regularly evaluate their understanding through continuous solution of objective questions, as I care more about understanding than memorization. On the other hand, I also maintain good follow-up with parents. My teaching approach is directed towards achieving the highest results, with a focus on helping students understand and master information.

For university students or master's and doctoral students, I teach the course of natural product chemistry or phytochemistry. In this course, we will learn about the methods of extracting, separating and identifying the chemical form of active chemical compounds (biologically active secondary compounds) from natural sources, such as medicinal and aromatic plants. We will also discuss what is known as chromatography, spectroscopy devices, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and magnetic resonance analysis. In addition to knowing some important applications of these active materials in various fields, such as the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, etc. We will also learn the practical methods that are carried out in the laboratory to conduct toxicity, antioxidant and diabetes analyses, etc.

Finally, "for those interested in scientific research" there is a course dedicated to knowing what scientific research is, how to choose a research point, how to write scientific research and how to find the appropriate journal for publication and everything related to this topic.

Experience: About 20 years of practical experience in the field of chemistry, medicinal and aromatic plants and pharmacy with parallel training and private lessons for chemistry curricula.

With my qualifications and experiences, as I hold a master's degree and a doctorate in organic chemistry (chemistry of natural products), in addition to other postgraduate certificates and a doctoral scholarship in pharmaceutical sciences in Belgium from the Erasmus Mundus organization affiliated with the European Union.

Chemistry is often taught as a series of facts to memorize, but at its heart, it's a beautiful and logical story about how the world works at the molecular level. As a master student of theoretical and computational chemistry, I don't just teach you what happens; I teach you the fundamental why.
This class is designed for students who want to truly understand chemistry, not just pass a test. Whether you're a high school student grappling with stoichiometry, an undergraduate diving into organic chemistry, or simply a curious mind wanting to understand the world around you, this course is for you. I believe that anyone can understand chemistry with the right guidance.
My goal is to be that guide. I'm here to help you, whether you're feeling lost in class, preparing for final exams, or starting a university course that feels overwhelming. I adapt to each student's unique needs and learning style.

I can help you master:
The Atom and Periodic Table: Understanding the building blocks.
Chemical Bonding: How and why atoms stick together.
Stoichiometry: Mastering mole calculations and chemical reactions.
Solutions and Concentration : Making sense of molarity and dilutions.
Acids, Bases, and pH : Demystifying protons and logarithms.
Thermodynamics and Kinetics: Understanding energy and reaction rates.

And more! Whether it's physical chemistry, organic chemistry, or inorganic chemistry, we can explore it together.
We'll work at your pace, fill in any gaps in your knowledge, and build your confidence step by step.

IB Physics is one of the most technically demanding subjects at Diploma level. Success requires more than conceptual understanding — it requires structured exam execution.

This programme is designed for students aiming to move up grade boundaries through disciplined, examiner-aligned preparation.

Each student follows a structured performance cycle:

• Diagnostic assessment of current level
• Concept consolidation with precision
• Command term interpretation training
• Markscheme alignment and structured answer writing
• Timed past-paper simulation
• Error pattern analysis and refinement

Many capable students lose marks due to poor structure, misinterpreted command terms, or lack of exposure to examiner-style questions. These gaps are addressed directly.

Over the past year, students have improved by two to three grade boundaries within eight to ten weeks through targeted intervention and consistent practice.

Sessions are delivered online in a professional, interactive format and are suited to students preparing for mocks, final exams, or IA refinement.

Designed for serious students aiming for 6s and 7s.
