I have a passion for science, especially life science. After having finished my master's degree in Biotechnology and working as a molecular oncology researcher for 3 years, I now wish to share my passion for this field with budding, curious minds.

In this class, based on the requirement of the student, I will focus on basic or advanced life science topics such as molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry and bioanalytical techniques. If you are in school and need your basics covered, I can teach basic biology and chemistry in the simplest manner. I can understand these subjects can come off as quite dry to many students, but hopefully, my extreme enthusiasm in this field will change that for you. Hope to see you soon.

Biomedical sciences such as biochemistry, cellular and molecular biology, microbiology, and immunology are required for different types of university studies such as medicine, pharmacy, and allied health professions.
These are courses that are at the heart of my academic and professional career. I have a doctorate in biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences and I am currently a professor at the Léonard de Vinci high school in Brussels.
I adopt an interactive method adapted to the needs of each student. I coach the student to develop a working method that makes them autonomous in their journey.
I also offer support and proofreading for TFE, master's and doctoral manuscripts.

2. Cultivate scientific inquiry skills, such as designing and conducting experiments, analyzing data, and drawing conclusions based on evidence.
3. Foster critical thinking and problem-solving abilities by applying biological concepts to real-world scenarios.
4. Enhance scientific literacy by studying and discussing current biological research and its implications.
5. Promote the development of laboratory skills, including proper experimental techniques, data collection, and analysis.
6. Prepare students for the AP Biology exam through comprehensive content review, exam-style practice, and strategies for success.

Struggling to make sense of biochemistry? You are not alone—and there is a highly structured, better way to learn.

With over 10 years of teaching experience and a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, I know exactly how overwhelming biochemistry can feel. My sessions go beyond rote memorization to give students a true structural understanding, rooted in practical application and clinical cases.

One of my recent pre-med students initially found it impossible to connect pathways like glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. Through our sessions, she began seeing the bigger picture, visualizing how each molecule and enzyme plays a critical role in health, disease, and cellular metastasis.

Whether you are tackling enzyme kinetics, protein-ligand interactions, or complex metabolic processes, I combine deep knowledge from my active research in computational biology with a teaching approach that makes each concept clear and memorable. This is not just tutoring; it is an opportunity to truly master medical biochemistry.

Ready to transform your understanding? Let’s work together to make biochemistry not just manageable, but fascinating. I have a flexible schedule—book a first class to discuss what you are struggling with, and I will design a personalized curriculum to help you conquer even the most complex concepts.

Each student has their own way of understanding and reasoning; my role is to identify the one that will allow them to progress effectively.

During my studies, I had the opportunity to mentor a blind student in her biology courses for a year. This experience convinced me that effective teaching relies primarily on the teacher's ability to adapt to their student, and not the other way around.

The first session is devoted to an educational assessment:

* assessment of the student's level in the chosen subjects;
* identification of its strengths, its difficulties and its way of approaching scientific problems;
* discussion on its objectives in order to develop a personalized work program, presented to the student and, if necessary, to his or her parents or legal representative.

I offer courses from middle school up to Bac+5 level in cell and molecular biology as well as in biotechnology, and up to Bac+3 level in biochemistry, enzymology and biostatistics.

Ever wondered why Biology is so tough and it’s just about remembering stuff? Then, you have been definitely studying it the wrong way..

When you understand how a cell divides, how the plants grow, how the DNA duplicates itself or how the genes work, that’s where the actual fun of biology is.

Join me to understand the very fundamentals of our beautiful world and learn Biology as we go along:)
