About Me

I hold a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from KU Leuven, where my research focused on molecular biology, synthetic biology, and nucleic acid technologies.

I currently work as a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven, developing molecular diagnostics and biosensor technologies for infectious diseases. My research integrates molecular biology, protein engineering, nucleic acid engineering, enzymatic assays, assay development, and microfluidic technologies.

Before moving into academic research, I worked for four years in industrial biotechnology, first in quality control and later in research and development. I specialized in the development and validation of biological indicators for sterilization monitoring under ISO and GMP standards, contributing to the creation of four FDA-approved medical products.

Thanks to this combination of industrial, doctoral, and postdoctoral experience, I can help students connect theoretical concepts with real research and biotechnology applications. I can provide support with molecular biology, biotechnology, protein and nucleic acid engineering, experimental design, scientific writing, data analysis, Python for life sciences, thesis projects, and preparation for exams or research presentations.

My lessons are adapted to each student's level and goals. I aim not only to help solve an immediate problem, but also to develop scientific reasoning, confidence, and independence.

Education

I hold a PhD in Biomedical Sciences from KU Leuven (Belgium), where I specialized in molecular biology, synthetic biology, nucleic acid technologies, bioinformatics, and computational biology. Prior to my PhD, I completed a predoctoral specialization in Pharmaceutical Sciences at KU Leuven with distinction. I also earned a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry and a Licenciatura (Master's equivalent) in Biotechnology from the National University of Rosario, Argentina, graduating with honors.

Experience / Qualifications

I have over 10 years of experience spanning academic research and industrial biotechnology. Before joining KU Leuven, I spent four years in the biotechnology industry, working in quality control and research & development on the design and validation of FDA-approved medical products under ISO and GMP standards.

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at KU Leuven, where I develop molecular diagnostics and biosensor technologies for infectious diseases. My expertise includes molecular biology, protein engineering, nucleic acid technologies, biotechnology, biochemistry, PCR and qPCR, bioinformatics, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), Python programming for life sciences, experimental design, and scientific writing. I enjoy helping students understand complex concepts, solve research problems, and bridge the gap between theory and real-world applications.

By PROFESSOR & PROFESSIONAL COACH

Hello,

First and foremost, I would like to wish you a warm welcome back to school and a peaceful year ahead as you work towards your goals. I am aware that the economic situation can sometimes be challenging, which is why I offer my services to accompany your child throughout their academic journey with ease and serenity.

Throughout my career as a Graduate Teacher and Graduate Professional Coach, I have worked in various contexts. Until last year, I taught in front of whole classes as well as in private lessons. Since this year, I have been providing face-to-face private lessons at home and also via video conferencing, a mode of teaching that I have practiced with university students for the past ten years.

My teaching environment has undergone significant changes, especially with the emergence of the Covid pandemic. This shift has led our secondary school students to adapt to the new mode of learning and communication, namely video conferencing. Despite the success of this transition, it is important to acknowledge that our younger students still require attention and a psycho-emotional connection in order to develop their autonomy peacefully.

Over the past two decades, I have implemented proven methodological approaches, some of which are borrowed from theater techniques, such as the Davis method (mind mappings/colors), and my specialty, professional coaching, which aims to enhance your child's motivation. My main goal is to foster agility in your child across all subjects, not only for the present but also for their future when I will no longer be by their side.

Ultimately, my objective goes beyond simply focusing on gaining points in a subject. I firmly believe in this approach due to my experience as a Mental Coach working with young athletes between Nice and Cannes, as well as throughout Europe via video conferencing, as part of their preparation for the French Tennis Championships. It has reinforced my conviction that working on a subject should be a nurtured objective that encompasses personal growth and development.

As a Professor in General Education, specializing mainly in scientific subjects, I suggest supporting your child in gaining agility in constructing their academic path during this unique period that is filled with both opportunities and challenges.

Looking forward to meeting you soon,
Corinne.

Nothing beats one-on-one lessons.
I am a qualified, experienced, and certified international tutor with a strong familiarity with the Cambridge IGCSE/A-Levels/O-Levels & IB Diploma curricula. I offer both ONLINE and IN-PERSON lessons in PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, and BIOLOGY, following the British, American, and Indian curricula.
My classes are available at affordable rates and can be conducted in-person or online. I adopt a student-oriented teaching style, striving to provide the best private lessons for my students.

With 6 years of professional experience in science (Physics, Chemistry, and biology), I am well-versed in both the British and American curricula and I possess a high level of competency. I have taught students from various countries, including Belgium, Spain, Switzerland, Japan, the USA, the Caribbean, the UK, India, China, Singapore, Malaysia, Turkey, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Italy, and South Africa.

Book a lesson with me, and we can start on any day and time that suits you.

My lessons are incredibly flexible, and I structure the lesson around fixing my students' misconceptions. This includes teaching a new topic from scratch or focusing on specific areas of difficulty depending on my students’ requirements.

I begin by assessing how well a student's level of initial understanding is. From there, I teach the lesson by explaining concepts, drawing diagrams, and using PowerPoints I've created beforehand. If my student struggles to grasp a concept, I explain it again and correct their mistakes. Finally, we cover exam questions to help mark the level of progress. I will always provide very honest feedback and give my students optional homework tasks for their independent learning.

I often find many students struggle with exam techniques. This is a very common challenge, especially at A-Level, as these techniques are vital to successfully answering application questions. Therefore, regularly practicing these skills via past papers and practice questions together really helps them achieve their goals.

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.
