I am a very hardworking person, who doesn't give up until satisfied. I've been told I'd make a great teacher😄.... but I don't know you'll tell me. I have teacher's assistant experience in Biology and I also mentor first years, so I believe I'll make a great tutor- with results.

Subjects taught
  • Biology

    Although I didn't getva distinction in the subject when I was in high school, having studied and completed my studies in the same field in university, I feel I am better equiped now and I will high school students an edge I didn't have then. I have also taught Biology to first year students (as a Teacher's Assistant) so I believe I have what it takes to help in a meaningful way.

  • Molecular and Cellular Biology

    I have obtained an honors degree in this field, when it seemed I wouldn't be able to. I did this through hardwork, determination and commitment which is exactly what I'll offer to the students I tutor to allow them to reach where I am and even further
