Biology
I adored Biology in High School. So much so, that I did a degree in Biochemistry and Microbiology. I have a passion for this subject and keep up-to-date on new breakthroughs and theories. Not only do I know this subject well, but I also have a knack for simplifying the more obscure details. Plus I'm an absolute Research freak so if I don't know something, I WILL find it for you by the next session!

Writing
I am in love with the English language. I am a writer of flash fiction stories and short stories. If you don't know what flash fiction is, it is a complete story told in under 500 words. With so few words to play with, you really have to have a great vocabulary to find the least number of words to describe your situation. E.g. Your character has blue eyes and black hair and you want to describe it in a poetic, but brief way... Her azure eyes gleamed as the wind ruffled her raven locks. (so I just told you what she looks like and that it is windy, all in 11 words) I love reading, which I think is a key to becoming a great writer. In fact, if you have a favourite author, I am super interested to find out who, and read their work. I'm not just a writer though, I am also an extremely efficient researcher and can assist with any reports that you might be stuck on (I will not do your work for you, but I can assist)

Biochemistry
I'm not going to lie. I hated Biochem in Varsity, but, that being said, I do have this unusual knack for Enzymology and that is the field of biochemistry that I would be tutoring you in. I got a distinction for my Enzymology exams and the practical component. I love doing research so I would be happy to assist in any projects you may be busy with. I won't do your work for you, but I will help in any way I can.

Microbiology
I have a BSc with joint majors in Biochemistry and Microbiology. I have an interest in the Life Sciences and I want to spread that interest to as many people as possible. I also have this lovely ability to simplify things, so if you are having issues grasping an intricate concept, I bet I can have you understanding it in super quick time.
