Biology & Chemistry Tutor | PhD Biochemist
Melbourne tutor in Anatomy, Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, GAMSAT, General Science, Health Studies, Human Biology, Microbiology, Nutrition, Physiology
I help students improve their results in Biology and Chemistry by identifying where they have fallen behind, rebuilding the necessary foundations and preparing them for exams in a structured and effective way.
With more than 10 years of teaching, tutoring and student mentoring experience, including university teaching at the University of Melbourne, I have worked with students from secondary school through to Bachelor and Master level. My background includes a PhD in Biochemistry and extensive experience explaining complex scientific topics in a clear and practical way.
My lessons focus on building understanding, confidence and strong exam performance. Students are encouraged to ask questions, think through problems step by step and develop the skills needed to tackle unfamiliar questions independently.
I teach Biology, Chemistry and related life science subjects from secondary school through to university level, including support for GAMSAT Section 3 (Biological and Physical Sciences).
Lessons are available online or in person in Melbourne.
