I am a doctoral student in Biomedicine, I have worked in the molecular area, virology and cancer biology and I have also been an environmental guide. My goal is to teach students in a dynamic way, with great dedication and for them to understand that biology is not just what is in books.
It's okay if you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced, I assign one assignment per class and track progress periodically.

About Me

As an environmental guide and private teacher, I have noticed that students normally have classes based on reading books, boards classes, written workshops, and depending on the school, they can have laboratory practices or field trips occasionally. This makes biology boring. Also, in many cases in Colombia, the program content is relegated to current biology, which unmotivated the students and in the end, they do not learn too much.

I like to teach biology in a dynamic way, including the student and his/her curiosity, with curious tips or even with small activities that support what I am teaching to the student. I use the degree of the passion of the student as a measure of her/his learning, which has to be high and it is because he/she understands that biology is all that surrounds him/her, even if he/she does not see it so clearly.
I have learned this methodology thanks to the contact with the students and my motivation is based on her/his smile, her/his amazement, her/his desire to continue learning, the passion with which she/he asks the questions and I realize that many times, we underestimate the intelligence of the students, they are the best guides to know what they understand and what they don't.

préparation aux concours de réorientation de médecine ( SVT)
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.

Science Classes for Primary and Secondary students
Science is everywhere – from the technology we use to the way we understand the world around us. In my tutoring sessions, I help students see how science is not just something they learn in school, but a way to make sense of everyday life. By mastering science, they’ll have a deeper understanding of how things work. As a science tutor, I’m here to make science relatable and easy for students. In our sessions, I focus on helping them understand key concepts, build problem-solving skills, and grow confident in their abilities. I tailor each lesson to their needs, making sure they’re not just prepared for tests, but also truly enjoying learning. Parents can expect their child to gain both knowledge and confidence in science – skills they’ll carry beyond the classroom.

Ali
Medical student teaches SVT, biology and mathematics online
Hi! My name is Ali, a 4th year medical student with an overflowing passion for life sciences, biology and physiology. My academic background has allowed me to dive deep into these fascinating disciplines, and I have been fortunate to share this passion by teaching various students. Whether in the final year of high school, in the undergraduate program or even in private lessons for middle school students, I have helped learners demystify complex concepts in physiology, biophysics, immunology and biology. Nothing motivates me more than seeing a student overcome a challenge and understand a subject that seemed insurmountable. That spark of understanding is what I aim to provoke in each person I coach. Thanks to my varied experience with students of different ages and levels – from elementary school to university students preparing for competitions such as the LASS – I have refined a flexible teaching method adapted to each individual. Whether it is to explain concepts in depth, analyze errors in exercises, or mix the two, I am here to respond precisely to your needs. My age allows me to create a natural and fluid connection with my students, facilitating a climate of trust and exchange. Having completed my studies in basic sciences, I am ready to accompany you on subjects such as neurology, cardiology, and many others. Together, we will overcome academic obstacles to achieve your goals! Looking forward to starting this adventure with you!
