Bioprocessing/Biochemical Engineering/Pharmaceutical Biotechnology (Design, Operation and Scaling of Bioreactors and Unit Operations)

In bioprocessing you cannot have the cake and eat it too. Constantly, you need to make choices about which unit operation is best suited for a particular application and what are the trade offs.

Because of so many factors that guide this decision, it can be daunting for starting biotech/bioprocess students to be overwhelmed. I was definitely overwhelmed in my 1st year of uni. But after 5 years studying the subject, I am here to help you to think like an engineer and make informed choices based on the context of the process and product.

In my class, I will teach you the theoretical background behind bioreactors and common unit operations (e.g. filtration, centrifugation, chromatography) and how to implement them into a bioprocess. This class is best suited for university students (bachelor or master), people joining/switching industry or just people interested in how pharmaceuticals are made! If you are a university student, we can can discuss your own assignments or projects.

My tutoring style is discussion-based. We will have a conversation about the subjects rather than a lecture, which will give you the tools and confidence to better synthesize the course content and present your ideas in a specific manner. I create my own materials for each class, including definitions, calculations, diagrams and past-exam questions. I use a touchscreen tablet to interactively annotate our class worksheets, draw P&IDs, structures and mechanisms, write down chemical reactions and step-by-step calculations.

For any questions, please feel free to contact me!

About Me

Hello there! I am a Biotechnologist specialising in drug development. I am into biology, chemistry and biochemical engineering

I enjoy making connections between science that I learned in school and everyday life actions. This technique helped me to complete assignments and pass exams and will probably help you too!

In high school, it was hard to enjoy these subjects when under pressure, therefore I want to make my lessons relaxing and lift some of the weight from students' shoulders and make the learning fun.

I stand by 'learning-by-doing'. In the classes we start by discussing the content of choice with colours, and diagrams, pictures or diving straight to past-exam questions. I believe, that active answering example questions in your own words solidifies your understanding. I have a database of exercises from both biology and chemistry. Then working closely with the syllabus and mark scheme for a given subject we will prepare for the exams, making sure you understand the exam technique and keywords.

Additionally, I can help you with tackling any coursework, experimental design, laboratory protocols, and exam preparation. Specifically for IB, I can help with IAs and EEs.

My daughter benefited a lot from studying with Monika. Thank you.
Monica is an excellent tutor. She is always prepared and knows how to make everything seem easy. She is also making notes with the basic questions and answers that she sends after the class, which is so helpful! I highly recommend her!
In this class I will help you navigate the content and give you tips and tricks on how to prepare for the exams and complete your assignments (e.g. IAs/EEs for the IBD Programme). It is suited for students who want to revise before an exam, switch from standard to higher level subject, want to have a head start on the course material before starting IB or need help with their assignments. First and foremost my lessons are tailored to YOUR needs - how you learn makes a big impact on your understanding of school material. I create a comfortable, relaxed and motivating space where you can come to at ANY knowledge/skill level and ASK all of your questions. :) Despite my science-heavy background I make the lessons creative and fun and encourage my students to think outside of the science subjects. My tutoring style is discussion-based. We will have a conversation about the subjects rather than a lecture, which will give you the tools and confidence to better synthesize the course content and present your ideas in a specific manner. I create my own materials for each class, including definitions, calculations, diagrams and past-exam questions. I use a touchscreen tablet to interactively annotate our class worksheets, draw structures and mechanisms, write down chemical reactions and step-by-step calculations.

Chemistry Tutoring: Making Chemistry Intuitive and Engaging
Chemistry is one of the most fascinating subjects, yet it's often taught in a way that focuses on memorization rather than true understanding. My goal is to change that for you. With over four years of tutoring experience, I’ve developed an approach that helps students grasp the “why” and “how” behind chemistry, making it feel intuitive and even enjoyable. I’m here to show you a fresh perspective on complex topics, breaking them down so they make sense in ways your teacher might not have covered. Each student has a unique learning style, and I believe that finding and adapting to yours is the key to mastering chemistry. Let’s work together to build a foundation of understanding that lasts, so you can not only excel in your class but also truly appreciate the subject.

Molecular Pathways to Life:The Chemistry and Biology of Living Systems
Life is a complex phenomenon and its emergence has been my major curiosity since childhood. I thought I could understand the concepts of the emergence of life by studying molecular biology. Therefore, I did my bachelor's studies in molecular biology and genetics at Yildiz Technical University. My bachelor's education has provided me with a comprehensive understanding and specific skills related to molecular biology. I am pursuing a Master’s degree in Chemistry & Life Sciences at Chimie Paris - Tech/Université PSL to understand the chemistry behind the transition of non–living matter to living matter and improve my perspective on the chemistry of life. I am confident that I can bring some fresh perspectives to complex problems of these topics with my background and skills and can teach fundamentals of these fields.
