Instructor's Courses

With a degree in Biotechnology and great experience in the field, I have gained a deep understanding of the principles of biochemistry and biology. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of research projects, exploring topics ranging from genetic engineering to drug development.One of my greatest passions, however, is teaching. I believe that everyone should have access to quality education, and I am committed to sharing my knowledge and expertise with the next generation of biologists.As a tutor and instructor, I have helped countless university students navigate the complex world of biology. From the basics of cellular and molecular biology to more advanced concepts such as genetics and bioinformatics, I am dedicated to explaining the material in a way that students can understand and apply to real-world problems.Whether I am tutoring a small group of students in person or creating online lecture videos, my goal is always the same: to help them succeed!
