Stefan

I am a Pharmacology MSci graduate from University College London where I achieved an overall first class honours and multiple awards in recognition of my academic achievements. I also achieved A grades in A-Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics and have a strong understanding in these subjects. I have a strong passion for scientific research, particularly in the biological sciences.

Since graduating, I held a Research Assistant position also at University College London, which involved researching new treatments for Alzheimer`s disease. I then moved to Yale University where I held a Postgraduate Associate position in which I was involved in the study of the the brain`s waste clearance system, the glymphatic system, in the context of its potential role in the treatment of various neurodegenerative diseases. I most recently held a Research Assistant position at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory where I was involved in the research of `mobile genes` know as transposable elements and their role in embryogenesis and cancer.

Experience: I have a friendly, patient and enthusiastic approach to teaching. I believe each student learns differently and I can adapt my teaching style to suit their needs. I am able to explain particular concepts in a very clear and concise manner that has been well received by both my peers at University and students that I have tutored in the past. Furthermore, I believe the use of past examination papers are a fantastic tool in preparing for exams as well as reinforcing a student`s understanding of any topics they may find difficult.

Having mentored students throughout my A-Levels whilst at secondary school, I have since gained over 9 years of experience tutoring GCSE and A-Level students. Many of my students went on to achieve their desired grades and enter university. All feedback I have received has been positive with my teaching style being highly commended.
