As a Private Academic Tutor, I provided individual and small-group tutoring in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and English. I used structured explanations and adapted lessons to students' learning needs.

I prepared students for examinations through topic-based revision and past-paper practice, helping them break difficult scientific concepts into manageable parts. In 2023, I also delivered online tutoring in Biology and Chemistry, planning lessons around individual learning requirements and academic goals.

At Edge Hill University, I completed a final-year research project involving a systematic literature review of flavonoids in PCOS management and molecular docking of a top candidate. My scientific experience includes laboratory techniques, BLAST, NCBI databases, and scientific data analysis.
