About
Hi there! My name is Christine, a student-centered tutor eager to share knowledge in life science courses with you! My areas of expertise are molecular biology, bioinformatics and biochemistry, which I have studied to a PhD level with multiple publications, 5 years research experience in these subject areas, and two years on-site teaching experience to undergraduate students. I have had the priviledge to experience quite a variety of teaching methods, having studied in the top 4 universities in Belgium (KU Leuven, Ghent University, Vrije Universiteit Brussels and Universiteit Antwerpen). I'm looking forward to incorporating the best methods I picked ,and sharing tips that helped me to navigate an intense interuniversity masters program and graduate with a great distinction. With me, you can expect an interactive learning session with lots of visuals to help simplify the complex science matters. Not yet joined the University? Worry not! I can also tutor chemistry and biology subjects, which I have taught at highschool level for two years. Together, let's make learning science fun! See you soon!
