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.

Orthopedic Biomechanics: Musculoskeletal system and Biomedical Implant Design
I hold a PhD and my thesis topic was the Design of Biomedical Implants and Biomaterials under Static, Impact, and Fatigue loads. I currently work as a post-doctoral researcher in the Aerospace Engineering Faculty at TU Delft (Delft University of Technology). Some examples of the topics that will be covered in our lesson are • The musculoskeletal system • Loads and motion in the musculoskeletal systems • Bone tissue mechanics • Soft tissue mechanics • Beam theory for structural analysis of musculoskeletal systems • Beams on elastic foundation • Interface modelling • Bone-implant systems • Implant design by means of material optimization • Screws in implant fixation • Intramedullary rods • Bone plates • External fixators • Fracture fixation devices • Total hip replacement • Total knee replacement • Articulating surfaces Courses that require knowledge in physiology, Materials Science, and Mechanical Behavior of Materials may become challenging for students who lack a solid basis in either of the fields. To address this, I take a student-centered approach, starting from the basics to actively engage all students, including those with weaker backgrounds. If you have any additional questions before starting a class, please feel free to ask me. I am here to assist! :)

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.

Lezioni di scienze: dalle elementalari alle scuole superiori.
I am laureate in Scienze Biologiche e Biotecnologie, Indirizzo Ambiente e Agro-Industria. For 5 years I continue to be students of different età, in diverse corsi di scienze. Chemistry, mathematics, biology and others are not secret per me. With this enthusiasm I will wait for others to stop in a very simple way. Here we learn in the preparation of those written and oral, and in the study of the various disciplines.

Basic / Advanced Biology using exciting, easy to understand graphical methods
I have a passion for science, especially life science. After having finished my master's degree in Biotechnology and working as a molecular oncology researcher for 3 years, I now wish to share my passion for this field with budding, curious minds. In this class, based on the requirement of the student, I will focus on basic or advanced life science topics such as molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry and bioanalytical techniques. If you are in school and need your basics covered, I can teach basic biology and chemistry in the simplest manner. I can understand these subjects can come off as quite dry to many students, but hopefully, my extreme enthusiasm in this field will change that for you. Hope to see you soon.

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.
