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.

Biology for biotechnological applications in various fields
Biotechnology is a broad field that applies biological systems, living organisms, or parts of organisms to develop or create products and services. It's essentially the use of technology to solve problems and make useful products based on biology. Examples of Biotechnology Applications: Genetic engineering: Modifying the genetic makeup of organisms to create new traits or improve existing ones. Bioinformatics: Using computer technology to analyze biological data, such as DNA sequences. Synthetic biology: Designing and constructing biological systems that don't exist in nature. Biopharmaceuticals: Producing therapeutic proteins and other drugs from biological sources Would you like to know more about a specific area of biotechnology, or perhaps we will discuss a particular application in this session.

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.

Biochemistry for Undergraduates and Curious Adults
Do you ever wonder why you're not supposed to eat grapefruits whilst taking certain medicines? Are you an undergraduate struggling with a particular topic in your degree (or is there something you're dying to know more about)? Do you have any vaccine-hesitant relatives? Or perhaps you always thought cells were cool but never knew where to start? If so, this might be for you. Like all my classes, this is student-led: you tell me what particular area you want to learn about, and I'll teach it to you. If you just want to know more about how we function and don't know where to start, don't worry! I'll take you through basic undergraduate topics like Biological Chemistry and Cell Biology, and as your knowledge of the fundamentals grows we'll move on to more advanced topics such as Metabolism, Genomics, Biotechnology, Microbiology and Immunology, and you can direct your own learning journey. I have a first-class Biochemistry degree from Imperial College with particular strengths/academic interests in Antimicrobial Resistance, Immunology, Biotechnology and Plant Science.
