    Discover The Superpowers of Your Immune System Cells

    In this science class (immunology), students will have an overview of their immune system’ superheroes (cells), where they are and the amazing actions they will take to protect us from pathogens.

    Let's promote discussions and critical thinking activities (Q&A) so students will learn how the immune system cells team up to destroy a pathogen. We will go beyond that knowledge and learn what each of us can do to make sure our superheroes get the support they need (hello science of well-being!) The students will then review what they learned by role-playing: assuming the role of immune system cells and having the opportunity to teach each other what they can do to protect their team.

    About Me

    Hi! I am Paula. I am a scientist, especially curious about human cells and their troubled interaction with viruses.

    As a teacher, I share my passion for immunology by showing students we all have superpowers! Our journey starts by looking into our immune system, extending that knowledge to learn scientific methods to discover the world around us. I am also very interested in learning "how to learn" and effective strategies to learn better.

    I am a bachelor in Biomedicine with a master's in Science and Biotechnology. I am a certified ESL teacher and have been working at physical and online schools with 3 to 18-year-old students for +3 years.

    It is well proven that we learn when we are relaxed and interacting with the material and others. This is why I bring interactive games so students will develop their critical thinking, also showing them they already have all the skills to become scientists! I can quickly adapt my class to their needs depending on how they interact. I really enjoy it when students are given the opportunity to teach each other, it serves as a review done by and for themselves!

    When not in the classroom, I love spending time with my family (my husband and our ginger cat) and admiring the abundance of the ocean. The world is my backyard!
    I will see you soon!

    Education

    -Master in Science (with thesis, 2013) focused on human immunology and virology.
    -Bachelor in Biomedicine (with thesis, 2010)
    -English to BR-Portuguese Translator (2019)

    Experience / Qualifications

    I am a bachelor in Biomedicine with a master's in Science and Biotechnology, being a researcher for over 11 years. I am a certified ESL teacher (Advanced TESOL) and have been working at physical and online schools with 3 to 64-year-old students for +3 years.
    Learn, share and get help on human biology topics. Sessions will be designed to fit the needs of the student! We will be using the Zoom app. This class: This course is intended for private tutoring on specific human biology topics (ages 12 to 17). Each meeting, we will discuss the topic and areas that need greater attention. Students will engage in discussions so they can strengthen their critical thinking skills, and they will also be encouraged to review the topic using their own words to build an actual understanding of target concepts (we can do this together!). I am a science researcher, especially curious about our body's defense system and its troubled interaction with viruses. I am a bachelor in Biomedicine with a master's in Science and Biotechnology. I am also a certified ESL teacher and have been working at physical and online schools for +3 years. My latest hobby is learning "how to learn" and effective strategies to learn better. Topics may include, but are not limited to: • Molecular Biology • Cells • Genetics • Nucleic Acids • Human Physiology • Immune System If you are interested in private tutoring, please: 1. Request a time that works for you; 2. Provide the topics or syllabus of interest in advance to maximize my planning and ability to assist; 3. Purpose of the class: will this be an introduction of the material, review, an extension of topics or help with homework?

    Viswambher
    Physics / Science / Mathematics tutor - IGCSE / IB MYP and DP
    I am an interactive teacher with 5 years of experience. My teaching style is friendly and open, yet clear and direct. I incorporate a variety of materials, interactive simulations, and conceptual learning whenever possible. My abilities in education are exceptionally strong and continually improving with each tutoring session. Due to the previous situation with Covid, online teaching has become second nature to me, and I am delighted to assist you in your online learning journey. Teaching Methodology: To effectively teach a student, it is not sufficient to merely take notes or review the same material repeatedly. Students need time to connect concepts by approaching subjects from various angles. Making learning interesting in a classroom setting requires practice and skill, and I have been honing these abilities over the years, constantly seeking improvement as both a teacher and a learner myself!

    Private lessons in maths - physics - bio - methodology
    Having obtained my Engineering degree in June 2018 and currently working as a Software Engineer in an IT company, I want to share my knowledge acquired during my studies with people of all ages in the Brussels region. My goal is to help my students approach the subject from a different angle so that they feel more comfortable and confident. I adapt my lessons to everyone by combining theory, exercises and practical examples. This period is ideal for getting back up to speed and possibly adopting a new working methodology in order to best approach the end of year session. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

    Mathematics, Sciences, Algebra, Calculus, Statistics: Higher Education - private lessons.
    Need help with math and science (physics, chemistry,...)? As a civil engineer, 31, I am happy to help you! Learn at your pace and with many examples to clarify the learning material. I have years of experience in teaching simple and complex material. The lessons run as follows. First of all, together we look for the student's biggest stumbling blocks. These can be related to the subject matter as well as to the study method. From there, I continue to work at the pace of the student and encourage them to ask as many questions as possible. I also give them tips and tricks, and improve their working methods where necessary. During the lesson I give many examples to make the subject matter more interesting and we solve exercises together. Once the student has mastered the exercises from the lesson, I give some more challenging exercises to also test on the deeper understanding of the subject matter. In this way I try to optimally prepare the student for his / her test or exam. However, learning should also be enjoyable. That is why I always strive for a good relationship with the student through a spontaneous and positive approach. I am also very patient. All this lowers the barrier to ask questions and improves the student's learning process. Are you interested? Do not hesitate to contact me! See you soon! Tim
