This tutor holds a Ph.D. in Agriculture, showcasing an extensive background in biological research with a focus on molecular biology, genetics, and biotechnology. Their academic journey is complemented by hands-on experience in both animal and plant tissue cultures, genetic engineering, and various molecular techniques such as PCR, gel electrophoresis, and DNA/RNA analysis. These skills not only reflect a robust understanding of the life sciences but also equip them to offer deep insights into the scientific aspects of biology tutoring.
Throughout their career as a Junior Research Fellow, this tutor has been actively involved in cutting-edge scientific projects. They have contributed to significant studies such as the identification of genes linked to mitochondrial dysfunction and analysing transcriptomes related to disease development in plants. Their role required critical thinking and complex problem-solving abilities—skills that are invaluable when teaching students how to approach challenging scientific concepts.
With expertise ranging from bioinformatics using Python and R to practical lab techniques like Western blotting and flow cytometry, this tutor brings a comprehensive skill set to their tutoring sessions. They are adept at simplifying complex topics for better understanding, making learning interactive and engaging for students. Their ability to integrate computer science with biology offers students a unique opportunity to learn about the latest technological applications in science education.

As it was the first lesson and I was unaware of the student's requirements, we didn't had any specific topic to pick up so we started from the topics coming in the upcoming assessment (Trigonometry). I gave a brief introduction to the basic concept of trigonometry and did a simple derivation.
The student has an overall understanding of most concepts. The student needs help in understanding the more complex concepts and needs more advanced problem-solving skills. I would recommend that the topic for the next lesson should be notified at least one week in advance and then the lesson should start with a brief overview of the topic with important concepts and then one or two easy problems followed by more advanced problems.
