About Me

Hello,

My name is Jordy and I'm 30 years old. I am a medical student with a background in international business and have 6 years of experience in teaching.

After passing the admission test for medical school (a national exam counting over 7000 participants every year, and only a small fraction succeeding) I decided to help others prepare for this difficult exam by teaching them the content, helping with the structure and overall demistifying this scary-looking challenge. It soon became a passion of mine to help, teach and coach others through academic ''boogeymen'', because I believe everyone can achieve what I have with the right preparation and attitude.

As someone who has been in the position of ''doubtful student'' before, it would be my pleasure to help you achieve your academic goals and build your confidence along the way. Contact me for help with courses, exams, and study planning.

Education

- Medicine
Having obtained credits in courses such as histology, microbiology, anatomy, genetics and biochemistry, I feel comfortable in teaching courses like biology at a deeper level.

In this module I tutor in biology on a middle school to high school to college level, depending on what is required by the student. The possibilities vary from simple lessons about basic concepts all the way to the topics needed to pass ''end exams'' like the SAT, GCSE, MCAT and International Baccalaureate.

My knowledge from medical school help me explain the material on a deeper level if the student requires so.

48 C$ /h

In this course I will prepare you for the IMAT (Italian medical admission test) which happens every year and is the only way to get access to the English language medicine programme in public universities in Italy.

I will help you with the four scientific disciplines (math, physics, biology, chemistry) as well as the critical reasoning and general knowledge aspect. I will also prepare you with real-life exam scenarios in order to get used to the time limit and other constraints.
