Marine Science - Biology, Ecology, and Oceanography!

43 C$ /h

Thinking about marine biology as a career? Or do you have a general interest in marine biology and all the amazing life living in our oceans? Whether it's marine mammals, comparing polar and tropic seas, or understanding the oceanographic processes and the currents around the world, and how these might change with climate change, I am happy to help with a tailored marine biology course for you. Topics we can cover (but not limited to!):

- Oceans and currents
- Rocky coasts
- Polar seas
- Tropical seas
- Deep sea
- Benthic Ecology (the things that live inside and ontop of the seafloor!)
- Fisheries
- Climate change and the impacts on ocean ecosystems
- Statistics
- ... and many more! :)

I would recommend this level of tutoring to college and university level students (that's not to deter any of you ambitious secondary/high school students, or people with a general interest, you are more than welcome!). I have put beginner level as the class title, but I am happy to teach higher levels. We can tailor the class to you if there is a particular area of interest for you :)

About me: I am a PhD researcher who is specialising in Arctic marine ecology with a solid background in marine science and ecology. I am currently based in Finland, Europe, but I am a UK national and studied at both St Andrews University and Southampton University in the UK. I am flexible with timings so if the times listed below don't suit you please contact me and we can organise a time that works for us both.

Beginner level coding for R - science, statistics, and ecology

43 C$ /h

Becoming a scientist? Statistics and coding skills are an important part of your everyday job. Learn early, practice, and with no time you will be flying through your data analyses before everybody else. Using coding software such as R allows you to interpret and analyse meaningful data and plot beautiful graphs using base R or multiple libraries.
I will teach you the basic syntax of R, how to understand and 'think' like R, and build on those skills to do more complicated statistics (ANOVA's, PCA, GLM's, mixed-effects models, etc.) and - the most important(!) - how to plot beautiful graphs!

We can tailor the class to you if you want to focus on syntax, loops, statistics, models, figures/plots, etc. It's up to you! :)

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Learning with dyslexia, ADHD, or any other learning difficulty can be frustrating. Especially when you are expected to study in the same way as everyone else, despite your brain just working differently. I know this from personal experience.

I am a law student with dyslexia and ADHD, and over the years I have developed practical strategies that have helped me study, stay organised, and succeed academically. I now want to share those tools with children, teenagers and adults who may be facing similar challenges.

For younger students, I can provide homework and study support, helping them understand how they learn best and how to use practical tools such as mind maps, flashcards, digital resources, structured study sessions and focus techniques. If they already have a diagnosis, I can also help them understand the accommodations and learning tools available to them at school and encourage them to become more confident in communicating their needs.

Just as importantly, I understand the frustration that can come from teachers, classmates or others misunderstanding dyslexia, ADHD as well as other learning difficulties. My aim is to create a supportive, judgement-free environment where students can ask questions, experiment with different study methods and build confidence in their abilities.

My sessions are also suitable for adults who were diagnosed later in life, or who never had the opportunity to learn strategies for managing dyslexia or ADHD. Together, we can work on organisation, studying, reading, writing, planning and finding practical systems that fit your everyday life.

English & Italian lessons

I also offer English and Italian conversation, tutoring and study support for students with or without learning difficulties.

Having studied in both the IB/English-language school system and the Italian state school system, I am familiar with the different expectations, teaching styles and challenges students may encounter in both.

In summary, I would love to help with:

English and Italian conversation
Homework and schoolwork
Study organisation and learning strategies
Dyslexia/DSA and ADHD-friendly study techniques
Mind maps, flashcards and free digital study tools
Reading and writing support
Building confidence and independence in studying
Cambridge English exam preparation

My goal is not to force students into one method, but to help them discover the tools and techniques that work best for them and approach academic work and later their professional lives with confidence and security.

My name is Emilie and I am a veterinary medicine student. I also hold a Master's degree in health technologies and have almost 10 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, including some time in a training-oriented role.

This experience has taught me to make sometimes complex concepts clearer, more structured and accessible, but also to adapt to very different learning styles. Some students need a diagram, a concrete example, to rephrase things aloud, or simply to proceed step by step.

Patient, organized, and attentive, I aim to provide a supportive environment where students can ask questions without fear of making mistakes. My goal is to help them progress, gain confidence, and acquire methods they can then use independently.

I primarily offer academic support from middle school to the final year of high school, particularly in science subjects, as well as English tutoring.
