Are you struggling with complex biological concepts, looking to master bioinformatics, or wanting to learn Spanish with a native speaker? Welcome to my class! I am a Biomedical Scientist (PhD) with over 10 years of research experience and 7+ years of teaching at the university level.
I offer highly personalised tutoring in:
Life Sciences: Biology, Microbiology, Immunology, and Biochemistry.
Computational Biology & Data: Bioinformatics, Python, R, and Data Analysis for the sciences.
Academic Skills: Scientific writing, thesis preparation, and paper dissection.
Languages: Spanish (Native) and English (C2 - Full Professional).
My Teaching Methodology:
I specialise in Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and the "Cartesian Approach." This means we won't just memorise textbook facts. Instead, we will deconstruct real-world problems, apply theory, and build your critical thinking skills. Whether you are a high school student prepping for exams, a university student tackling a complex thesis, or a professional wanting to learn a new language, I will design a roadmap tailored entirely to your specific goals and learning pace.
Let's stop memorising and start truly understanding. Book a lesson, and let's make learning an engaging and empowering journey!

Extra information
How we will work together:
Customised Materials: I provide all the necessary materials tailored to your level. For advanced science students, we will often use real primary scientific literature and "seminarios" to build your analytical skills. For language learners, we will use dynamic, real-world conversational scenarios.
Highly Adaptable: My background is "host-agnostic"—meaning I am highly adaptable! Whether you are a beginner or an advanced academic, I adjust my teaching style and vocabulary to match exactly what you need to succeed.
Global Perspective: Having worked and studied internationally across Peru, Belgium, and global networks in the UK and Netherlands, I am very comfortable connecting with students from diverse cultural backgrounds.

About Me
Hello! My name is Gerardo. I am a Biomedical Scientist (PhD) with over 10 years of experience in clinical research, immunology, and data science. Beyond the lab, I am deeply passionate about education and helping students reach their full potential. I have extensive experience teaching at the university level, where I spearheaded the transition to Problem-Based Learning (PBL) curricula. I love using real-world examples to make complex topics easy to understand! I believe learning should be an engaging and empowering experience.
