I offer students support in science and biology courses from basics to university levels. My approach is to work within the framework of the courses that students are struggling with as a starting point and provide a space for thoughtful, guided problem solving on the topics with students to build deeper understanding of the theory and logic behind the subjects. My background comes from a hand on perspective as a researcher in the biomedical field.

Topics I have tutored on so far have ranged from Statistics to Biology, Chemistry, Calculus and Immunology. Science communication is also a subject that I enjoy and promote through helping with manuscript writing, editing as well as preparing for presentations.

From my background as a scientist I have a practical understanding of implementing scientific topics and emphasize the importance of understanding why subjects might matter and encourage students to explore these ideas.
Extra information
I was never the best studying during my high school and University years but went on to complete a PhD in Applied Pathology/Immunology. In graduate school I assisted in teaching a few courses and found that I was able to connect with struggling students, and understand what can help them break past mental blocks on subjects by working in a dialogue manner to build understanding and incrementally think problems and solutions through.

Dr.
Hello, I'm Pratibha, a PhD-qualified Biology and Chemistry tutor based in the Netherlands.

I have more than 10 years of teaching experience at secondary and university level. I help students understand Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Pharmacology and Chemistry, so they can do well in exams and feel confident in the subject. I teach online, and students from the Netherlands, Europe and the rest of the world are welcome.

What I teach
Secondary and pre-university: Biology and Chemistry for IB, A-Level, IGCSE, AP and other international curricula
University: Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Immunology, Genetics, Microbiology, Zoology and Biotechnology, all the five branches of Chemistry
Exam preparation: past papers, exam technique, revision plans and last-minute support
Homework and coursework help: including lab reports, essays and internal assessments

About my background
PhD in Zoology, MSc in Biotechnology (Core subject- Chemistry) and MSc in Zoology (Gold Medalist)
Former Assistant Professor, with experience teaching both school and university students
Published researcher in preclinical pharmacology, with a recent poster presentation at AIBIA2025 in Utrecht
Experience guiding student research projects and designing lab activities that link practical work to theory
Fluent in English, with working knowledge of French and native-level Hindi

How my lessons work
Concepts first: I explain the "why" behind each topic, so you are not just memorising.
Tailored to you: Every student starts with a short chat about their level, goals and syllabus, and I build the lessons from there.
Interactive: I use diagrams, worked examples, practice questions and digital materials, and I give clear feedback after each lesson.
Exam-focused: We practise how to read questions, structure answers and manage time under pressure.
Supportive and patient: All levels are welcome, from students who are struggling to those aiming for top grades.

Who I can help
Students who find Biology or Chemistry difficult and want to build confidence
IB and A-Level students aiming for top grades
University students who need help with Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or Immunology
Students who need help with revision, past papers or coursework

Book a lesson. Message me with your level, subject, exam board and goals, and we will plan your first lesson together. I look forward to helping you succeed.

Location of the Lessons: Live, interactive, and high-quality sessions delivered online—learn from home in the Netherlands or anywhere worldwide, Face to face- at your home or at my place.
