I hold a BSc in Biology, a Master’s in Pathology, and a Life Coaching certificate. With over 15 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in supporting first-year college/university students and mature learners who are upgrading or returning to school after time away. I understand that starting (or re-starting) post-secondary education can feel overwhelming. My coaching style is encouraging, practical, and personalized. Whether you’re adjusting to new academic demands, brushing up on science fundamentals, or rebuilding study habits, I’m here to guide you through it.

My approach as a tutor combines academic expertise with over a decade of healthcare experience and certified life coaching strategies. I specialize in supporting students through academic transitions, whether you’re stepping into college for the first time, upgrading courses to return to school, or preparing for a future in healthcare.
Teaching Methodology & Techniques:
I use a student-centered, strengths-based approach. I tailor each session to the individual, focusing on clear explanations, practical strategies, and meaningful progress.
My methods include:
• Breaking down complex science concepts into digestible parts
• Coaching students to develop effective study routines and time management skills
• Encouraging self-reflection to build confidence and academic independence
• Offering guidance on navigating institutional systems (e.g., course loads, expectations, academic resources)
Typical Lesson Plan:
Each session is personalized, but generally includes:
• A check-in to set goals and identify challenges
• Targeted review of course content
• Guided practice or assignment support
• Study strategy building (note-taking, exam prep, time planning)
• Transition support (how to communicate with professors, manage workloads, or balance school with other responsibilities)
What Sets Me Apart:
With a BSc in Biology, an MSc in Pathology, a Life Coaching Certificate, and over 10 years of professional experience in healthcare, I understand the demands of both academic and professional life. I help students develop not only subject mastery but also the soft skills and mindset needed to thrive in post-secondary environments—especially in healthcare-related fields.
Who the Lessons Are For:
• First-year university and college students, especially in science and healthcare
• Mature learners upgrading or returning to school
• Students preparing for programs in nursing, medical laboratory science, or allied health
• Anyone feeling overwhelmed by academic transitions and looking for structure, support, and encouragement
Whether you’re working toward a healthcare career or rebuilding your academic confidence after time away, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and purpose.
