About Shahira
I am a multilingual and multicultural Biology and Biotechnology Educator, Content Expert, and Professional Development Provider with 25 years of experience and deep passion about training, educating, and empowering students and non-traditional adult learners to pursue their academic and career goals, while becoming lifelong learners.
I teach lecture and lab courses in Molecular Cell Biology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Microbiology, General Biology, and Advanced Placement Biology.
I started up Genedu to equip students and adult learners with an innovative and updated skill set in biotechnology that will expand their professional horizon and improve their promotion potential.
I am a Facilitator for anti-bias professional development training for educators at the Museum of Tolerance, where I also volunteer as docent and exhibit guide. This work focuses on culturally responsive teaching strategies, social media literacy, and social emotional learning as an equity-based strategy. I thoroughly enjoy both aspects of my career: biotechnology education and anti-bias education.
I am fluent in English, German, Arabic and French.

Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
Shahira is a very good and helpful tutor. She explains the most confusing things very effectively and helps me to understand hard concepts quickly and easily. She also has helpful slideshows for many different concepts which make it much easier to understand units.
Professor Shahira is very clear in her explanations. She really helped me understand the material and was patient with me. Great for more advanced students as she is very knowledgeable about biology, but also good for students struggling with the subject.
Under Shahira's guidance, I learned an exceptional amount of material in an efficient and effective way with a multitude of resources to assist in both practical and conceptual development. She also answers questions promptly and willingly reexplains material, prompted or not. She is a trustworthy and worthwhile teacher.
Professor Shahira is an amazing professor; her lectures are clear, which helps in better understanding, and she gives help where a weak student, like myself, may need it.
