About Jan
I obtained my undergraduate degree in biology with a minor in physics from the University of Bonn in Germany, followed by a master's in microbiology conducted at Bonn and Harvard, where I also received rigorous training as a data scientist. I was awarded multiple competitive scholarships and graduated in the 2% of my year. After my studies, I worked as a research scholar at Harvard Medical School on the engineering of bacterial strains for CO2 sequestration and mineral purification, resulting in publications, patents and conference presentations. As a Graduate student I am now working on the computational design of pathways and proteins for the production of synthetic compounds as well as their experimental verification.
In addition to a strong theoretical foundation in physics, data science, biology, and chemistry, I have several years of experience applying these tools in research and conveying them effectively through teaching.

I teach by starting from first principles and building strong intuition before moving into deeper, more formal understanding. I explain concepts through visualizations and real-world examples, then reinforce and deepen that understanding through exercises, quizzes and by connecting different topics, so you don’t just learn them separately, but see how they fit together and build on one another. My goal is to help you develop a true and deep conceptual understanding, a clear framework for solving problems and improving your performance in exams. My lessons are interactive and tailored to you, whether you’re working through a specific course or aiming to build a broader, more connected understanding across subjects. I can support you with material from your current classes, or we can follow a structured course designed by me if you want to go beyond your curriculum or prepare for the upcoming school year. The topics I teach are listed below, but they represent only a subset of what I cover, so feel free to reach out even if your subject isn’t listed.
- Math (Linear Algebra, Calculus & Precalculus, Analysis, Probability, Statistics)
- Computer Science (Logic, Algorithms & Data Structures, Programming)
- Data Science (Regression, PCA, Clustering, Decision Trees & Boosting, Neural Networks)
- Physics (Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Thermodynamics, Optics)
- Biology (Genetics, Biochemistry, Cell Biology, Microbiology)
- Chemistry (Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry)

My friend recommended Jan to me for tutoring sessions on my Physics class. Jan is very patient with explaining difficult concepts, such as the Archimedes' Principle, circuits, and optics. When I don't understand something, he would go above and beyond to write out each step of how to solve the problem on his iPad and screen share with me. I also appreciate him following up with me after the tutoring sessions. At the end of each session, he would give me extra problems to practice on similar concepts at home and we would go over them during the next session. I really had a fantastic time learning with Jan and would definitely recommend him as a tutor!
Jan is a great teacher! He was tutoring my daughter when she was in middle and high school and he made topics she struggled with really enjoyable and easy to understand! Her grades improved a lot, we are really happy with him!
