About Sama
I’m a science tutor with a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences and several years of experience teaching university students in biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. I have taught at both the University of Westminster and the University of West London, where I delivered lectures, practical sessions, supported students with assignments and supervised research projects.
What I enjoy most about teaching is making difficult topics feel simple. I know how overwhelming science can sometimes be, especially when there is a lot to memorise, so I prefer to teach visually using diagrams, pictures, animations and real-life examples. I want students to understand the idea behind a topic, not just memorise it for an exam.
Alongside teaching, I have more than 10 years of experience in scientific research and the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, which means I can also bring real scientific examples into my lessons. Are you a university student strugglingg with your project? I can help you.
I’m patient, approachable and happy to explain something in different ways until it makes sense. Every student learns differently, so I adapt my lessons to your level, goals and learning style.
Whether you need help understanding a difficult topic, preparing for an exam, working on an assignment or improving your scientific writing, my aim is to help you feel more confident and make science much easier to understand.

My lessons are relaxed, interactive and tailored to each student. I usually start by finding out what you already understand and which parts you find difficult, then we work through the topic step by step.
I use lots of diagrams, pictures, animations and real examples because I believe science is much easier to learn when you can actually visualise what is happening. My aim is to help you understand the logic behind a topic rather than just memorising facts.
During the lesson, I ask questions to check understanding and encourage you to ask as many questions as you need. If something is not clear, I’m happy to explain it in a different way until it makes sense.
I can help with Biology, Biomedical Science, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Microbiology, Pharmaceutical Sciences, exam preparation, assignments, scientific writing and research projects. I also have experience teaching and supervising university students, so I’m used to adapting my approach to different levels and learning styles.
My goal is for you to finish each lesson feeling more confident, less overwhelmed and with a much clearer understanding of the subject.
Recommendations
Recommendations are written by the tutor's friends, family, and acquaintances.
I highly recommend Dr Sama Pirkalkhoran for any teaching position. As a former student, I experienced firsthand their exceptional ability to make complex concepts clear, engaging, and easy to understand. Sama is an incredibly patient and approachable educator who genuinely cares about individual student growth. They possess a rare talent for breaking down difficult material into manageable steps, creating a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions. Thanks to their structured guidance, real-world examples, and encouraging mentorship, my confidence and academic performance improved significantly. Any student would be incredibly fortunate to learn from them.
