About Vanessa
Hi! I’m a plant biologist with a PhD and over 8 years of experience working in plant science, ecology, and environmental research. I’ve taught and mentored university students, supervised projects, and worked hands-on with plants in the field, glasshouse, and lab.
I really enjoy helping students understand science and have fun with it, not just memorize it. I’m patient, clear, and adapt my teaching to how you learn best.
