About GORDON
My credentials include: A BSc. --Biology, Masters--Microbiology and PhD. --Neurobiology. I have a few scientific publications. Apart from biology, I also have an electronic technology degree and music is part and parcel of who I am.
I taught at high school, community college, college and university levels. My teaching experience spans decades and is broad, integrative and international. My mode of delivery is via clear illustrative PowerPoint presentations. I "break it down" I am not satisfied until you get it. I ask relevant, well-constructed, mind stimulating yet simple questions.

I love life--nature on a whole and I love people. I believe in God and cherish my spirituality, but I respect the choices of others and have no prejudice against differences and diversities. We are all Homo sapiens and so it's our duty to promote and preserve our species as well as being sensitive to and preserving of our co-existing species.

Unlock the Melody of Biology with Me!
Dive into the world of biology where learning becomes as harmonious as a melody. Just as I express my passion through the piano and guitar, I transform complex subjects into symphonies of understanding and success.
Imagine biology as a fun and engaging subject. That's my goal for you! I specialize in breaking down challenging concepts into simple, digestible pieces. My teaching method includes clear, illustrative PowerPoint presentations that make learning interactive and enjoyable. I won't rest until you fully grasp the material.
Here's what you can expect:
- A personalized approach that adapts to your learning style.
- Stimulating questions that challenge your mind and deepen your understanding.
- A comfortable, fearless environment where you can freely explore and ask questions.
Take, for example, the topic of Aerobic Respiration. We'll explore:
1. Glycolysis: The initial breakdown of glucose into pyruvate, setting the stage for energy production.
2. Kreb Cycle: A series of reactions that harness energy from carbon bonds, producing essential molecules like NADH and FADH2.
3. Electron Transfer Phosphorylation: The final stage where energy is converted into ATP, the cell's power currency.
Each lesson is enriched with vibrant figures, illustrations, and animations, ensuring a comprehensive and enjoyable learning experience.
Ready to transform your understanding of biology? Book a lesson with me today and let's make learning a melody of success!

All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with GORDON.
Perfect! He was able to make accommodations to fit around both of our schedules. Also, he was a good communicator and went into depth on the topic we worked on. He showed extensive knowledge of the physiology of the muscular system.
I would reccomend!- Juliana is a committed and discipline student. She seems to have a lot on her plate but organize her time well to fit in with schedules we both decide on. During lesson sessions, she pays rapt attention, take notes, and is not timid to attempt answering questions I present. She is overall a respectful and wonderful person. I am delighted to be her biology tutor.GORDON's response :

He consistently went above and beyond by taking additional time to clarify difficult concepts and providing extra resources and practical tips to help students succeed. His deep knowledge spans multiple areas within the biological sciences, and his patient, understanding approach makes him incredibly approachable and supportive. Anyone seeking to master complex biological topics would greatly benefit from his guidance.
Gordon demonstrates a deep understanding of Biology and an exceptional ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and engaging way. He tailors each session to meet the specific needs and learning style of each student, which made a significant difference in both confidence and academic performance.
