PhD Tutor for Biology, Probability, Stats & Computational Biology

Mayank K.

I am a PhD candidate in Biology with over four years of experience teaching and mentoring students at the undergraduate level. My academic training spans core areas of biology, including genetics, ecology, and organismal biology, as well as quantitative fields such as probability, statistics, and computational biology. In addition to my research background, I have a strong foundation in programming, which allows me to help students integrate computational approaches into their studies. This combination of biological expertise and quantitative skills enables me to support students across a wide range of subjects, from mastering fundamental concepts to applying advanced analytical methods.

Throughout my doctoral program, I have served as a teaching assistant for several undergraduate biology courses. In these roles, I have led discussion sections, designed review materials, and provided one-on-one support to students. I have worked with students from diverse academic backgrounds and learning styles, and I tailor my approach to meet each student’s needs. My teaching style emphasizes active learning: instead of memorization, I encourage students to ask questions, work through problems step by step, and connect concepts to real-world examples. This method not only builds confidence but also helps students develop the critical thinking skills necessary for long-term success.

I enjoy working with both high school and college-level students, whether they are preparing for standardized tests, seeking to improve course performance, or looking to strengthen their understanding of computational and quantitative methods. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students succeed in the short term, but also to equip them with the tools and strategies they need to become independent learners.
