Biotech Master's Tutor | Cancer & Immunology Expert

Shelma C.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by the tiny, intricate world of cells and the elegant logic of mathematics. That curiosity led me to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering, followed by a Master's in Engineering Applied to Medical Science. Today, I’m a researcher working in cancer biology and immunology—fields that challenge me to think critically, solve complex problems, and explore how our bodies function at the deepest level.

But while I love the thrill of discovery in the lab, I’ve always found equal joy in teaching. Over the years, I’ve tutored students from elementary school through high school, helping them navigate the worlds of math and science with confidence and curiosity. I especially enjoy working with younger children, ages 8 to 10, where patience and creativity are key. Whether it’s explaining multiplication through games or using everyday examples to make biology come alive, I strive to make learning feel approachable and fun.

My experience as a researcher—publishing in peer-reviewed journals and presenting at international conferences—has given me a strong command of subjects like molecular biology, genetics, and biomedical engineering. But more importantly, it’s taught me how to break down complex ideas into simple, meaningful lessons. I believe that science and math aren’t just academic subjects—they’re tools for understanding the world, and every student deserves to feel empowered by them.

Tutoring isn’t just about teaching facts; it’s about building trust, sparking curiosity, and helping students see their own potential. Whether your child is just starting out or preparing for advanced coursework, I’m here to guide them with warmth, clarity, and a deep love for learning.
